"The care of the eves is only a part, but an important part, of the program that you must intelligently work out with your children in the kindergarten and primary grades if you are going to send them into the upper grades prepared to get the most out of their school work," said Miss Campbell. "Many children have defects of vision which are easily corrected, especially during their early years, but one child out of every five-hundred in the public schools is so poorly equipped with eye- sight that he is handicappéd for his school work and for his life work." Miss Campbell emphasized the fact that frequently children from well-to- do homes, as well as those from settle- ment districts, suffer in this way with- out anyone being aware of the fact, thus making it doubly important that the teacher be on the alert to detect any indication of such a condition. The development of a "Sight Saving School" in every school system was strongly advocated by Miss Campbell. In such a school every possible oppor- tunity and aid is given to the child who is not blind but who is not fully seeing. "There are at present only 250 such schools in the United States.: More than half of the children in these classes are there because the eyes are not of the right structure. Many are St. John's Wilmette and Park avenues, Wilmette. Herman W. Meyer, M. A. pastor. 406 Prairie avenue, Telephone 1396 Church telephone 3111. SERVICES Fifth Sunday in Lent: m.

TO SPEAK AT COLLEGE "So You're Going on a Vacation," is the subject of an address to be given by the Rev. Stephen A. Lloyd of Wil- mette before the students of the Na- tion Kindergarten and Elementary college next Tuesday afternoon. The lecture will be given in Harrison hall during the regular chapel period, and is most appropriate as the students leave for the spring vacation at the end of the week. through the establishment of these classes it is possible to save many of the 'borderline' group." "Help these children to realize their privileges and to minimize their de- fects," said Miss Campbell. "They will there because of injuries to the eyes | in babyhood, some are there because of diseased conditions which may be helped during the early years, and | with other have to live and work with other people--help them to work and play children and make the finest possible preparation for a happy life in the ordinary world." "HERE it is housecleaning time again. I wish 1 knew of some way to make it easier." "But I found my biggest help years ago. When I'm ready to begin cleaning, I call Mestjian Brothers to come after my rugs. They do wonderful work-- you know they've been in business here for years and years and they clean rugs from the finest homes on the North Shore. When I'm through cleaning, my rugs are always ready again--and Mestjian Brothers make them look just as they did when they were new." estjian Jorother Sil MAIN STREET - WILMETTE {Wilmette 1949 University 5050
