Progress in science of optometry

"our meeting the past week here In
Birmingham was much enjoyed and was
highly beneficial" said James ii. finder.
former president of the optical associa-
ton of Alabama
There has been great progress made in
the practical and scientific features of
optometry. optometry defines the sci
entific measurement and testing OF eyes
for discovering the causes for imperfect
vision. An optom-etrist $50 pponouneed)
tests and makes a prescription for suit
able lenses to correct the defects of the
eye; an optican does the mechanical
work, strictly speaking. An occulist per-
forms surgery and prescribes for eye
troubles. These prescriptions are carried
to the druggist, or the optician, as the
case may require.
II. ]. Cooks address before our meet
ing on Dynamic skametry' was very
fine. This term applies to the testing Of
the eye while the muscular forces are in
use. The static system, which will be
entirely suspended, relates to- the use of
atropine and belladonna and was much
In use before the valuable discovery Of
dynamic skiametry by A. j. Cross OF
New York, great relief to those af-
flicted with eye troubles. The practical
operation of sklametry Is the reflection Of
light into the eye with mirror BY this
means retroactive errors, astigmatism and
other defects are brought into evidence
and imperfect focus corrected.
" Light and Photomery' by John L..
Moore was scientific paper describing
the latest and best methods Of meas
uring lght-a force which travels in
straight line; that is as to whether this
force entering the eye does so with har-
mony, producing perfect sight, unless
ohstructed by imperfect shape in the eye
If there are any malformations they can
be discovered, measured and neptralized,
by properly ground lenses. These lines of
light. so projected into the eye, when
Illustrated or broken in the varying
meridians, indicate imperfect construction
of the eye, or other affections, among
them astigmatism. This mechanical dag
nosis ofeeye defects has been of in
estimable value in the treatment Of de-
fective vision.p
James II. finder was elected a dele
gate to the annual meeting of the Ameri-
can Optical association in Chicago to be
held in August. He has also been invited
to deliver an address before the Georgia
state optical association July "a His sub
ject will be Psychology In Optometry.

Politics and stock Market

Henry Clews. in his Saturday review.
says in part:
passed on the stock exchange. There is,
however a much better undertone in
course of development, and II nothing
interferes the outlook is for improvement
generally in the business situation.
Politics has now safely passed one of
the most critical stages. Rampant radi-
calism has met with a necessary set
back. 1t has been shown that neither
party can afford to take the chances of
nominating an extremely radical candidate.
