MESSAGE EROM THE DEAN TO THE CE!-XSS OE 7950 .ff , f 'i dr , -jx' . AN RALPH H. GREEN, O.D., D.O.S., F.A.A.O. Dean of the Massachusetts College of Optometry LOOKING FORWARD The deepest part of knowledge is the knowledge of ourselves, that knowledge which the human mind acquires in its flights into the many facets of life. The teclmical knowledge gained while a student of the Massachusetts School of Optometry has prepared you to make a successful job of your professional career. but in addition to the technical knowledge gained you have been taught to think and to assume responsibilities. After registration you assume the responsibility of caring for the visual needs of your fellow men. You are legally and morally charged with this responsibility by your registration. You have reached the end of your formal eilucation and it is our belief that you are adequately prepared in the art and science of optometry. However. it is well to remember that the professional optometrist can do no more for his patients than his belief in himself permits him to do. Your sincere belief in the philosophy that the patients welfare comes first and your own welfare comes second will insure your own professional sua'- cess. You should not only be interested in your professional work. alt-rt to all the forces which affect your profession. but you should also be a good citizen of your community. your state. and your country. XVith these thoughts in mind, I formally bid you fond farewell and wish you Godspeed, happiness, and success in your life's work. PAGE FIFTEEN

BOOK REVIEW: NEXV IVAYS TO BETTER SIGHT, by Har- ris Grunzanf, O.D.,' 207 pages with IHIISILIYI- tiorzsq copies flirecfly azfuilnlzlff from the author at 40 X. Eiglulz SI., IJUIHIIIOIIV, Pu., 53.50. The need for a book such as this has been long in optometric literature, and the gap has been ably filled with this volume. This is a book which explains optometrys role in the care of vision in non-technical terms which the average man on the street will have no trouble understanding. It is about time that optometry has a book which it can present to the public in which the optome- trist finds himselii the hero, and not the vil- lain as in the past. After giving the distinction between an optometrist, ophthalmologist, optician and oculist, and the history of optometry, the author delves into the fine points of Child- ren's Eyes, Improving Sight After Forty, Far Sightedness and Astigmatismf' Near Sightednessf' 'Sight for the Blind, Color Blindnessf' Sight After Fortyf' Better Sight YVithout Glasses, and You and Your Optometrist, as well as a host of other sub- jects, unravelling the mystery of the eyes easily and instilling the layman with facts about his vision and his optometrist with un- usual ease. Each optometrist should see to it that sev- eral copies of New Mfays to Better Sight are found in the local library, on his recep- tion room table, reading centers or any other places where optometry's story can be got across to the people. Dr. Gruman must be commended for filling such an obvious need in your optometric library and has given our profession another most valuable book.
