with the medical treatment of children
who are sick much in the same way as
they have with the provision of meals
for those who are hungry maintaining
and apparently justly maintaining-that
their work is only with education, and
that all such matters as food, medical
treatment and clothing, however great
their urgency, are outside the limits of
their work, and must be undertaken by
other agencies. Admitting all this to the
full, we think with DR.. Oliver that the
question OF eyesight comes under a diff
ferent category, in that the defects of
vision, which tell so seriously upon the
future usefulness of these school chill
dren, are in many cases the direct pro-
duct of the education which they are by
law compelled to undergo. Admitting"
says DIR. oliver, that a certain degree
OF long -sightedness is the natural con-
dltion of the infants eye, and that this
Is corrected as development proceeds,
short-sightedness, on the other hand, is
not an hereditary defect, but one for
which school life is very largely II not
altogether responsible. Myopia is the bane
OF modern school life. In every country in
the civilized world the number of short
sighted people is increasing in proportion
TO the amount of eye work undertaken by
children In the schools" II this is to be
taken as a full presentment of the state
Of affairs II Is clear that the responsible
ity OF educational authorities in regard to
eye troubles stands on a very different
footing from that in regard to other dis

Brunswick, Ga, May IA delegation
of distinguished lawyers from throughout
the state are in Brunswick to-day and
evidence was taken in a matter which,
in all probability will establish an i'm
portant precedent. The case in question
grows out OF the old Camp Creek disas-
ter on the Southern Railway on June 49,
1900 In which Edwin H. Lawrence, a trav-
cling salesman, was killed. Mrs. Rosa H.

& Arnold and Hoke Smith, is asking for

Satterwhite, an employe of the Bruins
wick and Birmingham Railroad Company,
who was on the train at the time, was
taken before Commissioner d. w. Krauss
to-day, and was interesting in divers
ways. Messrs. Arnold and Hasting ap-
peared for plaintiff and Attorney Battle
was In charge of the Southern's interest.
The testimony of Satterwhite was not
deroga tory to either party at interest, and
while conflicting in its general texture,

the plaintiff.
This case Is of considerable Importance
