Giving Sight To The Blind

One of the results of the recent visit of the legislature to this city is a great happiness brought into one life. For a number of years Miss Keene has been a conductress at the School for the Blind at Lansing. She has been blind for a great many years and no hope was entertained that she would be-able to see. She is refiDed and of a happy disposition and had many friends, so that when the legislature visited Ann Arbor, one of the lady attachees of the legislature brought Miss Keene with her to give her something of a change f rom her rather monotonous duties. While here, Dr. Carrow expressed the belief that by submitting to an operation she could regain her eyesight. She was much averse to this, as with one eye she could distinguish between light and darkuess, although not able to distinguish objects with it. Finally she determined to permit au operation on the other eye and returned to this city. The operation was so successf ui that she was able to distinguish large letters with it. She then permitted an operation on the other eye and is now able ta see readily. She returned to Lansing, Monday, with Eepresentative Mills, a íiappy woman, loud in her praise of Dr. Carrow for causing the blind to see. This is one example of the good caused by maintaining professional schools at the University.
