School Children's

IAI HEN the end of the
. MI present school term
sf comes many parents
- will be disappointed at
" the poor progress their
W children have made.
But, in many such
cases, this apparent backward
ness will be from no fault of
the youngsters themselves. In
numerous instances it will be
because of defective, but neg
lected eyes.
Of course, parents are not
purposely negligent. They sim
ply fail to notice the signs of
failing sight.
Because children themselves
do not realize the Importance
of this matter, parents should
be doubly watchful.
At the slightest sign of eye
trouble, the Oculist-the physi-
clan who sp~ecializes in eye
treatment-should be consulted.
Glasses will be prescribed on
ly when they are necessary, in
which event we can fill the pre-
scription with perfect accuracy.
