Playmates Vital
in Child's Future
Contact With Others Teach
Mental Alertness.

Minneapolis. July P-The inn
portance of playmates in the de-
velopment OF the young child was
emphasized before the department
of kindergarten primary education
of the National Education associa-
ton today by Miriam Brubaker,
nursery school director of the Ma
tional Kindergarten and Elemen-
tary college at Evanston. Ill.
"The child who has the privilege
a challenge to his mental capacities
that the child who plays alone does
not meet" she said. Every day
with any group of children chal-
longing problems arise. and the
success with which they meet them
is due to the opportunity given the
youngsters to work out their own
salvation.
1.-The child must be alert when
in this play contact with others.
He learns through experience that
he will lose out many times unless
he is alive to the activity about
him. Competition calls forth
greater effort: imagination is
aroused. and many other mental
traits are stimulated.
"As to the emotional life Of the
child. we frequently see fears dis
appearing because of the activities
carried on by others. Often the
example set by one eradicates fear
in a playmate and places the child
on the road to self-confidence.
"The fiery temper is curbed and
controlled as the peppery individual
finds that lis outbursts bring him
isolation rather than attainment OF
his wishes. AS social adjustment
becomes more evident. greater har-
mony is established in the group,
which should mean for the midi
vidual the building up of the habit
of being happy"

Health Hints
BY DIR. MORRIS FISHRElN
Editor Journal of the American
Medical Association and OF Hy-
gia, the Health Magazine

Defects Of the eyes are third
among physical defects found in
school children. Most Of the cases
are the results Of errors in the con-
struction of the eye. resulting either
in near-sightedness, far-sig htedness,
or astigmatism.
Some OF the defects are due to
weakness of the eye muscles or
represent the results OF scars left
by previous infection.
Obviously to the child who is
handicapped with bad vision
suffers more greatly than any other
in its school work. Only recently
have tests begun to be made uni
formly Of school children with q
view to giving all OF them an equal
chance at education.
An Equal Chance
Our laws say that every child
shall have an equal chance at an
education, but unless it is physi-
cally fit, particularly SO far as
concerns It's vision and hearing,
its chance is not the same us that
of the child who is normal physi-
cally.
A survey made by a committee
representing the National Educa-
ton Association the American
Medical Association and the Ma
tional Society for the Prevention
OF Blindness indicates that II per
cent represents the amount OF de-
fective vision among school chill
drcn in the United States.
Since 1922 about 100000
! eyes examined.
In rural Pennsylvania 1853 per
cent of more than 100000 pupils
examined were found with defes-
4 tive eyes.
! In Iowa 6.5 per cent of children
iii cities had bad vision. whereas
14+ per cent OF those in the
country required corrections.
+ No Uniform Statistics
: Because Of variations in the
methods of examination, the sta
tistics are not uniform and cannot
be compared as to various sections
OF the country. The percentage
varied from 6 to 16 in states and
from / to % per cent in reports
from cities.
We have in this country about
24.o00.o00 school children. The
big problem of today still remains
the determination of those who
require help so far as relates to
eyesisht and the provision of the
proper assistance.

saw Philip Neritzen seated so close
