"Touching your article on class dis
tinction in this orning's paper, let
me relate a little personal experience
Of recent date" writes a letter friend.
Entering a department store I in
quired of the floorwalker at which
counter I might find underwear. He
took me to fellow employee and
said, This man wants to buy such
and such an article to which the
employee replied, That is not in my
department, but come with me and
I will take you to a gentleman who
will attend to YOU
please note the fine distinction be-
tween man (the customer) and gen.
tleman (the clerk). Moreover, this
is not an isolated case. 1t constantly
happens in one way or another. OF
course the matter is Of no earthly
consequence. Calling a fellow en-
ployee a gentleman does not make
him one unless he happens to be one
by nature. Nor does the application
of the supposedly less complimentary
term man, to the customer in any
way detract from mis- true status. But
it would be interesting to hear on
what grounds and for what reasons
the distinction is made. Let US know
how these fine drawn distinctions are
to be adjusted"
My letter friend is apparently
piqued at being referred to as a man
instead Of a gentleman.

WHAT BAD EYES MAY MEAN.

Many people think but little Of the
consequences Of had eyes. unless blind
ness. or very sore eyes are threatened
or present. Such conditions are ter
rible, but they do not threaten the peo-
pie or state al much as other eye dis
eases that are not apparently pitiable
People who are blind or whose eyes
are hopelessly diseased are usually TAX
en- care of in institutions and do not
become a menace to the public. But
school children whose eyes look all
right, but who have certain diseases or
defects that render study and educa-
ton a hardship. may become danger
to other people. A school child, born
with an undetected cataract. or very
near sighted. 50 that he cannot see the
blackboard. soon falls behind his class
and becomes discouraged with his
school life. A child with far sight or
astigmatism, or some muscular defect
of the eyes. by which. when he studies
his eyes pain and he suffers from
headache will contract a dislike for
books, study and education, and will
perhaps be punished or kept after
school for something for which he is
really not to blame? Such children,
their educational progress embarrassed
or almost stopped by reason OF uncor-
rected physical defects, soon acquire a
1oathing for education and all that edu-
cation represents, and, the seeds OF
idleness and responsibility being
sown, may develop into criminals and
dependents. No fight of fancy Is re-

follow. This is no fancy picture. 1t can

Of criminals, however, are not born Of
tenders. but become so through asso-
Citations and lack of a cultivating and
ennobling education. which is, of
course. practically impossible if bad
eyes or other defects prevent suitable
education. Education is one Of the
greatest barriers to crime and poverty.
It is therefore essential. as the Journal
of the American Medical Association
urges, that our children, the coming
generation, should be well educated,
and that bad eyes. or any other physi-
cal or mental defects, should be de-
tected and corrected, in order that the
requirement of an education may be-
come as easy and agreeable as possible.
