the signs or eye strain-the frowning brow. the
constant headache in school, the lassitude and
nervousness the stumbling reading and bad
spelling-and send notes, begging the parent TO
have the child's eyes examined and fitted. Very

He simply does not propose to have his child
wear glasses. Perhaps he does like the looks
