SURVEY REVEALS Only 34 Pe;_ Eent of 1,860 Examined | Here Found Free From Defects—Ordi- “ nary Tests Called Faulty. 1 Stressing the importance of looking for unnoticed defects in supposedly | normal eyes, the Eyesight Conservation Council of America today made public the results of a survey conducted in Washington, which showed that of 1,860 school children examined, only 3.4 per cent was found free from defects. This large proportion with eye defects does not mean that the other 96.6 per cent all needed glasses, because the results include all slight errors. The coun cil points out that the conclusions of experts in the Public Health Service were the glasses were nceded by 34 per cent of the entire group and that glasses were recommended for reading and studying for an additional 10 per cent. One of the physicians who took part H in the survey explained today that in [ these tests in Washington the eyes were studied more minutely than is done in L | the usual school vision test and conse- : quently revealed errors that do not show up in the simpler eye tests.

The message received by the Green- land administration was as follow “Machine reported absolutely without doubt from Fiskenaesset.
