Excerpt from The Inheritance of Blindness: The Contribution of Eugenics to the Reduction of Eye DiseaseThe certification of the blind, however, is done in a very haphazard way in this country, and the real causation of blindness is not truly shown, so that the figures in Table '2 are only approximate. A child, I should explain, is considered blind if it can not read school books with safety to the eyes while the criterion for an adult is the capacity to do work for which eyesight is necessary.I have recently been on a sub-committee which has made strong recommendations to the Ministry of Health to improve the registration, and if this IS done, heavy blind figures will very shortly be forthcoming.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
