Sight Saving

Closely allied in purpose with the American Child Health Association is the National Society for the Prevention of Blindness. Last week the Blindness Society's President William Fellowes Morgan and Managing Director Lewis Herbert Cards issued their 15th annual report.

Proud were they that their society had stimulated the formation of an International Association for the Prevention of Blindness at The Hague last September.

Prouder were they that through the society's efforts 350 "sight saving classes" for the education of children with serious defective vision are now functioning in 95 cities of 21 States. The pupils use texts with large type, have movable desks so they can shift about the class rooms with the changing daylight, get special teaching.

However, the U. S. needs approximately 5,000 such classes. To train teachers in the special pedagogic technique special courses will be given this summer at Columbia University, the University of Chicago, the University of Cincinnati State Teachers' College at Buffalo.
