[The child's vision and its measurement. Comparative results of different tests of visual acuity in children as a function of age].

The authors describe a new test for determining the visual acuity in pre-school children. It is a picture-test which is composed by pictures of animals of varying sizes, the child being asked to name them in turn. The six pictures (duck, rabbit, cock, elephant, fish, and butterfly) with an homogeneous density, can be utilized according to several manners-appariement or verbal expression--and several distances: 2,50 m or 5 m. That test gave good results on children aged from three years upwards, however the performances could be increased by prectising exercises.

[Current status of teaching pediatrics in France in the medical curriculum].

On the basis of a surgery performed by a questionnaire sent to all French medical schools (44, out of them 30 replied), the authors describe the current status of the teaching of pediatrics at undergraduate level. The 1970 reform, introducing a block teaching system, made easier to teach pediatrics made easier to teach pediatrics as an autonomous entity. But it leaves a lot to do with a view to improving the situation - in spite of the excessive number of students - by a better definition of the pedogogical objectives, a better integration of basic sciences, a broader place for small group and bedside teaching, a greater emphasis on the social aspects of pediatrics, and by the organisation, for the more motivated students, of optional courses.
