MUCH BLINDNESS

Proper Workshop Conditions
of Importance.

st. Louis.-"Half of all blindness is
preventable," declared DIR. Park Lewis,
eminent ophthalmologist of Buffalo,

tional Committee for the Prevention
of Blindness, in an address before the
chamber of commerce here. This is

important reductions in both the fire.
quency and severity of some of the
principal causes of blindness resulting
from the organized and nationwide
campaign for the prevention Of blind
ness which is now in its eleventh year.
The total amount of blindness and half
sight, however, is growing proper
tiOnately less"
Speaking on the economic necessity
for conservation of vision, Doctor Lew
is pointed out that the cost of edu-
eating blind child is at least ten
times that of educating normal-sight-
ed child. AS further evidence Of the
heavy cost to industry resulting from
accidents and diseases affecting the
eyes, he declared that in New York
state alone close to 100000 is paid
as compensation for eye injuries In a
year and that almost an equal amount
is paid by the employers Of Pennsyl-
vania each year.
I'm considering the economic phase
of the subject" Doctor Lewis said, 1--WE
are not thinking Of the frightful loss
to the man in the moral suffering
which he incurs, in. the dependency
which necessarily follows from the
loss Of his own self-efficiency, neither
are we considering that long line of
related losses which enter into the
question.
There is not loss suffered by any
individual member Of a community"
Doctor Lewis added, "that is not in
some degree shared by every other
member. think, then, that it would be
agreed that in industry today, it is a
matter only of forethought and bust
ness acumen to so plan each factory
and workshop that the greatest re-
turns are produced with minimum of
loss, that the most serious loss that
can be sustained is the irreparable in

in the shop, the workman, that the av-
erage workman is apt to be careless
Of his own interests and he needs to
be guided in preserving them. that the
loss when sustained is triple one
first and most serious to the man him
self who is thereby handicapped for
the remainder of his life, and who, if
he works, must thereafter work at re-
duced pay; second, to the employer
who has to pay the price either
through insurance or otherwise or he

They gave him the $250,000 a
