Health And Beauty Many young children will start school this fall for the first time and most parents are anxious that they do well with their studies. These children should undergo a thorough physical examina tion by their family physi cian. particularly to pickup any congenital abnormalities that the school authorities should be aware of. It is also important to de termine if the child's vision is satisfactory. It is estimated that approximately 85 per cent of all learning occurs through the use of the eyes, so with defective vision the process of learning becomes quite difficult. To guarantee that your child gets a good start in school parents should be alert to the signs that will indicate possible eye trouble. Usually one or a combina tion of the following signs may be present: 1. The child complains of not seeing well or says the vision is blurred. 2. The complaint will often be that letters or lines "jump" or "run together." 3. Many children will com plain with headaches, dizzi ness, or nausea after using the eyes for close work. 4. In many cases the only complaint will be that of double vision. 5. Often the complaint is of the eyes burning, itching, or feeling scratchy. The child may often not complain of any of the above conditions but the ap pearance of the child will usually indicate some serious trouble. The eyes will appear inflamed or the lids will be reddened, encrusted, or swol len. This child will also often have frequent sties and others will have eyes that cross, or the pupils will appear unequal in size or shape. v>'!l A hove all. your wedding ri'llivU you. down lo ' lilt* smallest detail.
