w. e. Small, of our city, leaves today for
the city of Philadelphia to take the final ex-
animation before the Philadelphia Optical
College, an institution which is recognized
as standing among the foremost colleges of
our land in all that pertains to the science
and practice of Optics Mr.. Small has been
fitting himself for this final examination for
a period of years, having taken intermediate
examination at other times. 1t is therefore
matter Of congratulation for both himself
and our city that he is thus able to fit him
self for the position of a thoroughly quail
fed Optician. The care and treatment of
the eye is becoming recognized as neces-
sity, and while in the past the practice has
been largely in the hands of unskiled and
unlearned men, yet the time is ripe when
none but fully qualified and skilled men
will be recognized as Opticians. Mr.. Small
will stand at the head of his profession on
his return from Philadelphia, and give us as
in the past the fullest satisfaction in treating
and fitting glasses to the eye. The degree
which he will take will give him the name
of DIR. of Refraction.
