| Oui Of 4 Children
Needs Eye Treatment

New York-One out of four child
rem needs eye care, the sort he is not
receiving, it is revealed in a fire e
pamphlet, Eyes for the Future,
published by the National Society
for the Prevention Of Blindness, 1890
Broadway, New York 10, N. Y.
There may be times when a child
seems to fuss about everything the
pamphlet states, but one thing he
viii rarely complain about is poor
sight. This is because he doesn't
know just how clearly he ought to
see.
BY the time the child is three years
old, he should have his eyes tested, it
is advised, and thenceforth t h er
should be periodic examination of
the eyes, as there should be for the
general health. Teachers, as well as
parents, have a vital role in protect
ing the eyesight Of children.
Children do not outgrow crossed
eyes the pamphlet points out. In
fact, if this condition is not treated
in time the child may lose part of
his sight, it is warned.
Other hints on the protection Of
the eyes are given and home treat
ment for various conditions are given
in the pamphlet, which is free for the
asking.

We went this to be one Of the
greatest Conventions that we have
ever had and it is going to take all

the 1900 Membership Campaign you
don't have ANYTHING to worry about
but l am just wondering how can a
man or woman w b O has not done
anything say that he has done his
best? II is one Of the most miserable
feelings perhaps, to sit and h e ar
other presidents report W h a t they
have done and you know that you
didn't even try to do anything

l certainly would let the Secretary
know that l was interested, to the ex-
tent, that I did do something. The

Recoveries Rising From
Schizophrenia

New York-The chances Of partial
or total recovery from schizophrenia
the most common of the serious men
tai illnesses have nearly doubled in
the past twenty-five wears. it was re-
ported this week by the National As
ISOLATION for Mental Health.
A study made by the organization
based ON results in New York State
mental hospitals revealed that the
rate of improvement Or recovery
from t disease in 1928 was less
than 80 percent, while today it is 55
percent. As hospitals improve their
facilities and stating to make use of
the existing methods of treatment it
is expected that the rate of recovel1es
will continue to rise.
IN e n TIA patients have a good
chance of recovery if they get proper
care and treatment at an early stage
of their illness" the report states.
"Insulin, shock d electric shock
treatment, which h ave come into
wide use in the past decade, have
contributed to improvement and re-
&C -2tes running as high as 80
Pc.-- fou selected groups suffering
from certain of the mental illnesses. ="
The total rumber Qf patients in
mental hospitals today is $4,000, the
Association reveals, "as m any as
there are in all other hospitals com
bined" Thi7 represents an increase
Of 20 percent since 1910. There are
about $50 mental hospitals in III e
United States and 81 percent of the
beds for mental patients are in pub
lie hospitals operated by states, coun-
ties, cities and the federal govern
ment.

Twenty five years ago, after a
thorough study of the situation.
the rector of st. Cyprian's
Church, then the Rev. David Le-
roy Ferguson, authorized the
OrganiSt and Choirmaster to or
ganize a choir of men and boys
It was a tremendous task. bui
with the greatest cooperation
among the parishioners ano
friends of the Church, and with
the earnest prayers of all, a
beginning was made: The choir
grew both in quantity and quail
ity and has contributed greatly
to the spiritual and aesthetic life
of the parish. There have been
moments of seeming collapse
but they have been followed by
periods of accomplishment and
success. All have done their
work manfully and great ex-
pectation for a continued Offer
ing of zeal, devotion, and Chris
tian brotherhood is to be real

THE JEWS are the target in
