comes up-well, who. can we,
get for Janet? And if no one is

own-the others do, and I'm

dance, etc. When I hear the
others talking about Joe and
Tom and dates" am so
lonely and out of it. May I
have some advice? JANET.
Dear Janet, that's a nice little
letter, and you have a sense
of humor. I'll admit I can't
understand why the boys are
passing UP such a delightful
girl as you seem to be. Per-
haps the trouble is that you
are superior-that so far. you
haven't met the right sort OF
boys, the ones who would ap-
preciate you. Don't despair,

School Children

Psychologists estimate that
IS per cent of all education is
gained through the eyes.
Therefore, any reduction in
normal vision lessons the
child's ability to absorb infor-
nation and reduces his ulti-
mate store of knowledge. The
tragic part of having so large a
proportion of children suffer-
ing from defective vision is the
fact that so often it is entirely
unsupported.
Most of these children never
get an equal chance for no one
knows, until too late, that the
condition exists. The majority
of them get the misnomer of
being dull and inattentive,
while all the time they see
things through a haze. They,
themselves, rarely realize that
there is something wrong until
they are well along in school.
