Every one of the boys were delighted with the Islanda. Tbe first and most lasting impression was the pleasing clenli 'neas of everything. The houses are ibullt of the coral rock, which is very soft when first cut but it is quick to harden. Every honse is whitewashed every two years at least; all the roads are macadamised from the coral rocks. No auto or motor cycles are permitted on the island.

In the Interest of the people of Washington and Beaufort eounty Ahd for the uplift and advancement of optometry to try to make it clear to the people of this eounty Just what an optometrist is.

An Eyesight Specialist and an Op- tometrlst are practically the same. Bat an eyesight specialist or an octt- i list has the power to administer drags, medicines' and to make surgical operation for diseases of the eyes, i it Is the doty of every optometrist I to examine patients who come to with errors of refraction and moscular anomalies ot the eye2 and ' to At glasses for the improvement of vision and relief of eye strains, head- i aches, etc. It U also his doty and ' 1f he is a competent, honest and capable man he will refer diseased condi ' tloni to occnllsts and medical doctors. Bnt there is still another class of men who sell glasses and It Is to this class that I have special reference. In writing this article it Is my pur( pose to protect you from them. They , claim to examine the eyes and At glasses, bat are not registered optometrists.
