In this country we have soil
conservation and lumber con-
servation and wild life conserva-
ton, why not eye conservation?
What can be more important
to an individual than his sight?
Nearly IS per cent Of mans
knowledge is gained through his
eyes. What is the real story
about eye deficiency? The last
world war highlighted these
facts but perhaps you have for
gotten them.
About % per cent of those
under 20 have defective vision
80 per cent under 80 have de-
fects in vision-48 per cent Of
those under 40-71 per cent of
those under 50-and 95 per cent
of those over go. And, most Of
this impaired vision has its
origin in childhood. It has been
found that at least 10 per cent
Of children entering school have
subnormal vision.
The conservation of sight is
a job for the parent, the teacher
and the doctor. People use their
eyes many, many times more
today than they did in the past.
This is true in work and industry
and home life and at school.

could well spend some of their
time crusad1ng for better light
ing in school rooms and for the
correct height desks. Then, too,
often a child attends school
which has adequate lighting
only to come home and read in
poor light.
Your child would fall heir to
corrective measures early in life
if you had him take a visual
test along with his yearly
physical.
Remember that the proper
reading distance for a child is
10 inches from his eyes. AS he
grows older the distance should
be increased, the maximum be-
ing between Is and 18 inches
for an adult. Good posture is an
aid not only to health but to
eye conservation because it helps
maintain the correct reading
distance.
Good light means not only
adequate light but that which
is free from glare. It should not
shine in your eyes but on your
work or reading, without
shadows or uneven light.

Youngsters
Games
.By AnoeIo Potri

Children's play is important to
their growth and development
and it is good for them to enjoy
it. Dramatic games, Of course,
are a delight. Children, boys
and girls, love to identify them
selves with the central figure in
the game. A little girl may want
to be the queen and, a boy, the
hero.
We know that experiences
deeply impressed in childhood
are likely to color character and
personality in maturity. It is
wise to influence the youngsters
play in directions helpful to
their minds and bodies. Adults
should discourage games that
might be harmful at the time or
later. This is why I hate guns
as toys for children.
A real gun is an instrument for
killing. Children should not
even play with any such idea in
mind. Killing, or death, even
imaginary, should have no place
in children'S games.
There are some people who will
resent my saying this and insist
that boys should learn early how
to use guns. There is, of course,
the sporting use of guns. You
can shoot birds and animals,
which is exciting. Then, too,
1t is necessary sometimes to kill
dangerous animals, such as rabid
foxes that infeSt some woods and
fields But, even so, this is all
far removed from children's
games.
Children have little or no
knowledge of the real meaning of
death. Only wise instruction
enlightens them as they mature.
A child sees a movie or a tele-
vision show or watches his father
get a rabid fox or a thieving
woodchuck; the boy hears stories
OF gun battleS-all of which pro-
videS a good deal of excitement.
The youngSter cannot discrim-
mate between the useful and
and dangerous purposes of a
gun. That has a great deal to
do with the dreadful stories in
the papers about children killing
other children and even grown
people, without understanding
the enormity of their act.
Guns are bad toys. Real fire.
arms should be kept out of reach
of children. When the time
comes, If ever, that a boy needs
to be trained to use a gun, an
experienced instructor can take
over.
