grateful. When the memory of the gilt

The Oldest boy in the class had
been called upon to read and had pro-
duced humiliation on the part of his
teacher, who was entertaining a WIS.,
itor. The boy bent over his book,
studying out the words one by one.
Smaller children read the lesson of

why, 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 ut
ter failure to copy problems or SEN
fences written on the board; Of his in
ability to learn. which came not from
lack Of tryino. but from what she had
termed "dumbness."
The teacher visited Toms father
and mother. After considerable per-
suasion they consented to take the boy
to an oculist. Tom was found to be
suffering from astigmatism, which
caused the words on a printed page to
double and dance before his eyes. A
pair OF glasses corrected the difficulty,
and Tom returned to school able to
see as well as any normal boy. He is
still handicapped by being two years
behind his grade, by painful lack of
self-confidence and by a reputation of
duliness. 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.
