An optometrist is one who is licensed
by law 10 examine the eyes and fit
glasses to them without the use of drops
or drugs. He does not treat diseases of
the eyes, but corrects errors in vision
An optician speclalizes in the making of
glasses, the lens, bows, etc, and does not
examine the eyes. He confines himself
TO the mechanical side Many OPP
1ometrists are opticians as we'll, fitting
the glasses TO the eyes and then making
them, In order to become an optometrist
or an optician you must pass the state
board examination. For the practice of
optometry two-year course and two

An Open Letter Parents Who Think They Are Acng Wsel
Why So Many Early and Unhappy Marriages Result
Where Daughters Are Boxed In

60 MANY letters have come TO me
~ OF late bewalling the fact that
fathers and mothers will not allow
daughters to go around with the boys
that one of the most important things
in the world for me at the present
moment seems TO be to write an open
letter to these parents.
hEAR Father and dear Mother-ln
- the first place, what can you be
thinking of? Don't you know that you
cannot close youth up tight in your
hand? Youth is not like that. 1t Is a
state of mind, and no Latter how
tightly you clasp your hand 1t will
slip out between your fingers The i'm

to keep her from going around with
boys. but to maxi her go with them
under your eyes and in the right way.
TNHE sort of boys your girl will
l. associate with, IL you do not let
her associate with any at ALL is the sort
she can meet OF the street corners.
Not my girl" perhaps you are saying.
Yes, everybody's girl. 1t is natural
for them to want to meet boys. and
parents do not realize the extent of
meeting them on the sly that goes on.
And the present Is bad enough, dear
knows. but the future you are paving
for your daughter is worse. This ro-
mancing at the street corners, all the
more attractive because done at stolen
minutes, leads in many cases to early
and utterly undesirable marriages and,
in fact. to the matrimonial miX.ups
and troubles that form lIrge part of
the worlds misery.
Parents have no one to blame but
themselves for this misfortune that
comes TO their children. 1t is as SEN
sible to blame a five.year-old child for
