POOR VISION HANDICAPS
MANY Hi SCHOOL PUPILS
Results of Examination Show
$50 With Defective Vision At
tending Advanced Schools
WORK is NOT COMPLETED

Educational investigations and
surveys during the past few years
have shown that one of the most out
standing handicaps to the learning
process in the elementary schools and
high schools of today is that of de-
fective vision," Mrs. Joseph F. Fahey,
county health nurse, stated yesterday
to a Republican reporter.
MANY pupils" continued Mrs.
Fahey, "are not up to standard from
their first entrance into school because
of. their poor eyesight, unable to see
what is plainly visible to other chill
dren, and therefore unable to grasp
the subject matter before them.
Headaches, weak eye muscles, ner-
vous- irritability and many other
symptoms are due to astigmatism and
other eye defects.
Recently a senior in one of the
Garrett county high schools was
thought to be threatened with a ner-
vous breakdown. Examination by an
eye specialist proved the child to be
suffering from bad case of astigma-
tism. Correct glasses were supplied
and the child very soon returned to
school in the best of health and ready
to do successful work. This illustra-
ton shows the Importance of arrest
ing the evils of defective vision in the
very beginning of school life.
Results of an examination given
z in the high schools of this county have
shown that more than an hundred and
fifty children win defective vision are
now attending high school. Survey
of the elementary schools has not
been completed.
During the past year." stated Mrs.
Fahey, "more than one hundred chill
dren, including both elementary and
high school pupils, have had their
eyes examined and have been supplied
with the correct glasses.
"For those unable to pay for this
most necessary correction, DR.. George
Sharrett, of Cumberland, who is a
specialist in his profession, has made
the examination free of charge and
glasses have been purchased at cost
and paid for by the Garrett County
Chapter of the American Red Cross.
In many instances the parents of the
child were financially able to meet
this expense themselves and the pub
lie health nurses assisted by making
appointments and arranging trans
portation.
"Dr. Sharrett states" continued
Mrs. Fahey, chat every child that
has been referred to me from Garrett
county by the public health nurses
has been found to have a major de-
feet of the eyes,
However" concluded the nurse
who is rendering such invaluable aid
to the children of the county, "only
the most urgent cases have been taken
care of to date. But with the cooper
alton of all concerned it is the goal OF
the Public Health Service to complete
this survey and follow-up work that
is necessary before all corrections in
the vision of school students can be
made"

Bg JHtted Press
NEW YORK, April 17.-Henry
Ford feels that the return of
legalized beer and whisky would be
followed by widespread reduction
of wages in the United States.
His answers to three questions
propounded by the Alcohol Infor-
nation Committee and made pub
lie today, also revealed that he is
Of the opinion employers should en-
force the prohibition law, aided by
government supervision Of liquor
traffic. His answers in part were:
Il believe business has more to do
with prohibition enforcement today
than any other agency.
Those employers who were anxi-
Gus to improve the condition of
their men by increasing their wages
soon discovered that no business
can afford to pay high wages to
Incorporate or drinking workmen.
If the impossible should occur
I mean the return Of legalized liquor
its first effect would be wide
spread reduction of wages due to
the demoralizing of labor which Ii
quor always causes.
Business has been vastly helped
by the prohibition law in securing
sobriety. The law gives us a
weapon We are no longer left to
ourselves to get decent conditions
for families, but have the support
of the government.
"The liquor business made money
for very few-took money and mon
ey making ability from very many.
General business since prohibi-
ton has resulted in the kind Of
business that benefits all who en-
gage in it."
