Cosmosis is a geological event that created a unique art form in a large rock over a billion years ago. It was discovered by Jim Quack­ enbush in 1975. In 1979, a Stanford Univer­ sity geologist stated that he had never seen minerals that had developed into "such artis­ tic forms." Indeed, these artistic forms, sam­ ples of which are shown in Plate 10: Cosmosis, are unprecedented in art history. These art­ works convey a pictorial story of Earth's his­ tory. The Cosmosis research was completed in 1994, resulting in an exhibit of 175 mas­ terpieces. This exhibit is on tour in United States schools as a "hands-on" science, art, and history presentation.

The Cosmosis artwork project provides children with an opportunity to use their eye­ sight with many of the principles and artistic qualities of natural vision including: creativ­ ity, fine detail, colors, texture, and three-dimen­ sionality. Cosmosis artworks have been used in Natural Vision classes for over a decade. For more information, write to: Jim Quack­ enbush, Cosmosis, P. O. Box 721, Joshua Tree,

CA 92252.

The following letter was written by Emily A. Bates "To the Editor of The New York Times." The article is entitled "Carrying On Dr. Bates' Work," on July 18,1931, p. 12:

I wish to express my gratitude to R. R. A. for the fine tribute he paid my husband, William H. Bates, M.D., in his letter in The

New York Times of July 16. What he said was true. I myself have had the honor and the privilege of assisting the doctor in his research work during a period of six years at the Physiological Laboratory of the Col­ lege of Physicians and Surgeons in New York City, also working by his side for nine consecutive years at the clinic of the Harlem Hospital. I have also had the priv­ ilege of instructing students in his method of [reversing] imperfect sight without the use of glasses. I am now going on with the work, which he left for me to do, in an edu­ cational way. There is a Bates Academy in Johannesburg, South Africa, where students of Dr. Bates are doing his work, and we have representatives in Germany, England, and in various cities throughout the United States.

Emily A. Bates. New York, July 16,1931.

"July 16" in the first sentence is likely a typographical error because the date R. R. A.'s letter appeared in The New York Times was July 15.

The Natural Vision Center has been training Natural Vision teachers since 1986.

The Teacher Trainee does not need to have clear vision to become a Natural Vision teacher. If you already have clarity, you will simply be teaching others the correct vision habits you already have—and the ones your students want to relearn.

Natural Vision teachers who teach children to improve their sight are especially needed.
