This, of course, is not Supervision of school examinaâ€" tions for visual efficiency should be made much more exact and compreâ€" hensive than it now is. In some school systems the entire program for eye health is based on whether & child is able to read a 20â€"20 chart. Not much attention is paid to what kind of a chart it is, whether one drawn to the scale of Smellen meaâ€" surements or not, nor whether the In talking this over with another teacher it was suggested that this same group be examined by a memâ€" ber of the staff of the National Soâ€" clety for the Prevention of Biindâ€" ness. Nearly half the group had visual defects sufficient to interâ€" fere with their seeing critically and accuratoly. A DEFINITE HANDICAP This is a rather high finding, but, taking large groups of children with low intelligence ratings, it is found that about 10 per cent. have vwisual defects which account for their low scores in intelligence One of the teachers in an Ameriâ€" ean grade spghool heard that the peychology department in a nearby university was giving paper and pencil tests to children to deterâ€" mine their I.Q. rating, writes Dr. Logan Clendening. She had her enâ€" tire class examined and found she had what she considered an unusâ€" ually large group of low ratings. Poor Vision, Poor Student In other more settled sections of Algoma, the bears, animals of 400 to 600 pounds in weight which reâ€" quire a substantial diet, do a zood deal of damage to farm stock, killâ€" ing calves and pigs.

Questions asked in the British use of Commons cost, on an erage, five dollars each to an«â€" It is in search of food that the bears do most of their destruction. Mr. Hormavirta told of how they had broken into a meat storage house, 12 x $ feet with double walls. On other occasions when they could not break through the walls they had tornm off the roof to make an entry. Canned foods or other foods are all the same to them. They even seom to eat the cans. But he is comvinced, for all that, that the bear is just about the most destructive, if also about the most playful animal that the Alzoma forest holds. The Algoma bear won‘t attack human beings unless they interâ€" fero with its cubs, in the view of Hans Hormavirta, who as a pulpâ€" wood and timber jobber has had a wido experience of the bush of this district, says the Sauit Daily Star.
