STANDARD MERCHANDISE OF QUALITY "The Store With a Conscience" most eminent, ophthalmologists of the I'nited States. The report, co vering 60 nrlnted pages, will bo brought to the attention of every city, state and county superinten dent of schools. The Investigators found that during the year of this study up proximately 5.000.UUU school child ren received eye examinations and that an average of about 12 percent of these wore found to have de fective vision. This figure, says I lie report, suggests that consider able progress in eyesight conser vtion has been made In schools since previous studies and this pro gress has resulted in decreased percentages of eye defects. Mori Rural C-sosi Rural districts generally report ed u larger percent of defective vi sion than city districts. It seems likely, says the report, that this Is due to such differing factors us conditions under which the testa were obtained, bud lllumlnutlon In rural schools and homes, nnd the small number of corrections of vis ual defects provided for rural chil "The problem facing school ad ministrators today," declares this report, "Is to find effective means of removing the handicap of defec ttvn vision of one-eight h of the 2 4,- noti.OOU school children. This is im portant not only to secure greater efficiency in acquiring an educa tion, but to conserve vision lor greater helpfulness lu udull lite and in old age." The report, reveals that in only 17 stales is the examination of the eyes of school children compulsory that In H other slates it is merely permissive, and that of the 17 stat es redUiring eye examinations very few specify the portion of school population to be examined or the rrec,uency with which such exam-! Inutlons should be mude. Itcx-ommendntions Recommendatlona .In the report rollow: As It Is likely that teachers, nur ses und other non-medical school examiners will make many of the eye Inspections for some time to come, it Is most desirable that Iho school personnel be carefully in structed in the best methods of conserving sight. The eyes of all pupils should be examined yearly under the best possible conditions by the most skilled persons available. Every teacher should he trained to report to the heulth division of the schools uny abnormal eye con dition which may be discovered. There is need for a uniform mo del law for the examination of the eyes of school children in all slules und titles of the I'nited States. Greater emphasis must be plac ed on conserving children's vision, especially from the standpoint of finding and correcting the fauity (conditions of vision, providing pro perly lighted class and work rooms making special provision through conservation of vision clusess for those huvlng seriously defective eyesight. While the care of the physical well-being of the child as far us his school life is concerned, Is a duty which devolves upon tch ers. nurses, school physicians, and other school personnel, this fact Is In no sense to Imply that parents are to be relieved of their duties.
