Phone 1516 Number 233 These are the symptoms point- ing to the existence of that con- dition of greatly reduced vision, conditions just a few steps more and they will be beyond the use of glasses. 0f course the percen- tage of defective cases greatly exceeds those blind, but neglected and the highly defective may soon join the latter group. When sight saving classes ex- isted first in the oid country it was for the assistance of highly myopic cases but later when other cases of high defect were found they were allowed in this clas and as the attention given proved successful it was found that an- other division could be created namely the seeing and the non- seeing. The non-seeing w e r e taught by raised letters and given vocational training and attention best suited to them. The semni- seeing were organized into classes according to their visual condi- tion and with the resuit that some could be taught and with atten- tion to the eyes hetter vision created also. Better vision being attained through teaching them how to assist and so conserve what they had and as I mentioned before vocational work and es- peciaily hand and touch work 50 that the eyes need not unneces- sarily strain themselves.

Enemy agents are on the lookout for these tid- bits of information which they can tic together forming a com- plete picture. We must not give aid and comfort to the enemy. Therefore if wc omit part of any news brought in to us, our con- tributors will know that we have donc so because we are trying to keep tihis information (which is interesting to ail of us) away from the enemy. Bring us your news. We want it. We will take care that no in- formation vital to the enemy is published. When life is too intense it is too soon in the past tense. School. . .

"Better relationship between the home and the school bas a tellin.g effect o h pupils," said Rev. F. H. Joblin, as hie addressed the meeting. He traced the origin of homes and home life. The greatest asset' of a young man's iif e is the influence of his home. This is borne out in the fact that the highest percentage of success was in ministers' children. In tracing from the beginning of education we find the rfionasteries were bright lights in the dark ages. The history of schools shows that ahl our education had its roots in the Christian church. Trinity College, Toronto, Knox College and Victoria College are examples as being established by the churches. The Christian outlook is caught, rather than taught. We must live our Christianity in the homes. We must have home-made Chris- tianity today. Religion must be in the home and taught there in example and word. The kingdom of this world wiil neyer become the kingdom of this Lord until it becomes the kingdom of the home. Do away with greed, self- isbness, pride and malice. WE must defend our Christian way of living, and it must be taught by us so that our way of iife lie tvorth fighting for. The speaker pointed out that the downfall. of nations couid be directiy respon- sible to 'their faiiing away' from the Christian way of life.
