Defective vision among school chil- ‘dr and workers in the industries has, surveys in numerous towns and cities reveal, caused enormous econo- mic and physical losses, which, au- thorities declare, can be eliminated. Secretary Davis is in deep sympathy with the movement, particularly with regard to children, 3 “I am convinced,” he said recently, “that mankind owes no higher duty to society and to God than service to childhood, and that whatever we may be able to do to ‘ald the citizens of the future will earn a great re- ward.” Every teacher in the country, ac- cording to the council, is a potential ! g crusader for better vision, Teachers everywhere are belng glven instrues tions for tésting visual acuity, BSue- cess of the meverment, according to Its sponsers, will mean a definite physical advance in future generations of Americans. .
