Jected almost one million men for illiteracy. / In addition, Surgeon-General Parran estimates that 6.1 per cent of the first draftees were rejected for venereal disease With seven million men in the Army. this means that more than four hundred thousand potential soldiers are out of service for this reason Eo We are inclined to believe that the Army should draft these men and cure them. They should not be exempted from military service be- cause of a disease that can be cured Moreover, they would not be an more dangerous in the Army than they are scattered am v f fans of the nation. : ong the avi» These figures indicate that close to one million five hundred thou- sand men, exclusive of fathers, are out of the Army because of illiteracy and venereal disease Calling them into service would do much to pre- vent the necessity of drafting fathers. gT ‘ to hay fever, asthma. eczema migraine or YOUR HEALTH I Centre County Hospital Notes Monday of Last Week | Discharged: Calvin Coble, Oak Hall Station; Mrs. Glenn N.

The regular public school cannot possibly provide ade- quate instruction for these children. They must be taught to read through their fingers. They must be taught special trades, ete. The State of Pennsylvania provides veral resi- dential schools which train the blind child. The expense of training a child in a school for the blind is borne in this manner: The state pays three-fourths of the cost: the local school district pays one-fourth (about $165). The only expenses to the parents are transportation, tooth paste, and the like The importance of early treatment for the visually handicapped child cannot be overstressed.
