BLIND SCHOOL’S NEW PLANT TO i OPEN THIS FALL $1,025,000 Institution Will Provide Facilities for Century, Is Claim. The $1,025,C00 Indiana Blind echool plant at Seventy-fifth street and College avenue, which will be opened in September, will provide facilities for the blind children of Indiana for the next century, in the opinion of George S. Wilson, veteran school superintendent. The institution will be one of the best equipped plants in the country, and will be a “beauty spot" of Indiana, Wilson said. The buildings are fireproof throughout and are designed to handle 203 students. The present enrollment is 150. Blinaness among children is remaining about the same, the modem medical practices offsetting the increased population. More than half of the blind of the country are past 50. and the heavy increase is among adults. Opens in September The fall term of 180 school days for the nine months period v/ill open in the new school the fourth Wednesday of September, the old downtown property being turned j over to the Indiana World War Me- i morial trustees Oct. 1. A prominent landmark sinee 1852 ' will pass with the razing of the main j front building. The school was es- j tablished in 1847 and has turned out 400 graduates and aided 1,700 students to overcome their handicap of blindness. “I will leave the old institution with no regrets because I believe the j improved facilities will more than offset the fondness we have for these old buildings,” said Wilson, who has served as superintendent thirtythree years. Oldest in Service In point of service Wilson is the oldest state institutional superintendents in Indiana, and with the exceDtion of Ed Allen of Perkins institute at Boston, he is the oldest on the western continent. He is 71. Wilson is rounding out a half century at teaching, having formerly been principal and superintendent of the Greenfield schools where he knew intimately the late Jamei* Whitcomb Riley, the Hoosier poet, and his family. Wilson first knew the poet when attending grade school in the old Masonic hall at Greenfield. The teaching of the blind has been aided greatly by the fact that the Braille system has been adopted universally, making it possible to get french, German, Spanish and other languages in the Braille. 12-Ycar Course Offered The school offers twelve years’ course, with primary, intermediate | and high school instruction, equip- ; ping students to enter the State colleges. A state law provides that any blind student may have a “reader’’ three hours a day at state expense. William Nottingham, one of the seven graduates this year, plans to §nter Muncie Normal. ‘COUPE BABY’ PLACED IN ORPHANS’ HOME Child Abandoned in Parker Car Made Ward of Court. Juvenile Judge Frank J.

The child was identified as one bom at the city hospital May 17, when the mother gave her name as Inez Wilman, Chicago.

POLITICIANS EYE i MORROW RAGE WITHJNTEREST Diplomat’s Candidacy for Senate Viewed as Bid for Presidency. Bu ftcrivnx-ffnvard Xeicxpuorr AlHanee WASHINGTON, June 13.—Because a potential candidate for the Republican presidential nomination in 1932 may be developed, If Ambassador Dwight W. Morrow is the winner, Washington politicians are awaiting the New Jersey primary election next Tuesday with the keenest interest. Morrow is running on a states rights prohibition platform, with a pledge to use his best efforts to amend the prohibition law so that each state can decide whether it wants liquor. He is being hailed as the new leader of the “wet” faction of the Republican party and with prohibition increasing in interest as

a political issue many politicians visualize him as an opponent of President Hoover. New Jersey reports are that this speculation is causing Morrow much embarrassment, particularly as one of his opponents, former Senator Joseph S. Frelinghuysen, inquires every day if the White House is Morrow’s objective. It was reported in Washington several weeks ago, in usually wellinformed circles, that Morrow before he announced his candidacy, informed President Hoover that he was not a presidential candidate. Most New Jersey reports indicate that Morrow will be the winner, even though he has two opponents. His second opponent, Representative Franklin W. Fort, also a friend of President Hoover, and the former secretary of the Republican national committee, is running as a “dry,” with the suoport of the New Jersey

branches of the Anti-Saloon League and church organizations. Frelinghuysen, who voted for the Volstead law while in the senate, beat Morrow to a “modification" declaration and announced wet while Morrow was in London at the naval conference. Morrow’s candidacy, it is said, is being aided materially—although indirectly—by the fact that Colonel Charles A. lindbergh is his son-in-law. Lindbergh has acted as Morrow’s aerial chauffeur on a number of his speaking engagements and has shared the limelight with him. Alexander Simpson, prosecutor in the famous Hall-Mills murder case, is running unopposed for the Democratic senatorial nomination. Simpson is a wet and the impression is that he will prove a formidable opponent for Morrow or whoever wins the Republican nomination.
