Keith Billett, Bowman- ville optametrist, in his talk on vision stressed the importance of good vision as related toaa child's pragress in school. Be- twee'i 70 and 90 percent of knowledge cames ta us through the medium of vision, and vis- ual aids such as films, are be- ing increasingly used in schools. 0f all the earth's creatures, man has the most highly devel- oped visual mechanism, Mn. Bul- lett said, and the main reason he has been able ta dominate other creatures is bis superior vision. Man is the only crea- ture which sees with bath eyes at once. There is a direct rela- tion between the field o~f vision and intelligence in the animal world. Test Not Enough Mn. Billett deploned the fact that the anly test cf vision given in the schools is the Snell- ing test of visual acuity, on dis- tance. Much mare important, Mn. Billett felt, was whether a chîld has simultaneous bina- cular vision, and fusion, the lat- ter including the judgment for distance and depth. Tests for thes e twa important parts of vision can be made by the tirne the child is three, and If fusion is not properly developed by the age of six, this is sufficient reason for keeping him out of school. Vision is a leanned act, Mr. Billett told his audience, and does flot develop in everyone at the same raté' Parents Should Check Mn. Billett drew the diagram of an eye on the blackboard and named the diffenent parts *and their function. He also gave parents several things ta watch for in children to detect a vis- ual pnoblem. Some of these were, losing place while readl- ing, avoiding close work, body igidity xvh le looking at a dis- tant abject, holding reading dloser, than normal, frowning or other facial distontions. Mrs. D. Park presided for the business periad when minutes were read by Mrs. J. Cuddahee and treasurer's report given by Mrs. C. Welsh, showing a bank balance of $290.71 and cash on hand of $3.81.
