Book excerpt: Excerpt from Third Annual Report of the National Committee for the Prevention of Blindness, Inc: December 31, 1917 Our Field Secretary was called on to serve as lecturer to the soldiers in the army camps by authority Of the Surgeon General's Department, and entered upon that work. But so deeply was the need Of a more intimate and complete service to the soldiers borne in upon Mr. Berry by his experience in this camp work that he volunteered for service in France with the Y. M. C. A. And was immediately accepted. The New York State Committee for the Prevention Of Blind ness, a standing committee Of this organization, proceeds upon its way Of active and effective educational work in New York, under the leadership Of Miss Louisa Lee Schuyler. A notable contribution to the effort for sight saving is the invention, by the Secretary, Of a series Of talks to mothers and to the Little Mothers' Leagues, in which she has adapted fairy tales and folk stories to the carrying Of our message to those who need most to hear it. The American Medical Association held its annual meeting in New York in June, 1917. The Section on Ophthalmology provided for the continuance Of the sub-committee on Conserva tion of Vision Of the Council Of Public Health and Instruction, Dr. Frank Allport, Chairman, with Dr. Walter B. Weidler, Of New York, as local acting chairman, its work to be done through the National Committee for the Prevention Of Blindness. It is gratifying that we may have the privilege Of thus serving the Association. Our membership has increased by steady additions month by month, until practically every state in the Union is repre sented on our list. England, Canada, China, and the Philippine Islands contribute members, and our mailing list Of interested and inquiring people shows Alaska, Hawaii, Panama, Porto Rico, Mexico, India, Scotland, South America, and New Zealand to be conscious Of our existence and confident Of our usefulness.
