Why They Should He Made Part Of the
Public-School Curriculum
DR.. Worms. medical officer to the
.Chemin de Fer du Nord. has recently
published report, and presented 1t to
the French Academy of Medicine.
Among 1,173 railway officials whom he
examined, in 224 the visual power for
colors was imperfect Independent of
any other lesion: 118 hesitated in dis
tingui,hing the different colors; A dis
tinguished red easily, but COMPOUNDED
green. blue and gray; were perfectly
color-blind; 63 COMPOUNDED red. green
and gray. Those who presented an
alteration of chromatic power sufficient
to prevent clear distinction of signals
were not intrusted with the care of a
train. The examination of railway
servants before they are employed by
the company excludes men with Dali
tonism from being employed in running
the trains. DR.. Worms states that the
proportion of color-blind subjects was
five per cent. Many others. however,
did not distinguish colors clearly. These
officials had been submitted to an ex-
animation previous to that made by DR..
Worms. who suggests that color exer-
cises should be included in public in
Struction.-N T. Post.

The c..ss Of One Of the Most Rapidly In.
ersasing Weaknesses.
Near-sightedness is increasing in our
country to an alarming extent 1t was
comparatively rare century ago, but
now it affiicts large proportion of the
children in our public schools. 1t is one
Of the evils created by civilization, and
is almost unknown in savage life. An
official inquiry in Germany indicates
that this evil is more common there
than in the United States, and that it is
the direct result of bad habits of study.
The physicians who made the examin-
alton report to the Government that in
children of five years old the vision is
generally perfect During the school
age the defect increases steadily. In
the lower schools from fifteen to twenty
per cent of the schOlars are affected;
in the higher schools the proportion
reaches forty to fifty per cent 1t is far
worse in the professional schools; reach
ing fully seventy per cent. of theology
cal students, and over ninety per cent.
of medical students. The physicians
ascribe the trouble to the poor print Of
the textbooks, and to the general habit
of holding books too near the eyes. II
might be well to make similar exam
ination in our own country, in order
that public attention be aroused to pro-
vide. if possible, cure for this grow
ing evil. 1t is grave misfortune il
public education creates q near-sighted
