A residential school is main tained by the state at Salem for the purpose of educating those children who, because of defec tive vision, cannot make satis factory progress in the public schools. It operates under the Oregon State board of control and works closely with the state department of education. Children without sight or with insufficient vision to read print are taught Braille and handwriting. About one-third of the students are in this group. While education is the pri mary purpose of the school first consideration is given to the restoration of sight and conser vation of vision. By 1949 Dr. Dry came to the conclusion that "the best way to teach the child - would be to teach the parent how to help the child." This proved, to be a large project and since the funds, like those of the public schools are intended for the chil dren of school age, Mr. Dry, a Lion's club " member, turned to the auxiliary of downtown Sa lem for help. ; The first Oregon institute for parents of preschool blind chil dren was held that summer on the Oregon State school cam pus. Twenty-three mothers, six fathers, and twenty-six visually handicapped children were en rolled. For a week they lived on the campus and the parents at tended lectures and demonstra tions while the children were cared for by "baby sitters." The "baby sitters" were mem bers of the auxiliary to the Sa lem Lions club and other Lions auxiliaries in the area. In 1950 the state Lions club auxiliary adopted this as their major pro ject and each summer since, a similar institute has been held. The sixth institute in 1954 was attended by 51 mothers, 21 fath ers arid 63 children. A total of 213 auxiliary members from 24 clubs volunteered as "baby sit ters." The mothers of the blind children are informed that when they go to the institute that the auxiliary members who give their time will care for the chil dren. Without the financial support of the Lions auxiliaries through out the state and the personal interest on the part of the indi vidual members the institutes could not be held the officers explain. Money sent to the school cov ers numerous items and services which otherwise could not be available. introducing Mrs. Phyllis Dellaplain our new Beauty Salon manager AND TINTING specialty Salon Sunday, March 6. 1955 Lecturer-Author To Speak in City Friday Evening Bertita Harding, who will lec ture for Rogue Valley Knife and Fork club, Friday, March 11, is the author of several books.
