prevalence OF shoTt.sightedness among

apparent in the facts recently collected by
Professor Pauger. OF $4,000 children in
schools Of all grades lately examined more
Than half were found to be suffering rom
short sight, while IN some schools the pro-
portion Of the short sighted was 1850 per
cent; and in one-the Gymnasium at
Heldelburc-there was actually not one
scholar with good sight. The number Of
naturally short sighted students on the
other hand, Is only 10 per cent, SO by Tar ne
greater part OF this mischief Is u to mis-
management. Among the causes oil the
evil on which Professor Pfngcr lays mos
stress are badly.lighted schoolrooms, ~
