BY LESLIE J. MASON

Professor Of Education
University Of Southern California
Are the schools trying to
be all things to all people?
Sometimes it sounds this way
when the so-called "frills" of
modern education are dis
cuSSed.
Among advocates Of the
return to the 3-Rs" idea,
nothing ranks higher than
the non-academic activity as
a thing to distrust. Music,
drama, driver education,
teen-age grooming, and most
shop courses have had their
share of bitter condemnation.
But we live in a changing
world. Most of the changes
that have brought non-aca-
demic subjects into our
school curriculums date from
the first compulsory-a attend
ance laws. These laws were,
themselves, the product Of
change in our society. The
laws were designed at least
as much to keep children
out of the labor market as
to increase their education.
The drastic increase in the
rate Of change for our whole
society dates from about the
same time. Inventions and
advancement in the fields OF
communications. technology
and transportation ushered
in a whole new age along
with the goth century.
Changes in our schools
simply reflect these changes.
The laws which forced
children to remain in school
until they had either grad
uated from high school or
reached some maximum age,
which might vary from IA to
Is years, posed real problems
for schools.
Changes Beget Changes
Children who had given up
and quit school after three
of four years Of fruitless ef-
fort were now held in place
by the new laws.
The schools at first held
these children at grade level,
or passed them to a higher
grade only after they had
mastered the work Of the
grade. Soon it was common
to find broad age-spreads in
the lower grades. One could
hardly be surprised when Is
year-old third graders be-
came quite a problem.
Then the schools changed.
They began a policy Of age
promotion. At least it kept
age groups together. 1t also
took some Of the emotional
pressure off the unsuccessful

Dear DR.. Steincrohn: Just
what is meant by an opthal-
mologist? How does he diff
fer from an optician? My
husband who uses his eyes a
lot in his work complains
of headaches. He is AZ and
won't go for an eye exam
nation because he says he
sees we'll. Lately, though, he
says that his eyes have felt
tired. Sometimes he sees
rainbow colors around lights.
Don't you think he should
have an eye checkup?-Mrs.
K, Illinois.
FIRST, HERE ARE some
definitions in a leaflet put
out by the United States De-
partment of Health, Educa-
ton and Welfare called,
Care of the Eyes" Like
yourself, many readers will
find Qualification:
In selecting an eye spe-
cialist. it is necessary that
you understand the differ
ences in these occupations:
IAN OPTHALMOLOGIST
or OCULIST is a medical
doctor who specializes in di-
agnosis and treatment Of de-
fects and diseases Of the eye,
performing surgery when
necessary or prescribing
other types of treatment, in
Guiding glasses.
AN OPTOMETRIST, a Ii
censed, nonmedical practi-
toner. measures retroactive
errors; that is, irregularities
in the size or shape of the
eyeball or surface of the cor
nea. He also checks for eye
muscle disturbances. In his
treatment the optometrist
uses glasses, prisms, and ex-
ercises only.
AN OPTICIAN grinds
lenses, fits them into frames,
and adjusts the frames to
the wearer."
Now, as to your question
about your husbands need
for an examination. I would
say yes, even though he had
no symptoms whatever. Ev-
eryone after 40 should have
a routine eyecheck by an
opthalmologiSt. He may need
glasses but the important
thing to rule out is the pos
sibility Of glaucoma. This
is often a sneaky disease,
coming on without symp-
toms. and is a major cause
of blindness in this country.
For many reasons I won't 60
into, the pressure increases
within the eyeball and dam
ages the eye structure. The
doctor will do tonometer
test Simple and painleSS
which measures the pressure.
In your husbands case, ex-
animation is especially i'm
portant for this reason:
When q patient complains
of seeing rainbow halos
around lights, often this is
one of the symptoms of glau-
coma.
Call this column to your
husbands attention. If his
eyes mean so smuch to him
in his work, I'm sure he will
agree that it's time for an
eye checkup. Early diagnosis
and treatment can prevent
blindness.

ton that women can't be
color blind. But it is true
that it is more common
among men, in a ratio of
about eight or ten to one.

Il The house was as quiet as

Karen, 8, and Kathleen, 6,
the beautiful blonds, were in
the back on the swings. Gayle
was pushing them and the
happy screams could be heard
across the river.
Frank Gerace was wres-

and Janet were trying to get
james Dominick to take his
map on my bed. He isn't a
year old, but he has muscles
sto spare. Ginny and Charlie
came in with their four little
ones, and the picture was
complete.
My wife was in the kitchen
trying to carve . leg of lamb.
It looked to be about 8
pounds and I said: These
locusts will go through that
before you set the platter
down" She said she had
some cold roast beef and
some potato salad and q

N THE TELEVISION was on
in the dining room. The pic
ture was bright and clear,
but I cuold hear no sound
in the babble Of babies. There
wasn't a solitary moment
when someone wasn't crying.
The mothers and fathers sat
around the table, talking as
though they couldn't hear
the bedlam.
One Of the children turned
the air conditioner off; an
other one, Kevin Frechette,
was crawling toward the
front door when the bell rang.
1t was James Durkin, a pub
licity agent and friend. He
came in looking like a
beached whale in beige
shorts and he tried to say
hello, but he almost fell over
Kevin and, when he tried to
back UP, he bumped into lit
tie Jimmy Hughes.
Z He seemed like q man

gulped it, said thanks, and
ran. He runs pretty well for

would like to go swimming
and most Of the children who
can walk said: "Me!"

and one sister said: IF I

There is q big pool and a
