Taught to Use Both Eyes.

The royal air force of England ha* Instituted an eye drill that has made many splendid pilots out of men who otherwise would have been useless. It was discovered that a large percentage of men only use one eye at a time, and in this early days pilots were not tested for eye balance. Many men were then passed into the air service who could never ’and correctly. When these deficiencies were discovered a school was formed and under an eye specialist twice a day airmen undergoing the cure were paraded for eye drill and taught how to use both their eyes at the same time. The result was that 95 per cent of the then who would have been bad pilot® became good ones in a little while.
