has been no serious effect upon our
business as yet but great inCon-

4BAD EYES MAKE BAD MEN"
This Is the Opinion Of Jurist Who Be
Ileves Defective Vision Often
Causes Moral Delinquency.

"Bad eyes make bad men," says
Judge William III. Wadhams, who
bases his belief upon observations ex-
tending over many years.
"The man who ca1not see straight
cannot think straight and cannot act
correctly" continued the Jurist, as
quoted in Case and Comment.
"When the nervous functions be-
come disarranged the morals also are
affected. One OF the first steps the
state should take In the correction OF
the criminals Is careful examination
and treatment OF their eyes. A very
large percentage of the men who ap-
pear before me for sentence are suffer
ing from defective eyesight, and at
tribute their moral delinquencies large
ly 10 this cause"
The effect OF ocular ailments upon
delinquency was considered by Or.
william Healy, director Of the Psyche
pathlc institute Juvenile court, Chica-
go, who states in his recent work,
THE Juvenile Delinquent"
'In our estimate OF causes OF de-
llnquency, II appeared that defective
vision could be regarded as either a
major or minor factor In over 10 per
cent OF the cases. Vision, 10 be sure,
was not perfect In many other In
stances. but in these II was hardly to
be regarded as any cause of the de-
linquency. There are several sides to
the resultant effects OF bad eyesight,
50 far as delinquency is concerned.
"Eye-straln notoriously leads to lr-
ritabIllty, discomfort. headache, various
feelings OF bodily discomfort-all Of
which may be contributory to the In
divlduals delinquency. Now eye-strain,
II should be remembered, is not always
TO be measured readily by what the
individual can see on test chart.
Defective vision may exist without
strain. and strain may result from not
readily dlscerned defects, such as as
tigmatism."
