THE 100000 BACKWARD

There are 100000 retarded children in the
United States. The economic waste caused by their
backwardness mounts into millions Of dollars. But
what is important is the terrific, human loss
represented there.
Poor eyes and poor light are blamed for most of
this according to Guy A. Henry, director Of the Eye
sight Conservation Council of America. Neglected
eyesight is largely responsible for backward pupils
The average cost Of educating school child is
$6416 year. A conservative estimate of the pro-
portion of retardaton due to defective vision ind
Gates direct loss to the country of $1S0OO0d0O
nually.
That Is but a small part Of the total economic
and human loss when future inehiciency, lowered
earning and less competent service Of the in
dividual are considered. M II
twenty-five million workers have defective
vision. About $3O,oOOooo of the annual industrial
waste is charged directly to poor lighting.
Poor eyesght develops when children al
lowed to do close work under inadequate illumina-
ton. Eyestrain brings on fatigue and ineficiency.
Watch the eyes and the light. ,e

KIDS, REAL AND THEORETICAL
; By MRS. WALTER FERGUSON

A woman who does her housework and is the
mother of husky boy of three answered an adj,
vertisement regarding the rearing of children She
sent her money to obtain expert psychological
advice Upon how to get obedience from her son and
had, no doubt vision of ultimately possessing that
unknown thng-a perfectly good boy.
She confded to me afterward her horror on dis
covering that her child did respond all of these
theories that she was utterly ten aback when after
having followed directions;I found her infant as
stubborn as ever Furthermore she insisted that IL
she had done exactly these pamphlets advised her.
she would never have had time to do her breakfast
to discipline the child.
= Sometimes, after you have listened to learned
man lecture the psychology of infancy and ado
lescence don't you Just wish that he obliged to
practice these theories upon ordinary youngster?
1t is so lovely, TO read that II your small is
inclined, to climb UP to the smante and grab your
expensive vase the thing for yoYto do is lead him
gently away and get him interested in something else
or sit down and explain to him why he can not have
the thing he wants. But the chances are that no
matter how long you talk youngster unlike the
ones In books viii return Immediately to his first
occupation and yell louder than ever for the vase.
Advice about bringing up babies is like all this
beauty stuff If we followed it we would never get any
ironing is not anxious to to her young hopeful
every five minutes and spend half an hour divertin
his attention. She wants 10 get her work done and
will probably grab switch and enforce obedience.
which is. after all, efscaclous method.
It's easy matter to bring up somebody else's
children but please don't patronize mothers until you
try making of your to behave Some of these
expert authorities ought to talk less and get busy
wrestling with some real kids.

CURLING VIOLENCE

The people Of this city will rejoice in any action
that ends the dynamitng of street cars and makes
travel upon them safe. 's@ a:A g.
Three striking carmen have admitted such acts
az violence. They we're worse than foolish If they
were led to believe that they could win Victory
for any cause by the of dynamite
No leader of labor worthy of the name, no man
fit to advise others or to champion any cause would
Suggest that threat to community or the destruc
lion Of property is an argument be effective in
arousing public sympathy.
Violence must stop. Safety of the public upon
street cars is the first consideration.
NJ The men who use violence become not protest
ing laborers but criminals. and crime should be pun
ished as criminals.
st is something of a reflections upon the ma
chnery Of government and OF the State courts that
these men, who admit such acts, did in answer to
a charge of contempt Of court
The acts constitute, crime and we have, presum-
ably, courts which punish criminals.
Punishment of criminals is not the whole OBJ
jective nor the only necessary step in this COM
munity. /
The permanent peaceful operation OF the street
cars on basis of peace is necessary and should be
possible.
The maintenance of service upon war basis
is not pleasant advertisement for this city.
IA committee of outstanding citizens, representa-
tive Of public interest has appealed to the Governor
to take what steps he not to wage ware but to
perfect peace.
That might seem to be better way than the
falling of men who commit crimes after crimes have
been committed. tEt 49,
Let it be hoped, in the meantime. that men who
feel aggrived will recognize as their worst enemy
any person who advises them to commit acts OF vio-
lence or to embark upon reign of terrorism.
Whatever else public sentiment may endorse, it
will not stand or condone any such acts

THE LION WHIMPERS

Hostile demonstrations against America, contn-
In both France and Great Britain.
American tourists are jeered and even assaulted
on the streets of Paris There have been braws
between American sightseers and. rowdies in the
resorts of Montmartre. Newspapers in London re-

nunciations in Commons.

ton of the Americans be understood The
Frenchman his bankrupt country on the brink
Of ruin his business his job imperiled and his
savings wiped out. Rich Americans throw franc

gay while his house tumbles down about his ears

True, British settled her international debts at.
greater discounts than America but no one will be-
lieve she acted otherwise than in selfinterest She
got all she safely could without injury to her trade
A general cancellation of debts as some British,
proposed. would have allowed her to profit two or
three billions at the expense Of America
Time may demonstrate America was unwise In
her settlements and reveal need for revision But
America acted in sefinterest, the same as Brit

American citizens that they would be repaid the
sums loaned to foreign nations ~

Herriot lasted just four days

can cause us a deal of trouble later
on--more trouble than the money in
yolved\ measures, or that the stupid
diplomacy we have been practicing
