making sixteen points. He threw two
field goals and eleven fouls, and won
an extra point for throwing a field
goal while being interfered with.
Riley, as usual, was in the game with
his good work, throwing two field
goals. The splendid work of Potter
deserves special mention, while Davis
and Cozart played well.
Faucett starred for the visitors,
throwing three field goals. Edwards
threw one field goal and pocketed
seven fouls.
The attendance was good and en
thusiasm was high throughout the
'game.
This was the sixth game that the
college has played this season and
has won five out of the six. They
have a . series of games scheduled
with the varsities of A. M., Wake
Forest, Guilford and other colleges,
and it looks like a splendid prospect
for victory in a majority of these
games to be captured by Atlantic
Christian College.
The prospect for a winning base
ball game is the best ever. There
are more baseball players among th
college men this year from whom to
select a team than ever before. The
fact that Mr. Zollie Winstead will
coach the team this year again in
sures the proper training and coach
ing of the players. A fine schedule
of games has been arranged for the
baseball team, a number of them to
be played on the local diamond.

point out the causes for much of

of these children 47 are offspring of
consanguineous marriages more than
17 per cent. Specialists are not all
clear that the marriage relations is
the cause of blindness and other de
fects. Suffice it to say, however, that
these figures cause one to "Sit up
and take notice."
The question again recurs: Can
Blindness be prevented? In view of
the statistics given herewith it is
clear to my mind that a large propor
tion of blindness is preventable. Sta
tistics go to show that the marriage
of persons congenitally blind or with
serious defective vision is often fol
lowed by the birth of children them
selves blind or partially blind. It is
safe then to suggest that no two pers
ons who have in their veins the blood
of congenitally blind parents ought
ever to marry persons in like circum
stances. Statistics go further to show
that blindness is more liable to occur
along collateral lines than in direct
lines.
It is mere speculation to say what
might have been the conditions accom
panying the "80 cases of unknow."
I am led to fear, however, that this
may possibly be a hiding place made
use of by parents of some children.
I am fully convinced that the 79 at
tributed to Ophthalmia neonatorum
might have been prevented if proper
medical attention had been given the
eyes of these children immediately
after birth. And when one reflects
that this is more than 23 per cent of
the whole number enrolled one can
readily answer the question at least
partially Can Blindness be Prevent
ed? And when we add to these fig
ures 33 others whose blindness was
caused by accident the number of
cases of preventable blindness is con
siderably enlarged making nearly 30
per cent of the whole number. Are
not these facts sufficiently startling
to cause our law makers; our phy
sicians; our health officers and our
parents to think seriously?
Another question naturally arises:
What shall we do with the children of
our State who are already blind?
There have been nearly 400 in the
State School for the Blind at various
times during the past two years and
yet I have the names of more than 100
others who have never attended the
School and who can not be admitted
for lack of funds and room. The fact
of the business is that the school is
now so overcrowded as to cause serious
apprehension as to the health and
safety of those already enrolled. The
maintenance fund of the school is less
pro rata than it was 18 years ago.
Because of these conditions the num
ber of admissions at the close of the
past fiscal year was' 46 less than it
was two years agar and it has been
found necessary to reduce the num
ber of teachers and to shorten each
session in order to live within the in
come. With all these handicaps, more
than 80 per cent of the graduates of
the school blind persons are self
supporting, self-respecting citizens of
their respective communities, bread
winners in the race of life. With
these facts staring us in the face will
