Sidelights in Schoolrooms.

Within year or two an important
modification has taken place In the
views of certain French experts in re-
gard to the proper mode of lighting
schoolrooms. Every architect knows
that for the last ten years the invariable
rule for school buildings on the Cont
nent, followed also very generally in
England and the United States, has been
10 restrict the windows of the rooms to
one side, and to seat the pupils 50. that
the light should fall upon their desks
only from the left; this being supposed
to be less fatiguing to the eyes than the
illumination resulting from the admis-
sion of light from two sides; and the
planning of schoolrooms with windows
arranged so as to give cross-lights has
been generally regarded as conclusive ev-
idence that the designer was ignorant of
the first elements of school architecture
In 1870 or 1880, however, DR.. laval, the
tory of the Sorbonne, undertook pro-

Biological Society, ON, Myopia in
schools. A considerable portion of the
report was devoted to the question of the
proper orientation and lighting of school
rooms, and he was led to prefer, for all
schoolrooms of greater width than thir-
teen feet, plan by which light was adj
mitted from two sides instead of one. In
rooms of greater width than this, when
lighted only from the left, the illumina-
tion of the most remote desks was at
times inadequate for clear and comfort
able vision, and of all schools which he
examined those which showed the great

were some of recent construction where
the accepted theory of fenestration had
been most vigorously carried out On
the other hand, the statistics obtained
did not indicate that any injurious effect
of this kind was produced upon the eyes
by cross-lighting, provided that the il

UP THE LANE.

It Is dark, and cool, and shady,
Up the lane;
And there goes little lady
Up the lane. e
On the grass the dew Is sparkling,
Though the night the grass is dark ming;
But the summer moon is rising
'OTime to go" it is advising,
"Up the lane,''
For the moonrise was the token,
Up the lane.
That fond words were to be spoken
Up the lane,
So the little lady hurries- -.ti
Far of flee all cares and worries,
And her pretty face is flushing
AS she hears swift footsteps rushing
Up the lane. -, ~
Night-moths at the flowers are slipping,
Up the lane:
Swift and sweet the hours are slipping,
Up the lane; 3
Trees majestic shadows fiinging,
Firefiies glancing, crickets singing,
And white moonlight sitting over
Happy maid and happy lover,
Up the lane. q,
