WEALTH
Col. John B. Miller, for many
years a leader in hydro-electric de­
velopment in the Southwest, is op­
timistic about power and irrigation
expansion of a great wasting water-
flow.
“The Colorado river,” said Mr.
Miller, “is second in the United
States in potential waterpower, its
possible development being 4,500,-
000 horse power. The annual in­
crease in consumption of electricity
in Southern California is 60,000
horse power. To keep up with this
increased consumption costs $15,-
000,000 a year, but it adds about
$300,000,000 to the community
wealth. We have sources, aside
from the Colorado, to keep up with
this increase for from ten to fifteen
years. The Colorado project can
best be handled in units of 200,000
horse power, costing about $60,000,-
000 each, and requiring two or three
years for construction. This would
mean spending at just about the rate
the Southern California Edison com­
pany has been spending.”
DEFECTIVE VISION IN PUBLIC
SCHOOLS
For the past decade we have de­
voted more attention to the im-
pro ement of the standards of Amer­
ica- education than ever before in
our history. The records of our state
legislatures and assemblies disclose
a multitude of acts relative to the
public schools of the nation, each
beneficial to some phase of our ex­
tensive educational system. Yet,
with all our advancement, we have
proven lax in a more or less large
degree by not attacking, with any
pronounced or concentrated vigor, a
fundamental factor shown by inves
tigation to be a distinct menace
against the health and proper devel­
opment of our school children. This
is the prevalence of poor eye sight
among the pupils o f the public
schools.
The existence of defective vision
in the child in our grade or high
schools is a challenge to our pre­
sumed interest in the welfare of the
country. When the percentage of
these eye defects is shown to ap­
proximate one-fourth of our total
school population, the challenge be­
comes an indictment. Where is our
vaunted civilization if we permit
this appalling condition to continue
unchecked? How can we boast of
an educational system which will
permit a quarter of its scholars to
blunder half-blind through the
grades, handicapped at the very be­
ginning of life by an Inability to see
clearly?
It is a condition which should
arouse the gravest concern. Not
more than a month or two ago we
learned from the Hoover committee
on elimination of waste in industry
that more than 50 per cent of our
industrial workers are suffering
from poor eye-sight. Now we dis­
cover that the same ailment affects
25 per cent of our school children.
The inference is plain. Aside from
our moral responsibility In the wel­
fare of American childhood, we
should awaken to the real origin of
the economic menace of defective
vision in our industrial occupations.
How little we have realized our
national duty. Only nineteen states
have laws requiring eye tests in the
public schools. But three states have
legislation compelling the parent to
attend to the defects in the child’s
eyes. Five cities in the entire coun­
try have eye-clinics connected with
the public school system. Our con­
servation of vision classes number
but 62 in the whole nation. We
should be ashamed at thought of the
relatively slight acco'mplishments.
What we have done has been a mere
beginning. Before us the solution
lies evident-—extension of our com­
pulsory eye test legislation and of
our eye-clinics and conservation of
Vision classes, and broad develop­
ment of our system of poor eye-sight
detection. It must be universal, and
It must be pressed until defective
vision no longer can rear its men­
acing form against our national pro­
gress.
