LOC: Bain's caption renders the name as "A. Bailly-Blanchard".
Richard Norton said:
I started a biography of him for Wikipedia: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Arthur Bailly-Blanchard The spelling "Arthur Bailly-Blanchard" gets the most hits in Google.
Ryan (LOC P&P) said:
It appears that the Bain caption has the correct spelling: Bailly-Blanchard, which is also how it is spelled on the website Political Graveyard. The New York Times article noting his death in 1925 spells the name: Bai!ly-Blanchard in the headline. One more source would confirm for the change to the caption. Thanks so much.
Ryan (LOC P&P) said:
Good enough for me. Thanks Richard Arthur Norton, we'll correct the spelling of the name in the caption the next time we update the record.

EDUCATION. Modern aids in the shape of 16-m.m. film projectors have been in operation at Cherbourg and Palm Island schools for some years and, realising the value of visual education, particularly in the case of aboriginal children, who readily absorb learning by sight, it is intended to equip all schools with machines of this type. Already arrangements are in hand to provide a machine for Woorabinda school. The films, which are obtained through the Department of Education Library, are apart from general school subjects, geographical, industrial, horticultural, pastoral, agricultural and depict bird and animal life. Apart from their educational value, they are the means of giving the native children an insight of the activities proceeding in the outside world. Manual Training and Domestic Science.— Under the manual training scheme, boys of the senior grades receive tuition in cabinet-making, carpentry, plumbing, tinsmithing, saddlery, while the older girls are taught cooking, sewing, and general domestic science. In 1949 at Mornington Island there were 104 Aboriginal children enrolled in education: 55 girls and 49 boys.
