      Photo caption from published version of 52-3701_001: "SUCCESS THROUGH HELP - With help, life of the sightless can be happy and full. This is accomplished in one way at Huronia Hall by teaching the blind useful arts. John Laronde of Toronto is showing Miss Isabelle Thompson how to use a loom."

      General note

      Photo caption from published version of 52-3701_002: "NIMBLE FINGERS - Basket weaving is one of the most popular crafts taught at the hall. Mrs. Leonard Welch comes from New Hambug every week to take part in the classes."

      General note

      Photo caption from published version of 52-3701_004 and 52-3702_001: "HANDICRAFTS IMPORTANT - Learning to use your hands to do things your eyes used to do is a great accomplishment, yet in the craft classes the blind regularly learn new handicrafts. Miss Susan Prittie (left) [52-3702_001] is reading Braille to Archie Blue who is writing it on a Braille typewriter. T. R. Waugh (right) [52-3701_004] has become an expert at caning chairs, a job which is no mean feat for someone with sight."
