The opening of school on Sept. 5 will bring the parents of the many boys and girls at­ tending high school face to face with the problem of continuing their children in high school. This problem is especially hard to solve for those parents having a boy or girl who has just finished the grade school and who should continue on into high school. The usual reasons given for attending high school are probably summed up in the following statements as given by C. H. Duker, superintendent of schools of McHenry. First - education is one thing a parent can give his boy or girl that they can never lose. Second- education causes an individual to have a greater enjoyment in life. Third-economic conditions force one to educate their boy or girl. Fourth-the boys and girls of high school age need supervised social relations.

"Dominant Eye Test Suggested For Parents Are you "right-eyed" or "left-eyed?" Most right-handed people are also right-eyed, reports the Illinois Society for the Prevention of Blindness. But in five to ten per cent of the population it has been found that right-handed people are left-eyed, meaning that their left eye is dominant over the right and does more of the seeing. Usually this slight dominance of one eye over the other is not important, yet sometimes the difference is severe and one eye is too weak, is used too little, and may become more seriously weakened by lack of use. Parents particularly should test their children at an earty age to determine whether they are right or left-eyed, the Society suggests. It is not only a useful thing to know but it may reveal a severe case of inadequate vision in one eye which should be treated by an eye doctor. There are two simple home tests which can be used to determine which eye is dominant. The first one is to hold up a finger and, with both eyes wide open, aim it at a stationary object across the room. Then, holding the finger still, close your right eye. If you are left- eyed, the finger will stay right on the object. If your right eye is dominant the finger will seem to jump to the right when you close your right eye. For the second test, poke a small hole in a piece of paper and hold it at arm's length, sighting through the hole at an object across the room. Then, looking at the object with both eyes, bring the paper up to your face. If the hole ends up over your left eye, you are left-eyed, and vice versa. Nothing is more powerful than habit. -Cicero. LIONS PICNIC The McHenry Lions club will attend a picnic at Camp Lions, Lake Villa, Sunday Aug. 19.
