Excerpt from The Present Position of the Blind as Compared With 1918

I referred above to the increased remuneration obtained by the employees, and I wish to say something on the vexed question of augmentation. You are aware that the Ministry have recommended a sliding scale of augmentation. Various systems have been in Operation, flat rate, percentage on earnings, minimum wages, as. Well as sliding scales. These other systems we felt did not take sufficient or fair account of the varying degrees of incapacity in blind workers, degrees which arise from the blindness itself, its extent, its cause, its time of incidence in life, etc. A sliding scale equalises these incapacities so far as possible, and lets each blind person then stand upon his own legs as a human being.
