Rich French Couple Will Enter Convent Paris (U.R) The heads of one of France's oldest and richest families will take religious orders next month. Their friends say the Marquis Melehior de Vogue and his wife, Genevieve, decided many years ago they would enter a monas tery and convent once their children were established. The elderly couple's oldest son will be married on Friday. Vogue, 63, is an administrator of one of the richest banks in France, a member of the board of several important companies, and a world traveler who often performed economic missions for the French government. As a Benedictine monk, Vogue will work the abbey ground, as his tenants worked his own vast estates. His wife as a Sister of the Assumption will visit the poor and sick in sections of Paris her limousine never even went near in the past. Speaker Declares Vision, Intelligence Same Things A member of a United States research group contends that there isn't a single top-flight mathetician in this country who is city-born and bred. Dr. A. M. Skeffington, of St. Louis, Mo., a nationally famous optometrist and visual consult ant to the Optometric Extension Program, speaking at a graduate seminar for optometrists of the Southern Oregon area at the Rogue Valley Country Club, Tuesday, offered visual training ideas with documentations in bearing out the statement. He quoted Dr. Ward Halstead, of Chicago university, who states that "Vision and Intelligence are one and the same thing." "There is no picture in the back of the eye," says Dr. Skef fington. "The camera concept is all wrong. The impulses trans mitted by the nerves of the eye are identical with the impulses that are sent to the brain by all other nerves of the body. Can Be Prevented "Ocular defects such as near sightedness, far-sightedness, as tigmatism, etc., are the results of distortions in the visual process, and are not the cause of visual problems. All can be prevented, and all are subject to training." Dr. Skeffington sums up the situation in this way: "Vision and intelligence are one and the same thing. When we study vision, we study intelligence. Vision is a matter of gathering information. It is the result of experience. "The eye is a very effective gatherer of light densities. In the back cf the eye are nerves which record variations in the intensities of light and convey impulses to the brain. "Vision is a continuous learn ing process in which xne eye and the brain learn by experi ence.

FIRST IN RUBBER - FIRST ift TUDELESS creature who has the brain me chanism to do three thing: writing, reading and counting A1 the age of 15 weeks this learn ing process begins. A chimpan zee never gets that far.- It has iust as good visual acuity as man. It has good sight. Man has vision "If Vision is to be developed properly, a child must (L) learn a tactile pattern that is, learn to recognize by touch and handling; (2) learn word sym bols of the mother tongue; (2) recognize letters (writing); and (4) gain a concept of numbers demanded by our culture. The child must be carried through this sequence properly, or he will be warped educationally Pievenl Development "He may be warped in another way, through the distortions of physical surroundings or because of undesirable physical de mands. In our advanced tech nology, we have taken away from the individual child of the last two decades the necessity for doing many things which once were an integral part of each child's training. The mod ern child often cannot fasten buttons or tie shoe laces. Fre quently, he does not have any home chores that, in previous years, gave a child a well bal anced training in early life. All cf these things are a part of visual training. Blocks of re straints in our modern culture help warp children and prevent them from proper visual de velopment. " VLucky is the kid who has a backyard fence to climb There he learns balance and agility as well as many other things. The modern child is told "Don't, Don't, Don't all day long, The only way a child can learn is by doing something "Approximately 40 per cent of our college freshmen have fifth grade reading level. Most of this can be traced to visual problems and not to eye defects. The rea- son why mathematicians don't develop in cities is simple. The key to mathematics is two plus two equal four. A child must learn at an early age the proper concept of numbers as time and space a visual-spatial concept. If he just memorizes combina tions without actually getting the concept of time and space, he can never become a top-level mamematician. lie can pass some courses in arithmetic be cause he can learn much with out understanding why, but he could never pass a course in ad vanced mathematics "The optometrist of today is interested in the use of lenses to restore effective use of the total process. Vision is learngd, so it is trainable, visual training is demanded to enable the child and worker of today to meet the artificial tasks of our culture," concluded Dr. Skeffington.
