NEW-YORK DAILY TRIBUXE. THURSDAY. FEBRUARY 22. 1900. rental OF THE NEW-YORK INSTITUTION' rOH THE BLIND AHEAD OF THE \u25a0'SEEING" CHIL- DREN IN SOME STUDIES. The sixty-fourth annual report of the New-York Institution for the Blind, at Nlnth-ave., Thirty- third and Thirty-rourth st»., gives some interest- ing figures showing the results of the Regents' examinations in that school during the nine years since the institution became a member of the Uni- versity of the State of New-York. It also makes a comparison that will be a surprise to moat peo- ple by giving in a summarized statement the results of the Regents' examinations from 1395 to 1898, inclusive, in the Institution for the Blind and those of the high schools and academies of this State. Of 1.449 "answer" papers written by the blind during the nine years. 71. per cent were up to or above the prescribed standard of excellence. Out of twenty subjects in which Regents' examinations have been given during the last four years the blind fell behind the "seeing" students in only three subjects, as allowed by the examination depart- ment. These were reading, advanced English and New-York State history. In Roman history an algebra the blind attained to the 100 per cent mark. In at least thirteen sub- jects they are shown to be far ahead. "These results," says Mr. Walt, superintendent of the institution, "appear to be due to the pre- dominance of the pure didactic expository method. Too much reliance is not placed on textbooks and textual methods, and the reflective faculties are given wider and freer scope, while the perceptive are less active. The operations are thus made in the highest degree mental, not only in the stage called mental Arithmetic, but throughout the whole course." Regarding the Regents' examinations in the In- stitution for the Blind, Mr. Wait declares that the time limit within which the answers in each sub- ject must be completed, as well as all other regu- lations prescribed for the conduct of the examina- tions, has been enforced in the institution ex- actly the same as in any other school, and that no relaxation of the rules has been made for his scholars. During the last year, he says. Regents' examinations were held in January, March and June, and in the latter month twenty-seven type- writingmachines were in use by the pupils of the institution for the five days during which the ex- aminations continued. Fifty-seven different pu- pils participated, 103 "answer" papers in fourteen subjects were forwarded, and all were accepted accept one. During- the last year several pupils have also successfully taken the rigid examinations of the American College of Musicians In notation, termi- nology, harmony, counterpoint, music history, music, form, aesthetic*, acoustics, piano theoretic, organ theoretic and piano demonstrative and organ demonstrative. Besides th» kindergarten, primary, intermediate, academic and music departments, a number of mis- cellaneous subjects are taught, among which are piano tuning, mattress making, chair caning, hand and machine sewing, knitting, crocheting, cooking and typewriting.

Feb. 21—At today's session nt th» Daughters of the American Revolution the Creden- tials Committee reported the names withheld yes- terday, and said that after careful examination It had found the credentials correct. The Warren Chapter question then arose, and after discussion the congress decidfd to hear th« minutes of the last mwtins. An att.-mpt was mad* to adopt the minutes cf tiie Board meetings for th» year and apfmve their findings. This would mean the acceptar.-e as Csa! of tts findings in rpgari to the loyal Warren Chapter. The confusion at this time was ?o gr^at that Mrs. Sh-'rman. of New-York, suggested that if the dis- turbance! contlnaert a sergpant-at-arma be ap- pointed. She said that yesterJ.iy one of the pages had been knocked down by members cf the con- gress in their determination to ?3 wher» they wanted to. Mrs. Thompson, of Ma«?achusetts, said it was true that a page had been knocked down, that the young woman was under her charge, and that the deed had bren done by two vice-presidents-general. Mrs. For-ythe. of New- York. said that the occurrence was accidental- Mrs. Hat"h. chairman of the Roast Committee, ask^d that better ord.^r be observed. The Ques- tion of approving the minutes o* the Board meet- in? was ruled out of onier. and the canzreaa proceeded to the consideration of amendments t» the constitution and bylaws. After same dJ- c'J-=*ion of this ouepticn the eoner^sr* tcck a recess. The "Warren Chapter controversy cam* up again Rfter recess, when Miss Helen Gilbert, of Illinois, announced that a delegate from that chapter had arrived. in the city and was ii the gallery. She moved that the delegate be seated in the congress. tout this was objected to. and the matter was tem- porarily adjusted by sendinsr it to a special com- mittee for investigation and report. Much of the day's sessions was occupied in con- sideration of amendments to the constitution. Thir- teen of them were considered, but only one was adopted, the others either being lost or withdrawn. The one adopted was submitted by May B. Temple, ar.rt provides that loral chapters shall be governed by the constitution of the National society, but may enact bylaws f^r their own government in harmony with the constitution of the National society. An amendment proposed by Mrs. G. H. Strong, of New- York the effects of which would have been to cut down the representation in the congress cf al* chap- ters with a m^mb^rship of less than one hundred to the Regent alor.r. was strongly opposed by th» Western delegates, who said that it was almost im- possible to secure a chapter with a membership of more than one hundred in any State in the Far West, ft was finally defeated.

Shocked at the loss entailed by his disobedience, "Washing-ton joined tne Clnner party at tne~rrow«-, and during: the meal his mother spoke to the guests praising the animal's beauty. The conscience stricken George decided Imme- diately to Inform his mother of the colt's death, and in order not to delay the evil moment confessed then and there. Inone of his school books still in good condition Washington wrote many precepts, two of these being "Labor to keep alive In your breast that lit- tle spark of celestial fire called conscience" and "Let your recreation be manful, not sinfu'.." In his conduct toward the men in the Army "Washington was noted for his kindliness, and he discouraged all efforts on the part of minor of- ficers to domineer over the men. One day, on hear- ing a corporal trying to compel a few men to move a los that was too heavy for the number employed, he directed the corporal to help them. whereupon the man asked, "Do you realize that I am a corporal T' Washington dismounted from his horse, and, after helping the men to move the log, directed them to call on him hereafter when they needed help, and rode away, leaving the corporal to reflect upon the object lesson so administered. A STOCK OF ANECDOTES that INDICATES that THE HERO OF BO LONG AGO WAS MUCH LIKE THE BOYS OP TO-DAY. George Washington and the War of the Revolu- tion will be the subjects of free lectures given this evening by the following speakers: J. C. Adams, in the assembly hall of Public School No. 87, corner of Amsterdam-aye. and Seventy-seventh-st.; S. G. Pratt, in the assembly hall of Public School No. 4*5, One-hundred-and-f.fty-slxth-st., between Ninth and Tenth ayes.; m. M. Mangasarlan will deliver an address on "Napoleon and George Washington" in Public School Xo. 3, One-hundred-and-forty-flrst- st. and Edgeeombe-ave.. and "Songs of the United States." by Miss Fanny G. Levy, at the Educa- tional Alliance, No. 137 East Broadway. Patriotic organizations will also celebrate the 16Sth anniversary of Washington's birthday. The National Society of the Daughters of the Ameri- can Revolution, now holding a Continental Con- gress at Washington, D. C, commemorates the day by various gatherings of a social and other nature, In which the members participate with en- thusiasm. In Philadelphia the women will hold luncheons cotillons, children's parties and other social gath- erings of a similar character. A fad that has of recent years gained much popularity among women and girls is to wear dur- ing these gatherings costumes made after the style worn by Martha Washington. At the luncheons lit- tle American flags will enter largely into the deco- rations, and articles on the menus that can be tinted, such as Ice cream, cakes and other dainties, will help out the color scheme of red, white and blue. Menu cards will be embellished with a re- production of the head of George Washington. Anecdotes relative to the youth and life of George Washington will enter largely into addresses that will form important features of every celebration. The stock of these anecdotes increases yearly, and they indicate that as a boy Washington very much resembled the boys of to-day. Despite the reputation for awe Inspiring dignity and self-control acquired by Washington during his maturer years, many anecdotes are extant which recount his recklessness during boyhood. His favorite exercise consisted in riding at break- neck speed the wildest horses on the plantation. The cheery tree episode was not the only occasion for disobedience on his part, and his love of riding led him to mount a spirited young colt that he had been forbidden to ride. When the opportunity came he mounted the animal, which, after trying to throw the rider, rushed away at such speed that the bursting of a blood vessel ensued, and the valu- able animal died.

Thus started and fostered, it has spread in a way that brings at on. gratification and concern. This journal has stood steadily behind it, and has thus made itself legally and morally responsible to many thousands of readers for the appeals It has pre- sented to them and the responses it has received, multitudes of - • shine packages and no inconsider- able sums of Sunshine money have been constantly sent to this office. The regular counsel of The Tribune advised that under such circumstances both the contributors and this journal should be protected by a legal organization and a treasurer under its supervision. otherwise It would be trifling with the legal and moral responsibilities it assumed. An In- corporation was accordingly effected from among members in its office with time and aptitude for the business details. No change in its general methods la contemplated, but \u25a0 little closer and more businesslike organization of its work will row be possible. ANOTHER STEP FORWARD.
