Since the days of the Plantagenets thie Bassetts bave been seated at Tehidy, the seat of the present repre sontutive of the family In England. | In a list of the prominent Cornish fam- flies with whom the Bassetts have in- | termarried you find such names as | Trenouth, Trengove, Trelawny, Marrys, Enys, Carveth, Godolphin, Prideaux, Grenville and Rashieigh. Some of | these once prominent families have | since become extinct, but their blood rahe in the veins of the Bassetts, The two most distinguished mem: ers of the family In England are sald to be Sir Francis Bassett, vice admiral and sheriff of Cornwall In the time of Charles 1; and another Sir Francis Bassett, first baron of Dunstanville in the time of King George III, noted chiefly for his opposition to the Ameri enn colonists Just before the breaking aut of our Revolution. He held out persistently against peace with the American colonies, The first of the name In this country wus Willlam Bassett, who sailed from Fngland on the “Fortune” in 1621, He fived first ‘ut Duxbury, but settled feventuslly at Bridgewater.

Of cent moderate Sixty-three per cent have normal sight io the remaining 37 per eye defects were found in 27 per cent. The remaining 10 per cent, or one out of every ten of the 0.245 children ex amined had only one-half or less of normal vision That school life and conditions were | responsible for part of this is shown the fact that the vumber of chil. dren with marked defects of vision at | sixteen years of age was four times as great as those at six years old. In other words, ten years of school life had increased the eye defects to four times as many as when the child en- tered school. The most striking part of the report, however, is that which deals with ef. forts which have been made to correct these defects, Even among the older children, those from fourteen to sixteen years oid, only 28 per cent of those needing glasses had them. Of the children hav. ing one-half vision or less, only 10 per cent had any kind of glasses, Of chil dren having as low as 3 vision or less in both eves only 22 per cent had glasses, it is not strange that these children appeared dull and had poor records as pupils. A child who can only see one third or one-half of what he should see would hardly be expected to be a bril lant student. Yet these children were nll probably being blamed aml scolded by parents and teachers for being “stupid,” “dull” “lazy” or “vicious” when their poor little eyes couldn't see enough to get their lessons, Sending half-blind children to school is expensive and stupid. It is just as much the business of school boards to find out If the child can see as it is to build school houses and furnish seats and desks, Regular eye examinations of all school children each year would sort out the children with defective eyes, School authorities should then lmpress parents with the serfousness of neg. lecting defective eyes, so that all chil dren aseding glasses would heave them Because of its great dependability, Cham- pion X has been stand- ard equipment on Ford Cars and Trucks for more than 13 years.
