UNIVERSITY OF WISCONSIN

MADISON. wis. Oct. 28.-sudy OF
the Yiddish language has been inau-
gurated by the University Of Wiscon-
sin, which probably is the first uni

comes from that language. The only
knowledge Of Hebrew necessary is an
acquaintance with the alphabet.
Seven persons are enrolled in the
first class. Not only will they learn
to read and write the language, but
they will make study OF the best
books written in that tongue and OF
the newspapers published in Yiddish.
Professor L. B. Wolfson is conducting

Five weeks after the marriage came
the trouble with the dog. After II
had bitten her son and daughter, said
Mrs. Sims, she announced that she
would kill the animal. Her husband

tom, you may read Tom, an
overgrown boy, two or three years old
er than the other children in his grade,
rose awkwardly and unsteadily to his
feet The teacher turned to her visitor
with shrug which expressed her utter
despair of Tom and of his ability to
read. She said in a whisper, Il think
he's just plain dumb. Tom has been in
this grade two years and he can't read
a bit better now than when he came in.
Listen to him." Tom was bent way
over his book peering at the print,
studying out the words one by one.
The teacher interrupted his hesitatiou5
recitation with a sharp-"That will do,
sit down"
Then she turned to the visitor with
resignation in her entire bearing
"What would you do with a hopeless
pupil like thatY' "Have his eyes ex-
amined," the answer came quickly"
why, I never had thought of that, !"
gasped the teacher, and then with the
thought came various recollectiOns of
Tom as he sat in his seat crouched
down over his book and her sharp ad-
monition to sit up straight; of his utter
failure to copy problems Or sentences
written on the board; Of his inability
to learn, which came not from lack Of
trying, but from what she had termed
"dumbness.
The teacher visited Toms father and
mother. After considerable persuasion
they consented to take the boy to an
oculist. Tom was found to be suffering
from astigmatism, which caused the
words on printed page to double and
dance before his eyes. A pair of glasses
corrected the difficulty and Tom re-
turned to school, now able to see as
we'll as any normal boy. He is still
handicapped by being two years be-
hind his grade, by painful lack Of
self confidence, and by reputation for
dizziness. However, all of these handi
caps are being rapidly overcome.
A child who needs glasses needs
them at once and not several years
later To wait until he has grown
older on the plea that he will break
his glasses or outgrOw them is to do
him an irreparable injury.
