INSISTS TOO MANY
 WEARING GLASSES
Expert Says Statements Of De-
 iectiVe Eyes Are Exaggerated
By The Associated Press.

By The Associated Press.
 Detroit, Oct. 20, - Exaggerated d
 statements concerning the amount of
 defective vision among school chil-
 dren are being made continually
 with the more or less concealed mo- tive of alarming people into obtain ing spectacles, declared Lewis H. Carris, managing director of the na- tional committee for the prevention of blindness, in an address before the annual meeting of the American Public Health association here to- day.
 "An impression that the nation is rapidly going blind or that over half of our school children need to wear glasses Is so obviously an exaggera- tion, declared Mir Carrls, that the true condition of affairs is lost sight of, namely, that approximately one- eighth of the children in our schools are suffering from eye diseases or visual defects, many of which may be removed by properly fitted glasses or by medical attention"
 MT. Carris pointed out that al- though estimates have placed the extent of defective vision among school children as high as 60 per cent, nationwide investigation which has been conducted by the national committee for the preven- ton of blindness during the last year indicates that for the country at large an average of only 12.1 per cent of school children have defec- tive vision.
 There can be little question" Mir. Carris said, that the eyes of most children reported as having normal vision have some slight degree of ocular defect; but physical vigor and general health tone enable the child to have standard vision in spite of eye imperfections. Until there is some more uniform pro- cedure throughout the country in giving examinations, this percentage must he accepted as a fair indica- ton of the size of the problem which defective vision presents to school authorities"

REV. H. W. MAIER ON
 MANS ANABASIS
Human Beings Should Strive for
 Perfection, He Says

Scientists say man is the only
 animal that tries to improve him
 self,' said Rev. Henry w. Maier in his serman on "A Useful Life" at
 the First Congregational church yes-
 terday morning. This was the first
 in a series Of Sermons lasting
 throughout the winter. based on the
 subject bf rebuilding life and society.
 Man is the only animal capable
 Of trying 10 make himself better, al- though at times we think we are not trying very hard" he declared. He said there are two general ways of considering means for this improve ment one is by fitting life into its environment, so as 10 get the most out Of 1t. This would be to change life and its activities to meet the demands of nature. The other method, he said, would be to change the environment so that it would seem new. He cited as one example of this possibility that of mnglng in social intercourse by means of lodges, friendships, etc.
 He said the divine plan for re- building life and environment to higher attainment is told in the Sermon on the Mount. He said Christ had faith that man would im- prove under the right leadership and that for man to rebuild his life it was necessary for him to know what material he had on hand 70 work with.
 He spoke of man as ~ombina- ton of physical appetites, mental activities and spiritual possibilities. The physical is the apparent and can be seen while the mental is classified under what can be seen, heard, felt and smelt, and out of these are drawn plans for lifc's outlook.
 The spiritual possibilities he ex- plained, comprised the possibility of using physical and mental forces towards q good end. the possibility of having the good. the pure, the true dominant in mental activities. The higher development in life" These he said were the fundamentals to- wards a higher plane in society.
 Referring to the criticism that despite the lives of Confucious. Buddha, Mohammed and Jesus, not a great deal of progress has been made, he said this is answared by the fact that it is impossible to deny the inner belief and urge, it is i'm possible to convince a human being that it is not possible to do improve and the fact that when one effort fails humanity immediately rises to another.
 He said, Man believes it can be done and works on it." God believes it can be done. Jesus often was dis couraged but he had faith that 1t could be done and laid out a plan for changing human nature. Jesus set no limit he set an aim. Make 1t perfect
 The minister laid down a set of rules whereby a man might try to make himself as nearly perfect as possible. He said men should aim at | perfection, and be Fundamentally | Live progressive life, 1 live peaceful life, live a pure life, live a truthful life, live large life, live a Charitable life. live a prayerful | life, live self-effacng life, live free from gold, from care, from sen- suousness, from double mindedness, 1 live for the best in you. for the best 1 in others and live vitally with Jesus"
