Vision Of school Chlidren.


Dr.. W. p. Smith, the ocullst, who /, max
ing an examination OF the eyes Of public
school children, under authority Of the board
of education, gives some interesting facts
concorning the natp(e Of his work. He has
examined about ~ pairs OF yes-all OF the
more mature pupi,s at the NORTH Division
high school OF that 40 the doctor says not
more than 10 per cent. have perfectly nor.
NAL vision. Aboct four out of ten have
myopia in greater or less degree; about
three out Of ten have astigmata, ami among
the male pupils nearly the same proportion
are more or less color blind. In fully seven
cases out Of ten the doctor found that the
two eyes wero not aliks--that Ia, tho power
AMI axis OF VIII n Of one eye was greater or
diffeIe from the other Dr. Smith, how
ever. Is more astonished at the prevalence Of
color blindness He says that it is quite ILL
teresting TO note the efforts of the pupils to
determine the proper colors.
Color blindness Is detected by series OF
cards with peculiar letters printed In colors
A card which usually stamps the color blini
Ia q blue body with letter In two shades,
say yellow and rcd. Some Of the pupils call
the yellow shade green AMI cannot see the
red at all Otiers call the blue ground ye.-
low. In the latter case the colnr blindness Is
Of pronounced form. Among the girl pupils
color biininess b very rare. DIR. Smith has
found but two cases In the whole scheoI, and
these were only partially developed. One
test applied 10 the girls is to have them pick
out strands Of worstsi from parti-colorsi
bunch. All but two OF the pupils named
correctly the various coiors The two coGli
make out tho different shades Of red, but
when IL came 70 the delicate shades Of pink
and blue and yellow they got hopelessly
mixed DIR Smith says color blindnss 9
among women Is very rare; an eminent
German authority puts II one in 500.

CELEBRATION NOTES.

An Indian squaw gave birth TO a pap.
poose back OF Meffatt Il Bsasem's hard
ware store on Saturday.
The people Of northwestern Hand and
southwestern Faulk counties ceisbrated
near the Isnningn farm in the Bald noun

! Bosw, the grocer and Coquil,ette, the
dry goods map. spread Fourth of July
decorations over the front Of their stores
in tasty profusion.
The cane racket Was worked with con-
siderable succe 8.
The PRESS contributed in money and
work more to the success Of the celebra.
| ten than did eny OF the saloons or other
public places of business that reaped q
good harvest while the PRESS only receiv.
Cd one subscriber Others contributed In
| work and money still more who we're not
benefited, directly, a cent by the celsbrs-
tion. We do not speak of this boastfully
for it really only shows deplsrable lack
Of good judgment. However, fools will
some times learn by experience. fact we
shall endeayor to demonstrate when the
next Fourth of July comes around.
II is believed If Judge Payne should
run for office on the Winnebago rsserva-
| tion. he would be elected by an over
whelming majority. But Judge is out OF
politics and is devoting himself exclusive
Iy to tine practice Of law.
The Miller cornet band never gave such
satisfaction as they did last Saturday. The
band has improved wonderfully OF late.
The business places Of Childs & Young
and j. p, Cutting were handsomely dec
Grated in national colors Saturday and
we're great admired BY everybody.
The lemonade stands did great busi-
mss.
Some of our local sports took the In.
dian that beat Hoggstt on the 100 yard
foot race to Washington Monday, but fail
cd to find any suckers"
Our business men displayed commen-
dable enterprise by having barrels Of ice
water placed conveniently about their
places Of business.
At three o'clock Saturday morning there
we're borne to A. s. Risley and wife of
Florence township, bright. bouncing
pair OF boys. How is that for celebrat-
ing the countiy's natal day.
Judge Psyne's sorrel colt, a thorough
bred race horse, won the prizes at the 81.
Lawrence and washington celebrations.
This horse bids fair TO become q famous
runner. These races are the first it has
participated in.
Ed Egbert, deputy county treaf urer
won the pot in the shooting Match at st.
Lawrence on the 3rd.
The game Of ball between the wessipg-
ton and Turtle Greek clubs at st. Law
