British Colonies.
In the Dominion of Canada, South Africa, the states of the Australian
Commonwealth and New Zealand, provision is made by the government for
the education of the young blind, and in some cases for training the
adults in handicrafts. Embossed literature is carried free of expense,
and on the Victorian railways no charge is made for the guide who
accompanies a blind person.
