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. Man is the only living

! 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.
