by railroad workers in other

The railroads asked that court

it had no authority to rule on
such dismissal motions. The rail-

Justice Frankfurter wrote the

Test Of Vision
Most Important

Importance of eye examinations
for school children is emphasized
by the report of DR.. John B.
O'Shea, president of the American
Optometric association, that more
than half Of all have vision in
adequate to school performance.
More than two-thirds of the fail
ures in the lower grades attributed
to inadequate reading ability are
traceable to visual insufficiency,
he says.
DR.. O'Shea urges more compre-
hensive visual tests in school to
discover youngsters who need spe-
cial attention and planning Of
classrooms to improve seeing en-
vironment.
With reference to the latter, he
refers to scientific lighting, pastel
paints on walls and ceilings, light
floors and also pastel chalk-boards
instead of notwithstanding black.
Help a child to see and you
help him read; help him read and
YOU help make him a successful
student" says the doctor.

Adults Also, Now Going Back To School In
Greater Numbers Than Ever Before known

School bells announcing the be-
ginning of a new term will sum-
mon more than 20,000,000 adults
back to learning this fall, along
with the more than 30,000,000 pu-
pills going back to grade schools,
high schools and colleges.
The growth of adult education
in the United States, which is
credited with breaking down old
fashioned attitudes toward learn
ing, is moving forward with great
strides. 1t has become available
to all Americans in schools and
colleges, Libraries and museums,
government courses and private
corresponding schools.
One has only to check the classes
offered grown-ups by local schools
to get some impression of the
yearning for learning that has be-
come a fixed characteristic of the
good American seeking self
improvement, economically and
.culturally.

in citizenship to help newcomers
to America to fit themselves for a
place in their adopted homeland.
Further impetus was given the
movement by the great depression
with its varied w. P. A. courses
and research projects and it
reached its current climax with the
return of veterans from World war
II, many of whom have taken
night courses to catch up with
education missed while they were
away.
Today, adult education is a flour
ishing concept of American life,
offering a never-ending chain of
learning for grown-ups who seek
to improve themselves in going
back to school.
And in so doing, they learn to
be individuals who grow mentally
with the expansion of opportunity
in America, at the same time their
children are being prepared to take
an adult role in life.

A Word To Wise Parents
Famous Psychologist Suggests How Child's Pleasure In
School Can Be Enhanced

Some parents can unwittingly become the chief obstacle to
their chHdren's enjoyment of school, according to a study report
ed recently by DR.. Rose G. Anderson, Director of the Psychology
icl Service Center of New York.
DR.. Anderson, widely recognized consulting psychologist and
author, has pointed out that if parents would do what it is in
their power to do in preparing young people for learning by
helping them get the things they need, whether it is a good
tablet or a set of paint brushes, the educational road ahead
would be a happier one for the child.
Remember" says DR.. Anderson, 1.-THE normal child looks
forward to school. Given the choice of staying in or leaving
school, most children, except those seriously unadjusted, are uni
formly in favor of staying in school.
That's where their friends and associates are. The SWIM
ming hole, the Fairgrounds and the hideouts are pretty lonely
places during school hours"

The wide range of course that
have attracted adults extend from
practical child care for expectant
parents to classes in the creation
of exotic perfumes. 1t embraces
courses in the understanding and
appreciation of the arts as well as
in the operation of a neighborhood
store.
Variety of Courses
Usually courses available to
grown-ups in their own commune
ties are geared to the specific in
terests and needs Of the greatest
number in their specific areas.
Farming communities offer courses
in agriculture. Industrial commu-
mites give courses in advanced
machine shop work and modern
.~electronics.
Adult education began in Amer
lea a hundred years ago, primarily
for the cultivation of hobbies.

Teach Children
Safety "Truths"

There are 10 safety truths
which if followed implicitly by
all children would help to reduce
the number of injuries from
traffic mishaps.
They form the A. "A. A. sug-
gested Safety Education Pro-
gram for elementary schools
and are also the basis for the
annual poster contest for ele-
mentary and high school stu
dents which last spring drew
thousands Of entries.
The truths" are:
obey the Safety Patrol.
keep from between
parked cars.
3-LOok both ways before
crossing.
4-Wear white after dark.
5-CrOss only at corners.
6-.Watch for turning cars.
BE extra alert On rainy
days.
S-Learn and obey bicycle
safety rules.
9-Play away from traffic.
10-Walk on left facing
traffic.
Children will have these
truths pointed out to them in
class by teachers. Parents will
do well to remind them of these
points at home also.

Authorities
Issue Plea
For Caution
Don't Rely On Your Horn
Alone Is Warning
To Drivers

with the greatest number OF
motor vehicles in the history of
this community and the nation,
now rolling over streets and high
ways, and with more children 60
ing back to school this fall than
ever. before, traffic authorities
have issued a special plea to driv-
ers to be on the alert for the
safety of youngsters.
Though school patrols have done
magnificent work in helping to
protect children from traffic haz-
ards near schools, this is not
enough. Neither is sound practice
on the part of the motorist to de-
pend on a warning horn to keep
children from darting thoughtless-
ly in front of his a
No matter how we'll trained the
child may be, or how carefully
guarded near schools and play
grounds, his preoccupation with
play and his immaturity of X
perience may cause him to stray
from the paths of safety without
thinking.
Must Be Alert
1t is in the residential areas of
the city, and on country roads
where children sometimes walk
home from schools, that the car
or truck driver must be especially
alert after schools open for the
season.
Thoughtful motor vehicle opera
tors who are conscious of the ir-
responsibility of younger school
children, and concerned about their
welfare, will go farther than the
exercise of simple caution in driv-
ing.
They will make it a point to see
to it that their cars and trucks are
in tip-top mechanical condition be-
fore schools open for the season.
Common Causes
AS everyone knows, tragic acct
dents have occurred because some
body's car horn didn't work at the
crucial moment. Other common &C
cidents result from obscured vision
caused by a faulty windshield
wiper.
Life and broken limbs are the
toll taken by brakes that don't
hold when an emergency arises, or
by tires which fail to grip the
road because treads are worn
down. {
Traffic authorities urge motor
lists to have their cars checked to /
make sure brakes are working I
properly, and that tires have safe |
treads. Time to check windshield !
wipers is in good weather. With /
shorter days as the fall school /
season proceeds, lights should be I
checked also. &
With his car conditioned for per-
feet, split-second performance, sug- /
gests the A. A. A., there should be
let up in caution. 4
Don't Bank On Light
Just because the corner is pro- 4
tected by a traffic light and maybe
also by a school safety patrol, is q
guarantee that some lads tus- y
at the edge of the sidewalk =
won't tumble out into the street;
or that some boy or girl, fearful
of missing the school bus, might L
not come rushing across an inter-
section without looking.
With his car conditioned for per-
feet split-second performance, the
thoughtful driver will slow down
near schools and in residential Sec g
TONS, and will use an extra bit of n
caution during the back to school D
season. -"
