As mentioned in my last report, the importance of colour vision testing in the schools
must be stressed as helpful advice can be given to totally or partially colour blind boys
regarding future employment and the younger this is done (from 11 years) the better,
so that the colour blind boy does not come to his school leaving medical examination
with his thoughts directed to employment in the Merchant Navy, or as an engine driver
or electrical engineer only to be disillusioned in the last months of his school career,
but he and his parents can adjust their ideas on his future from an early age.
