The Medical Record has this to say about
the practice Of burning lights at night In the
bedrooms of children: The common prac-
lice Of having lights in the bedrooms Of chill
dren Of well-to-do parents is deprecated by
DR.. Robert II. BakewelL He says that 1t
has most injurious effect upon the nervous
system Of young children. 'Instesd Of the
perfect rest the optic nerve ought to have,
and for which nature provides by the dark
ness of night, these nerves are perpetually
stimulated, and, Of course, the brain and the
rest Of the nervous system suffer. Children
thus brought up arc excessively nervous for
