Chillren's Eyes Need
Frequent Checking

Have your child's eyes check
frequently.
About one-third of all school-age
.childrenS have poor eyesight. I'm
corrected sight defects often result
in disinterest in studies and poor
grades.
Probably the biggest problem
is that too often neither parents nor
children realize the trouble. If a
child has always seen double or
had blurred vision, he has no rea-
son to think anything is wrong.
Check for red rims, encrusted or
swollen lids, recurring sites, in
fiammatiOn or wateriness or cross
ing of the child's eyes. All are signs
of some eye trouble.
Impatient citizens, worried over
the slow progress of the human
race, might as well quiet down.

Members Of the Presidents
Committee met here in Washing
ton October Is with representa-
tives of most Of the states repre-
sented in the Committee of Gov
errors and repeated it's assurance
that it is anxious to cooperate with
all State and local public and pri-
vate agencies seeking the elimina-
ton of discriminatory employment
practices.
"The extent to which the Com
mittee can work with individual
state agencies on specific cases is
governed by fact that the Com
mittee and the States work from
different legal bases. The States
are concerned with the enforcement
of penal statutes, while the Com
mittee is concerned with securing
compliance with a provision of
Government contracts" General
Ryan explained.

elimination. 1t has increased its
staff in similar, carefully planned
manner, as it has needed the SER
vices of more people, the Executive
Vice Chairman reported.
"The establishment of Equal Job
Opportunity policies whenever Gov
eminent contract work is being
done has involved an educational
process in which the personnel of
the contracting agencies have par
ticipated fully" he said. "That
educational process has achieved
remarkable progress in the last
four years and today members of
minority groups are finding new
employment opportunities in indus
tries that were closed to them only
a few years ago." he continued.
These include the manufacture of
airframes and missiles, the petrol
cum industry, ground employment
with scheduled airlines, telephone
and other communications work,
the electronics industry, the devel-
opment and application of atomic
energy and banking.
General Ryan said: "The Com
mittee's objective is as broad as
it believes is consistent with the
proper use of Federal authority;
the elimination of discrimination
where work is being done for the
Federal Government.
"The Governors have recon-
mended that the Committee estab-

"All of the Funds member col

on the cooperative examinations"
DR.. Patterson said. "a few schools
already do.
"Pre-admission testing of high
school prospects provides more
objective and uniform method of
selecting entering freshmen. High
school grades and rank-in-class do
not always give an accurate pic
ture of an applicants ability be-
cause of wide variations in grad
ing systems and scholastic compe-
tition. Scores made on a stand
ardized admission test remove
much Of the guess-work in select
ing students and should reduce the
number of freshmen failures in

more than $500 candidates are
expected to take the Cooperative
intercollegiate Examinations this
year." DR.. Patterson said. "The
tests will be given in 1873 centers
throughout the country between
Feb. "a and March g." Scoring
and Interpretation of test results
are handled by the Educational
Testing Service of Princeton.
More than 3,40O candidates took
the examination in 1857. They
represented sos high schools, of
which BIT, or about rs per cent,
were located in nine southern
states. The Virgin Islands, the
District of Columbia and 18 other
states were also represented. Can
didates were selected for more than
100000 in scholarship awards.
Inaugurated in 1851 by Is of the
Funds 81 privately supported
member colleges, the program has
been highly successful during the
past seven years.
Before this time it had been
the practice Of most of the private
colleges to conduct their own quail
flying examinations for their re-
spective candidates." DR.. Patterson
said. "This often resulted in the
same students being tested by sew
eral colleges to which they had APP
plied-often by means of Identical
examinations. Finally high school
principals complained of the dis
ruption to classroom studies by
recurring testing sessions.
"The cooperative plan met these
problems. 1t reduced the expenses
of the colleges by scheduling one
jointly financed examination in
strategicially located centers. 1t
also reduced the loss of classroom
time by enabling interested high
school seniors to compete, at one

1.-THE Committee serves as a rec

since it may call on these con-
tracing agencies for field work,

it would if it were working alone"
