trouble" Miss Lawrence explained.
'This form of defective vision is often
outgrown if during The shortsighted
period eye strain is prevented by suit
able corrective glasses. That our So
ciety cannot adequately cope with the
difficulty is shown by the fact that
two-thirds of the children known to
have vision defects come up year after
year for examination by the county
council oculist in worse condition
than in the previous year.
"The frightful condition of the school
children's teeth (recently only Of 245
examined were found to have sound
teeth) is due to apathy and lack of
treatment facilities. In the case of the
eyes there is great demand for treat
ment, but there are no adequate facili-
ties. The existing hospitals are alto
gether unable to meet this demand.
After the first school examinations by
the London county council oculist the
hospital eye departments were flooded
by the numbers of children attending
from the London schools. In many
cases the hospitals wrote begging that
no more cases be sent
Of ninety-seven children from one
district reported by the county council
oculist as having defective vision only
twenty-three now have glasses, owing
to the difficulty in obtaining them. A
joint committee of the London county
council and representatives of the Lon
don hospitals is now considering what
can be done to lessen this difficulty.
Last year Of 1000 children examined
more than per cent were found to
have serious ear troubles, which de-
manded constant medical treatment.
The neglect of these cases, Miss Law
renee pointed out, often results in total
deafness, one-quarter of the number
of deaf children in the county council
schools for the deaf having lost their
hearing through the neglect Of ear trou-
BILE which was at one time durable.
AS point of economics Miss Law
renee mentioned that the children in
the deaf schools each cost the rates
about $115 a year, compared with $40
or $25 for normal child.

TEETH AND EYES

nj o FEWER than 10000 children in
the London elementary schools
are found yearly to have defect
i've vision. The efforts at present be-
ing made TO remedy this state of affairs
were explained recently by Miss Susan
A. Lawrence, a member of the educa-
ton committee Of the London county
council and honorable secretary of the
Association for Supplying Spectacles
to Children in London Elementary
Schools. This association in 1907 en-
ebled 1000 children to obtain spectacles
either by advancing the money, to be
repaid week by week, or, in extreme
cases of poverty, by free grants. Large
ly through the example and efforts of
the society the hospitals throughout
London have reduced the price of spec
tacles by half.

MOTHER AND TEACHER

:" HATEVER fault may be found
wv with the present public school
systems of the country, there is
one phase of the modern educational
work which is decidedly encouraging.
The constantly growing tendency for
mothers and teachers to cooperate
in the work of the school must be
looked upon as a distinct advance. The
organization of so many mothers
clubs, the members of which have but
the one common tie, that of the school
Which their children attend, means
much for the sympathetic understand
ing of teachers by mothers and of the
mothers point of view, by the teachers.
This in turn cannot but work out
greatly to the advantage of the child.
If there is mothers club connected
with the school which you attend, by
all means persuade your mother to
join it. You can help both teacher and
pupil in SO doing.
But, mothers of all the Juniors, if
there isn't, cooperate anyhow. You
don't have to belong to a club to work
intelligently with the teacher instead
of heing deaf and blind to what she is
trying to do. If you can't do anything
else, you can at least take some inter-
est in the reports your child brings
home.
Don't praise your child's beauty or
his clothes in his presence. 1t may
make him vain; but when he comes
rushing home with good report card,
it won't hurt to praise him generously.
one mother baked a huge cookie in the
shape Of little girl to celebrate her
little daughters promotion into a
higher grade. Would you take the
trouble to do a simple, inexpensive
thing like that il your little boy or girl
had done extra well at school?

THE WoNDRous SHIP

BY EDITH s. UPDEGRAFF.
Madeline, if ever we
Are grown as big as folks can be,
I'll build great big ship for YOU
And we viii sail the whole world through
Well see the little Japanese
A-swinging on their bamboo trees.
Just as we've often watched them do
On Aunt Jemima's bowls Of blue
And then to southern lands We'll go
Where oranges and lemons grow,
And there are ships with purple sails,
And monkeys swinging by their tails,
But best of all, I think, twill be
To see the Lands of Faery;
Perhaps a knight or sweet princess
That We may free from some distress,
And living happy as can be
In golden castles by the sea-
With not a thing to do all day
But feast and sing and dance and play
l wonder why more folks don't go
To find those lands they talk of so?
Perhaps they think the dragons might
Come back to life and claw and bite
But anyway Wen make the trip
In my big, flying, white-sailed ship;
And you will be my little queen,
And rule me-won't you. Madeline?
Youths Companion.

RESUMING SCHOOL


:" CIV many of you feel like the little
girl after her first day in school?
- She said she liked to go to school,
and she liked all her lessons, but the
one she liked best was the one the
teacher called recess.
Can it be that any Of the Juniors are
feeling that way this morning. Do any
of you like to go~to school, but the part
of school you like best is holidays?
We all know that all work and no
play would make the Jacks and Jills
hand, all play and no work would make
us all worse than dull, it would make
US practically know-nothings.
Christmas week played sad havoc
with the Junior. The boys and
girls were altogether too busy prepar-
ing for Santa Claus to have much time
left to write their Junior letters. I
missed some of the firmest supporters
of these columns. 1t really was quite
a disappointment to have you all for
get Aunt Laurie so easily, but the let
tiers which have been coming in this
week show that suffered only par
tial eclipse in your memory.
Now that the holidays are over, every
one of US will pay close attention TO
the topics, linericks and short stories
of the Herald Junior.
When 1 chose the topic for this week s
letters 1 felt sure that each one of the
nieces and nephews would have some
interesting event to relate about the
first day or week at school. You know
am always eager to hear about what
ever interests the boys and girls.
1 wish that more of you would come
to see me. 1 am hardly ever too busy
to stop and chat a few minutes and
like to know personally the boys and
girls who write to me. Especially
want to urge every one of the out-of-
town Juniors to come and see me when
ever they are in Los Angeles.
Perhaps next spring when the weather
becomes more settled I shall make a
few visits through the country, and
thus have an opportunity to visit some
of the boys and girls with whom l al
ready feel acquainted owing to their
frequent ana interesting l0Cl6IS.
How many of the Junior writer's think
of some topic occasionally upon which
they would like to write?
When you think of a subject which
is a pretty good one send it in to me.
1 shall be glad to have suggestions in
this respect from each one of you and
from your teachers.
Now let US have plenty of letters
about the first day at school. Perhaps
some of you had small brothers or sis
tiers who will make their first appear
ance at school this week.
There is sure to be some funny story
to tell about such an event as that, and
it may be that there was a new teacher,
or some other item of interest which
you can tell about your own class
room. If not that there will be hosts
of things to write about the effort of
finding books, pencils and the various
impedimenta of school days, the new
friends one makes, new studies assumed
and plenty of other features of school
life. Affectionately,
AUNT LAURIE.

UNFINISHED STORY

MI eral days before New
Ah Years day and her father
and a mother and Jessie and lack
followed New Years eve. New
Years day grandma cooked a
great Dig dinner and the girls. of
course, ate great deal. After
dinner they went to the library.
where each curled up with books,
tor grandma had provided won
dertul lot of new fairy stories for
their entertainment, and they
were soon deep in these tales
Mary's story was unusually in
teresting, and she was soon lost
IN the land of Pixies, elves,
dwarfs and fairies.
This is what she read:
The little dwarf crept out OF
the ground. The rocks snapped
together behind him, but the lit
tie dwarf pulled up his toes
quickly SO that they did not get
pinched. I'm sure you are glad
about that. Then the little dwarf
stretched himself.
Il don't know if it's one hun
dred O'Clock, or one thousand
o'clock" he said, "but I've had a
long nap
He took three long leaps, each
of which carried him 528.611
inches. The last brought him 50
near the edge of the sea that an
other one-quarter of an inch
would have taken him into the
water. So he sat down on a big
tock and began to wonder wheth
er he should call his next meal
'supner" or "dinper."
Just then a little golden boat
with red silk sails came around
the corner, straight toward the
dwarf. The sailors were big bow
dolls in sailor suits, and on a real
golden throne sat a real live little
prince The prince landed and
stood looking at the dwarf with
his arms folded, a frown on his
face. The king, who was the
princes papa, looked just that
way~when the prince had done
something he shouldn't.
Give come to have tea with
you," he said.
II hadn't invited you," replied
the dwarf and turned his back.
Wasn't the dwarf rude?
Teg EN- emos reppus," said
the prince
The dwarf gave a squea1 that
sounded something like a cat
when you step on her tail, and
something like an automobile
that doesn't like to work. For
you see, if you want to make
dwarf do anything, tell it to him
backward, and he must, must,
must do it. And the prince had
found out the secret.
So the dwarf began to run back
and forth and up and down very
fast. First he took a handful Of
grains of sand and threw them
up into the air. They came down
a pile Of jam sandwiches. Then
he took two pebbles and blade
of grass and three drops of sea
water and stirred them together
in his hat to make some ice
cream cakes.
"Hoof, goof, roof, doof!!w he
cried Then he looked into his
hat again and found-a whole
family of little china cats.
So he leaped several times
more into the air and tried again.
"TIicky, iclSy, micky, sicky!!!'
he called.

experiences of the dwarf in preparing
