TICKET BUREAUX FOR . THE BLIND. [To Tillt EDITOR OF THE
“SPECTAT04.”] Sia,—You will be pleased to bear that the letter from Miss Holt which you inserted in the Spectator of October 27th, 1906, is producing very good results here. I allude to her letter on "Ticket Bureaux for the Blind." I showed it .to Mr. William Barde, the honorary 'secretary for the Association Suisse pour le Bien des Aveugles (9 rue des Granges, Geneva), and it ended by the Committee's putting itself in touch with the Societe de l'Art Social,—a society for giving poor people
good concerts at a cheap rate. Mr. Bards says We made an arrangement with the Art Social, and now we are regularly informed of every performance they are organising. At the grand concert they gave at the Victoria Hall on Monday last we sent twelve of our people ; they seem to have enjoyed themselves very much, and next time we shall try to get more tickets." I shall be so glad if you think it worth while to insert this letter in your paper as an encouragement to others to follow in Miss Holt's footsteps, and I for one am very grateful to you for having put hers in.—I am, Sir, &c.,
H. J. EWER.
9 rue Pierre Patio, Geneva, Switzerland.
