AID TO PUPILS EYES
PLAN TO GIVE GLASSES TO NEW
YORK SCHOOL CHILDREN.

NEW YORK. March 2s.-The matter of
furnishing eyeglasses for the pupils of the
public schools came up again at the meet
ing of the board of education yesterday.
when the elementary schools committee re-
ported in favor of the proposition.
The report stated that 10000 children
in the schools were found to be suffering
from physical defects which prevented
them from reaping the full advantage of
the schools This could be done away
with by buying few thousand dollars
worth of eyeglasses. The report suggested
that board of health inspectors and outside
eye experts could be engaged to examine
all the children at thirty places in the city
where dark rooms could be fitted up 1t
would cost only 10000 to fit up these rooms:
eyeglasses could be bought Cor $4,000 and
there you are, with all the children In a
good condition to get the benefit of public
school education. After the first year the
renewal of the eyeglasses wouldn't cost the
city more than 5000 annually or there
abouts. the report said. 1t ended with a
resolution calling on the board of estimate
to supply the necessary money.

sition to supply the school children with

eyeglasses for them.
1T would be much better IL we bent our
efforts to doing away with part time classes
instead of branching out into these new
fandangoes. said Mr.. Delaney. There are
some 10000 or 10000 children on part time

Several nice questions as to inter

also discovered that the intent1on of
the two states had been to confer .turbs-

stream, but that the Iowa legislature
had failed to pass the necessary aNf.
So today South Dakota has 1Irisd!o-
