...style method of testing animals' eyesight is to train them to respond to certain visual stimuli. This is laborious, and in the case of some refractory creatures, such as snakes, frogs and Gila monsters, virtually impossible. At the University of Rochester a promising, extravagantly polite young scientist named John Warkentin is investigating animal eyesight with a more efficient technique which requires no training, last week made public some of his findings...
...which, while apparently too screwy to be endured, is too subtle to be burlesqued. In this class were two noteworthy exhibitions of paintings in Manhattan last week. Both were highly admired by artists and students familiar with modern art. Each provided exhilarating exercise for eyes trained on visual commonplaces. Because nine out of ten people want about as much exercise from painting as they want from a warm bath, neither artist was likely to become popular with the man-in-the-street. But it was extremely improbable that either would come in soon for such horseplay as Buffalo enjoyed last...

Bowlin, is on the lookout for signs of inverted sight in other pupils to catch slight tendencies in that direction that can be corrected. He stands behind a child, calls him unexpectedly. If the child turns his head to the left rather than to the right to see the principal, it is considered a sign of inversionist tendencies...

This is one reason why contemporary painting in general shows distortions which once belonged only to caricature or ineptitude. Last week an interesting U. S. distorter, Philip Evergood, had his first one-man show in three and a half years at Manhattan's A. C. A. Gallery...

He took a "visual education" teacher out of classes to make the photographs, appointed a junior high-school principal as editor. Ten thousand copies costing $10,800 were distributed free to civic leaders, libraries, universities, clubs, public officials...
