On Prince Edward Island the public health nurses have- carried out screening tests in the schools. But as each nurse has about three thousand pupils, and 55 school nursing is only part of her

lprogram. the school term may be well advanced before the nurses. and therefore the teacher or the parent. suspects impaired vision, ‘In the rural school, with such .limlted nursing staff. a year or IOVCII more may elapse before the defective vision of a child is dis- covered. What. a. handicap for ‘such a child We know this me- ltllfld is inadequate,

Recommendations

1. That vlvaai ocully should be carried out in every classroom early in the school year by the teacher. That. lifter teacher-nurse discussion. children suspected of defective vision should be refer- red to parent for examination by oeullpt.

S. That more attention should be given to all that affects good vision. e.g.. blinds. decoration. painting of blackbosrds not in use with light colors. absence of glare. frequent washing of windows in- side and out.

With the co-operation of Mr. Miller MacFadyen and Mr. Claude Wood. Principals of Parkdals and spring Park Schools, the teachers effectively carried through the Snellen eye screening test. also in these schools.
