Wrongfully
Blamed
Children aro often blamed for not
getting along with their lesrons, when
the real fault Is with their eyes, al
though unsuspected by cither parent
or teacher.
If children need glasses It Is cruel
ty not to have them; if tiicy don't
need them tho fact should be known,
A scientific examination will re
move all doubt.
