A MINUTE WITH RELIGION
Over in Dresden, German# there
is a large art gallery that
boasts of Germany’s' greatest art
treasure. It is a painting by
the world famous artist Raphael,
The portrait shows a woman hold
ing a babe in her arms, and thorn
are little winged cherubs at
her feet. The picture is not
unusual until one looks at tho
face of the woman. There is only
one thing written there, but it
is the most important thing in
all human life. It is the great •
sceptre of the empire of humanity
-- love for the babe in her bosom
— love that is pure, unselfish
and holy, love that can bo bestow
ed by a mother. It is the fam
ous Sistino Madonna, Mary the
mother of the Lord. I any men
have gased at that picture, and
not a few have come away with a
greater appreciation of tho warm
and tender love which they re
ceived from their nether, A
week from Sunday, May 14th, we
shall again observe Mothers’ Day.
Once again children everywhere
will by seme token return the
affection that mother has given
then. No less person than
Abraham Lincoln once remarked:
‘•'All that I am or hope to be I
owe to ny angel mother." Certain
ly everyone can re-echo the words
of the Crcat emancipator. God
bless Mother.’

84/o OF VISION DEFECTS IN SCHOOL
CHILDREN STILL UNCORRECTED
Twenty-one eye and car examina
tions were made by Dr,Works,
ophthnmclogist, during hi3 two
day visit in Palmer, April 26th.
and 27th, Of the twenty persons
examined, twelve were adults;
six school children; and two, pre
ochoole rs.
It was encouraging to know that
one third of the adults examined
were already fitted with glasses
but had taken this opportunity
for a check-up. The periodic
eye examination is vitally im
portant in maintaining corrected
vision. It was also encouraging
to sec one pro-3chooler fitted
with glasses, since the earlier
vision defects are recognized
and treatment begun, the greater
are the chances of a more complete
correction of the defect.
A report of the eye examinations
of school children'Is' not so
favorable. Only five examinations
were made. Three of these
children were fitted with glasses.
With just these three corrections,
there remain 16 or 84$ of the
original nineteen, with unconnect
ed, and possibly serious defects.
While .vacation Is just around the
cornor and classroom work will
be temporarily discontinued, par
ents arc remindod that there is
no vacation for the eyes and
that valuable time may be lost
if they wait until fall to see
an eye doctor.
Two school children had ear cx
.arainnt ions.
