HEALTH OFFICER
WARNS AGAINST
BAD EYESICHT

Defective vision in school children
is the subject of the weeks health
letter issued by the county public
health department, under DR.. War;
rem F. Fox.
In the letter are the following re-
marks on defective vision:
This is a problem ever worthy of
the serious consideration of parents,
school authorities and health de-
partments. At the recent White
House conference on child health
and protection, one committee re-
ports that out of 45,000,000 children,
35,000,000 are reasonably normal,
$4,000 are partially blind and $4,000
wholly blind. No statistics are given
as to the number of visual defects.
In the rural schools of Imperial
County we have found uncorrected
visual defects to average approx
mately 18 per cent.
1T is quite generally agreed that
the incidence of defective vision in
school life is greater with each Sue
ceeding year from the time of school
entrance. Vision strain often ac-
companies school progress during
this developmental period of life.
Headache, dizziness, soreness OF
pain in the eyes, blurring of vision,
inflamed eyelids and conjunctivitis,
increased tear secretion, burning
and itching of the eyelids, sensitive
ness to light, nervousness, indiges-
ton, inability to read easily and
generally impaired health-may be
found in the child suffering from a
visual defect. The supposedly back
ward child or mentally defective
child often suffers from visual de-
fects.
"The wise parent has his child re-
ceive general physical examina-
ton before entering school, paying
particular attention to the child's
eyes and teeth. If the child cannot
read, the Symbol E Test can be
given and defects discovered by the
physician"

Experiments On
Light Succeeds

PASADENA, Cal, April Is. U.P)-
News that the experiments which
indirectly caused his illness were a
success today brought a modicum
of happiness to Dr.. Albert Michel
son, dean of the Worlds Physicists
who for the past month has been
bedridden at his home as a result
of a nervous breakdown brought
about by his intense study of the
speed of light
DR.. Nicholson was informed to-
day by his assistants that two
thirds of the scheduled readings OF
the speed at which light travels
taken at the mile-long vacuum
tube erected for his experiments
proved his previous experiments in
which he was assisted by the Unit
ed States Coast and Geodetic Sur
vey department.
The 79-year-old scientist previ-
ously determined by measuring
light rays between Mt. Wilson ano
Old Baldy by a system of mirrors
that light travels at 186,300 miles q
second. The Coast and Geodetic
Survey department assisted n
measuring the distance between the
two points.
