FOR PREVENTION OF BLINDNESS
 
Wonderful Progress Made by the National Committee in That
 Direction.
WORK IN PUBLIC SCHOOLS
Conservation of Vision Glasses Crow Ing in Number as Educators Dis- cover 1t ls Practicable to Open
 Glasses in Small CitleS

New York.-More than 4,000 SUD. porters of the work Of the National Committee for the Prevention Qf Blindness were reported at the sixth annual meeting In this city. This re. port shows remarkable increase from the 65 charter members In 1916. The work for the last year showed much progress for the conservatiOH of vision in the public schools and cot~ leges.
 The report continues;
 Conservation of vision classes i'm the public schools are growing in number as educators have discovered, through the efforts of our committee, that 1t is practicable to open such classes even in cities smaller than the largest. The present census Of such classes is 62, of which 12 have been established within the last year. So far as known, the classes which now support such classes include nlt. nois, Massachusetts, Michigan, Mime. seta, New York, Ohio, Pennsylvania and Washington. There is no mora
 
 and we are proud to have contributed considerable part 10 the establish. ment of these classes.
 Blindness in Children.
 "The chief cause of blindness among children is due to ophthalmia noeonatorum. The percentage thia year is 22.5 per cent as compared with 15.7 per cent for last year Of those who have newly entered tho residential schools. This disease Is an inflammation. of the eye usually contracted by newly born children, The percentage is even higher In the public classes. We have reason to res gret this unfortunate relapse. This is the first year but one that bas nos shown a considerable decrease, but wei are quite sure that our figures arc more accurate than in the years gone by, and possibly some of this increase Is due to the greater accuracy Of our reports. We must faithfully and per. sistently pursue our fight against : babies sore eyes and continue to re- 1 duce the number of children who need not have been blind.

Most railroad shares were unusually
heavy yesterday and particularly Wig

Pennsylvania. both of which declined
very sharply. The situation with re-
spect to the railroad stocks has caused
considerable comment in Wall Street
because. Notwithstanding q greatly i'm
proved sentiment with respect to the
market as a whole during the last few
weeks, the railroad stocks have SHOWN
only slight disposition to Improve. A
reason advanced for theif failure to
move Is that several specrtators for the
rise in rails, who have been holding
their stocks for weeks on advice OF
scores OF commission houses and market
experts, who predicted a good market
In that department. became impatient
when they saw Industrial and specially

let their holdings go. St. Paul COM

while st. Paul preferred stock siumped

Texas Company shares displayed con-
spicuous strength yesterday and even
in the sharp reaction of the last half
hour did not lose all their gains. Buy
ing Of them was given considerable
impetus by a story from Chicago that
plan for distribution to the conpanys 8
stockholders OF its $4.oo0.0o0 sulphur
properties was under consideration. 1t
was said that meeting of its directors
would be held here next week to take
up the proposal and 1t was suggested
that new company would be formed
to take over the sulphur properties, the
stock Of the new company to be given
Texas stockholders as dividend. At
the company's local offices it was said
that nothing regarding the Chicago
story was known, but It was admitted
that A. L. Beatty, president OF the COM
pany, was in that city. Several months
ago It was rumored that a move OF that
sort was being considered and at that
time Texas officials said such a step
might be taken at some future date.
