SATE MANY CHB0KEWS EYES "Mote than ens eighth of the 24,- MlyOOO school. dkQdren in the United Slates are suffer&g from defective vision," Myrtle Chalftrom of the Illinois Society for the Prevention of Blindness, told a number of school superintendents and officials from northern Illinois communities in a symposium on school lighting held at the Chicago Lighting Institute May 19. "While 'cure* was the watchword of the past, conservation of vision and prevention of defective eyesight are the whispers of the present and the hopes of the future," said Miss Chalstrom. In a recent survey of Illinois schools made by the Society for the Prevention of Blindness, Miss Chalstrom stated that in rural communities the percentage of defective vision averaged 16.8, while in larger cities the percentage was in the neighborhood of 12. She said better illumination in the larger communities is the only way to account for less defective vision. There .are now a number of special classes for children with defective vision conducted in Illinois by trained teachers with funds provided by the; state through the sponsorship of the Society for the Prevention of Blindness. Illinois is giving $250 per year for each child in these special classes. Completing the symposium were Leonard E. Loos, Assistant Superintendent of Schools in Lake Forest, who recently made an extensive study of school lighting and O. P. Cleaver, an illuminating expert with the Westinghouse Manufacturing company. Mr. Loos said that many American schools are operating on a halftime basis because of the inadequate artificial lighting they still use. He pointed out the importance of proper physical condition forming the school child's surroundings, not the least of which is proper lighting. Scientifically designed lighting aids the educational process and promotes the health of pupils. Mr. Cleaver analyzed on a "dollar and cents" basis the economy of correct illumination. He showed that in addition to the-&uman benefits of conserved health and happiness, good lighting actually pays for itself through the corresponding decrease in expenses paid to educate backward children. On the average he said it costs about one hundred dollars a year for the education of each child in the public schools. Records show that 25 percent of the country's school children are backward, and one-third of these have defective vision. If one backward child in a given class is saved every three years, at the present cost of good lighting lighting will pay for itself. Senator Richard J.
