They are doing things over In Ala
bama!
They have recently had an educa-
' aal survey of the state at a cost
nearly twenty-five thousand dol
All this Just.to find out defl-
' what their needs were! Tho
jray It was brought about, the Leg
islature appropriated ten thousand
dollars, and the United States Bureau
of Education did the rest. The Bu
reau of Education made the survey.
r waa done by specialists. There was
specialist In rural education, and
specialist In higher education, and
has In administration, and one In
home economics, and one in agricul
ture, and one In child health, and
•0 on—soiye twenty or moro all to-
.gather. Their report Is published by
the Bureau of Education, Washington,
pad can be had for the asking.
In that survey Chambers county wu
■elected for health studies, if you
jrere to take the elates ot Georgia and
Alabama and pot them together.
Chambers county would be almost In
the middle. So tbat for all practical
purposes It represents Georgia about
aa well as does Alabama. The find
ings In Chambers county ought to In
terest Georgians.
Studies were made In the schools
of Chambers county of eyee, .lids
tsstb, height, weight, nutrition, ad
vancement and retardation. This Is
lust to tell you about tbe eyee. The
rest will be saved for another story—
tar several otber stories.
The best general eye test at oar
disposal Is known as the “Snellen 1
Tbe Snellen test consists of a chart
of letters. The top row Is of very
large letters. The next row la not
quite so large. The third row still
less large, and then they get smaller
BBd smaller to the bottom.
™ w of letters Is labelled,
showing bow far away it can be read
*7 the normal eye. The top row can
be read at a distance of two hundred
toet, the next row one hundred, then
afchty feet, fifty feet, twenty feet, and
ten feet.
To use tbe chart It Is hung up on
the wall, and* the child placed back
twenty feet from It. One eye is test
ed « a time, the other being covered
but not dosed. If bo can read the let
ters tbat should be read at twenty
feet, be baa 20/20 vision in that eye
or normal vision. Dut It he can only
road those that should be read at
tarty feet, be has 20/40, or half vis-
Jon, and so on.
