Survey of Industry Shews Eyes Of 10,000 Saved By New Scheme New York City, Sept.19 (UP)— Moré than 10,000 eyes and at least $46,000,000 were saved in two re- cent years among 583 plants, em- ploying a total of 500,000 workme: aceording to the report of a study entitled “Eyes Saved in Industry. published here today by the N tional seciety for the Prevention of Blindness and the National Safety Council. The two organizations set out to discover the total of authenticated cases of workmen's eyes saved from serfous injury or destruction through use of goggles or headmasks. The survey analyzes the records kept by the corporations d 1926 and 1 disclosing that in ditien to the neial economy 757 men and women weré s from serious injury or total blind- ness in both eyes during the two years. There were 4,654 recorde stances of workmen bein from a similar fate to one eve, mak- ing a total of 10,168 eves saved from destruction or serious injury. “In this study, the first of its kind ever made,” explained Lewis H. Car- ris, managing director of the tional Society for the Prevention Blindness, “it was assumed that an object which hit a goggle lens with such force as to pierce or-shatter the lens would most certainly h: so damaged the eye, if th had not been worn, as to ca plete or nearly complete loss of vi- sion. It was assumed, further, that every instance of a goggle lens be- spattered by molten metal or by cor- rosive or otherwise injurious chemicals, represented an eye saved “The hazards of industry have come to be one of the most serfous causes of blindness in America. There is, in fact, con- siderable ground for the belief t each year more persons are per- manently robbed of their sight by occupational hazards than by any other major cause of blindness “This is due largely to the fact that innumerable persons, employ- ers and employees alike, still do not réalize, or do not believe that it is possible to prevent accidental eve njuries in the particular occupations in which they are engaged. It is due also to the failure on the part of employers or employees and com- miinities at large to appreciate the tremendous financial loss resulting from the blinding of men and wom- eye plendid accomplish- ments of man v 1 fi the prevention of accidents in g eral, and specifically in vention of éye accidents, such acci- dents are still considered by many persons inherent or unavoidable ac- companiments of certain industrial processes. Despite the tremendous financial savings through accident prevention publicly and authentical- ly reported by some of the leading industrial concdrns of America, there are still thousands of employ- ers who regard as an unavoidable (though evil) necessity the payment of thousands upon thousands of dollars for destruction or injury of the eyes of their employees. “That these are misconceptions; that industrial eye injuries are | largely preventable; and that their | prevention is productive of enor- mous savings to employer, em- ployee and the nation, are con- vincingly demonstrated in the find- ings of this study and the interpre- taton of their significance.

China always hoasts of its 5,000 vears of civilization, but institutions of higher learning here go back only 50 years. This Na- tional University is only 31 years old. 44 Universities Then “But look at Europe. As far back as the 14th century, Europe had 44 universities. Indeed, there are many universities in Europe today with a continuous™ existence of eight or 10 centuries. Europe is therefore centuries ahead of China in higehr education.” Dr. Hu said the so-called lead- ers in China today reveal their lack | of preparation for real leadership.
