ing British guns the night Of April

Testing Of 3 or 10 schools In
the District has revealed that loss
Of hearing among children here
runs higher than in the rest Of
the country, 1t was disclosed yes
teerday by the Washington So
ciety for the Hard of Hearing.
Audiometer testing of nearly 1000
school children here, made possi-
BILE through Community Chest
funds, has revealed that District
children have lost anywhere from
! to 7l5 per cent more hearing
than the average S per cent suffered
by children in other parts of the
United States, the society an
nounced.
Schools where testing has al
ready been completed by j. Leo

der the direction Of DR.. Joseph

Emery School some time this week,
and the Truesdale and Douglass
school children will be tested by

The lowest average vet discov-
cred in any of the schools Is 6
per cent" Mr.. Connor said. Some
schools, usually those in the poorer
districts, have shown an average
hearing loss of 8, 8 and 12ls per
cent among their pupils"
The survey was undertaken by
the Hard Of Hearing Society at
the request of the District Health
Department when it was discov-
cred that 1211 per cent of one

ing.
