THE NATIONAL SIN

When asked what he considered
'the besetting sin in American life,
James B. Forgan, retiring president of
the First National Bank of Chicago,
said without moments hesitation,
Extravagance. Young people are
quite generally inclined to live beyond
their income. They seem to make no
effort to save. They are always hop
ing that some day, some how, they
will make big money by some lucky
coup. That is false philosophy. They
live too much by the code of the
gambler"
We are inclined to look with much
respect upon the views of Mr.. For
gan, for he worked up from minor
clerkship in a London bank to the
presidency of two of the greatest
banks in America, and he believes in
luck which, he says, "will mean moth
ing to any one unless he be prepared
for the lucky turn in his fortune.
What success | have had,' said Mr..
Forgan, Il attribute to hard work, the
conscientious performance OF my
duty and to the fact that | always

BACKWARD CHILDREN

Last year" said DR.. Richards, ad
dressing the society of medical jpris
prudence, ct New York, the New
York city department of education
spent almost $3,000,0O0 on the re-edu-
cation of backward and deficient chill
dren. A very much smaller sum ex-
pended on the physical health of these
children would have saved four-ffths
of the outlay.
A surprising amount of backward
ness among school children is due to
poor eyesight that can be corrected
easily, according to DR.. Richards. Out
OF thirty-two children referred to him
and treated for eye troubles alone,
fortyfive per cent of the ungraded
children were able to enter regular
classes at the end OF six months, and
delinquents were able to become
some of the best pupils in school. One
of the most surprising statements of
DR.. Richards was to the effect that
sixty per cent of the blind children
enrolled in New York's public schools
can be fitted with glasses which will
restore their vision to such an extent
that once they have mastered the al
phabet they will be able to read news
paper print
Possibly some seemingly stupid
children, some of whom may grow up
to be really stupid men and women,
would be bright enough if not hand
icapped by poor sight, or lack of ar
tificial aid to poor sight.
