Parents of these children have been notified and advised to have the children given prompt medical attention. Four of the five affected children are girls. Two girls at the Fairview school were found with very defective eyes, one of tbem not being able to see only about one tenth as good as nor mal eyesight would permit. They were aged 12 and 10. Two girls were found at the Garfield school with badly defective eyesight. One of them was unable to see figures on a blackboard ten feet away, and the other was nearly as bad. One boy at Garfield was found with slightly crossed eyes. One of the lad's eyes is nearly blind. One of the girls at Garfield, aged about fourteen years, was found to be suffering from acute nearsightedness. Many other pupils were found who were suffering from slight ailments, which was not thought necessary to call attention to now. Numerous cases of adenoids, en larged tonsils, and bad teeth were found. All cases are recorded by the ex amining doctor who describes the af fliction of the child.

AID IS ASKED FOR CHINA'S STARVING The policy of the committee in charge of relief work is: To save life is the supreme aim. To give relief without pauperising only in return for labor, except in the case of those unable to work. To make this labor count in prevent int future floods. Dykes and canals will be repaired, and all work will be planned by competent engineers so as to give it a practical place in a larger project of reclamation. To Induce the Government and local gentry, as far as possible, to give im mediate relief and to undertake their own reclamation work. To cooperate with Mr. C. D. Jame son, the engineer sent out by the American Red Cross Society, and with influential Chinese who are pledged to this work, in making a thorough study of the situation with a view to the formulation of a program of conserva tion, which the new government will probably undertake. To make the alleviation of suffering in connection with this famine the oc casion of a great expression of inter national goodwill to the New China. The China of yesterday feared and hated the foreigner, and not without reason. The New China will . respond to friendship. Send your contributions to Dickin son Trust Co., today.
