are affected with eye defects, some Of
them serious. If the defects are cor
rected In Infancy and childhood the
sight may be made as near normal as
possible, but u allowed to 20 on un-

vision cannot be aided.
In 10000 cases Of the rejected In the

rejected because OF eye objections that
could have been corrected In childhood
Babies are often allowed 10 iie in

mitted 10 look straight into a bright

the delicate nerves OF the eyes While

that parents should know what the
