SIGHT-SAVING
■ Throughout the world, there are
millions who canpot see;. in "Canada,
the number runs into several thous
ands. Most of this blindness could
have been prevented. Are the child
ren of our present generation gding
to avoid h similar catastrophe?
Total blindness, or serious perm
anent damage to sight, occur as a J
result of ophthalmia ngoriatorum.
commonly known- as “babies’- sore
—eyes^^^-T^is—tunfo-Friuhate-;-happening— i
4 crimes from certain germs gaining
. entrance to the eyes at the time of
birth." Inflammation follows, with
. destruction or damage, to parts of,
the eye which are essential to'.'sight
; Fortunately cases can be prevent-'
« ed by the use tef a prophylac/i
treatment apnlied to the eyes, a+
birth. Tfiis treatment-is simple and
in many places, it is' required bv
: law as a routine procedure. Dtirim’
more recent years, since this pre
ventive method; has;;be„en widelv used
there has been a remarkable
crease in blindness from this cause.
Every adequate sehdijil health ser
vice provides for routine vision test
ing of all school children. The child
who cannot see properly is. not like
ly to make satisfactory '.progress in
school. The child. msiy appear to be.
stupid; he is apt to fail in his work-
he may suffer from , headaches _or
other physical discomfort which
■ arises from, eye-strain. This eopdi-
^^n-'-^f-affa-irs-^ri^^be^tKe^ex-j^ah^
tion of the child’s becoming a pro
blem in his attitudes towards school
and life in general. Properly fitted
glasses'will give the child prone’
sight in most cases, and so overcome
his other difficulties arising' out of
his inability to see properly.
Many' school boards do. and aT.
should,, provide for ' sight-having
■ classes,
classes now are found' in every Civi
lized country. They serte to furnish
of-children whose vision is ‘already
seriously " defective. ■ T'tey nrenarc
these children’ to grow up into' self-

1 New President Spoke
Upon thanking the Board for their
co-operation during the past two
years, the .retiring president,. Mr.
Tacob Hunter, vacated the chair,
which was taken by the incoming
president, Mr. John McQuillin.
Mr. McQuillin stated that he be
lieved fairs that were not trying to
expand and that were cutting their
nrize list, were dwindling. Elimina
tion of the “dead letter’ part of the
lifst and the introduction of specials
were two of his recommendations.
He did not believe in excluding the
rucker or professional exhibitor, but
he did believe that the use of
. -special-prizes which ..could be„k>calx.
’zed, would prevent the outside man
from sectiring more than his share
‘ "5f’^he~15rite”^M6ri'e^
The saving effected by eliminating
/he “dead letter” part of the list
•ould be-used, Mr. McQuillin stated,
‘n adding attractions both for the
exhibitor and sight-seer.
