    The purpose of this study was to attempt to begin the process of preservation of the languages spoken on and near the Colville Indian Reservation in Washington State. It was further hoped to stimulate others, native speakers especially, to record, either on tape or in writing, those aspects of the language still in their memories. This work is intended to be used to assist the younger tribal members in learning the languages spoken by their elders.The \u27dictionary\u27 is listed in alphabetized form for the Teaching & Learning-Colville section only. That is, the Colville words are not alphabetized in Colville (nor in Teaching & Learning \u27order\u27). Each dictionary entry contains an Teaching & Learning word and as many translations into Colville as could be readily obtained. These entries often contain approximate equivalents, other words often associated with the Teaching & Learning entry, and words which have nearly opposite meanings. Phrases and sentences which employ the \u27entry-word\u27 were listed whenever possible. Attempts were made to offer other words which the author believes Will assist the learner in grasping the essence of the Colville meanings intended. For example, the entry for the word \u27wing\u27 includes references to arm, flank, and fly.The dictionary is designed to be used with the aid of a native speaker or someone who can accurately describe the manner and place of production of the sounds of the Colville Language

    Visual development in childhood and common eye problems

    No full text
    This article provides a guide to normal visual development and an overview of assessment when visual development is non-standard. There are some indications of non-standard visual development that can be established prior to language development, but assessment is easier once language has developed. However, waiting for language to develop when there is a concern is not advised, as early identification and appropriate supports will provide better outcomes. \u27Common eye problems\u27 offers a short overview of watery eyes, conjunctivitis, squint and pseudo strabismus, infection of the eyelids, cellulitis and foreign bodies in the eyes. While children\u27s eyes are susceptible to the same diseases as adult eyes, there are also some that are specific to paediatric cases. Children are also less likely to complain about visual problems, making the need for adult observation more acute
