greatly reduce the number Of blind"
The one defect above all others which has
to be taken into consideration is nearsight-
edness. This defect Is SO widespread and
important a disease that 1t has received an
amount Of investigation which for extent
and for thOroughness along all lines of re-
search few diseases can equal. The main
thing that these Investigations have proved
Is that near-sight Is an attribute Of culture,
and that the public schools are the main
hotbeds for the propagation of this defect.
Thus acquired 1t gradually develops in
youth, frequently eventuating in those de-
structive changes in the interior Of the eye
which render those so afflicted totally unfit
to pursue any commercial calling.
Now, the question arises: How is such
defect acquired in our schools? What are
the preventatves? The main cause Is un-
doubtedly the STOPPING habit in reading or
writing: The excessive convergence re-
quired in reading, etc, at the close distance
which such STOPPING necessitates renders
pupils gradually myopic by the elongation
of the eyeball, due to the excessive ten
sion there by the muscles Of conveyance.
All that is necessary in this case is a meth
cd Of instruction that will force the pupil to
keep the head and body straight, while
reading or writing, and well-constructed
seats and desks, which should be adapted
to the varying size Of the scholars, SO that
they may not be forced to adopt a bad at
titude Of the body. 1t must be remembered
that the most perfect provision as to the
lighting will not suffice If there be uncor-
rected optical defects causing eye strain
and 1t Is Of the utmost Importance that
parents should be notified when visual de-
fects are suspected, and certainly when
signs are manifest. inability to use the
eyes with comfort or to the blackboard
the habit Of bringing books, ETC., close to
the eyes in reading, undue winking or blink
ing. aching of the eyes or headache.
Some of the causes of injurious eye strain
might be avoided by the blackboards being
washed weekly at least. and letters and
figures large and plainly written thereon
Working blackboards should never be put
between windows.
These are some of the things that the
school board would do we'll to take into
consideration A circular embodying such
suggestions If sent to teachers would do
much toward preventing the ever increasing
number Of pupils who are graduating with
eye defect. VIM. G. KINSMAN

A COMMON DISEASE, WHICH IS BY NO MEANS
THE RESULT OF IMAGINATION.
Undoubtedly many nervous people suffer from
troubles purely imaginary; diseases which exist
only In the mind Of the patient and such troubles
furnish fertile field for the quack we'll for
faith healers and Christian science treatment
However, there Is one common and annoying dis
ease which is In sense Of the word lima ginary,
and that is Piles
Pile sufferers do not need q physician to tell
them what il the matter; there II obscurity
about it. Neither will a simple lotion ointment
1t. You cannot deceive a pile sufferer into be-
lieving he Is being cured, because the pain and
itching from which he suffers is imaginary and
cannot be cured by Imagination A pile remedy
must have unmistakable merit; 1t must relieve the
pain and cure the disease speedily it win be
condemned.

MONEY THEORIES DISCUSSED.
Addresses Before Economic Society
by Prominent Financiers.

Addresses Before Economic Society
by Prominent Financiers.
1.-The Quantitative Theory of Money was
discussed at a meeting last evening at the
Ebbitt House by the Washington Economic
Society. Lyman G. Gage, the Secretary OF
the Treasury; George E. Roberts, the di-
rector of the mint, and Prof. Joseph French
Johnson of the University of Pennsylvania
made addresses. Secretary Gage said the
definition of the quantitative theory of
money as stated by the classic school head
ed by John Stuart Mill should be restated.
He was not prepared to accept the old form
ula that there was a direct and absolute
relation between the volume of money and
prices He pointed out the increased oper-
ations of credit, which, he declared, make
money so useful that the Mill definition
cannot be accepted outright. The rapidity
of circulation also is an element, said Mr.
Gage, which must enter into a right consid-
Grafton of the Quantitative theory. In con-
clusion he declared that while there is a
relation between the volume of money and
prices yet it is not arbitrarily fixed. The
element of credit, which is capable of in
creasng indefinitely the power of money;
must be considered in stating the theory.
Prof. Johnson was disposed to accept the
quanttative theory. He declared that
credit is not a substitute for money, but a
device for making it more useful. Conse-
Quently the supply is of the utmost impor-
tance, since credit at most can only magnify
the usefulness of the money stock
This theory also found an advocate in Mr.
Roberts. Il suppose" he went on, there
can be no better statement of the broad
theory than that made by John Stuart Mill
that the value of money, other things being
the same, is in the inverse ratio of it's
quantity; an increase lowering its purchas-
ing power and a decrease advancing 1t in
exact proportions. To double the quantity
of money would double prices and to halye
the quantity would cut prices in two. This
is because money money has no other
use than to buy things. If the number of
things for sale remains the same and the
demand for them the same, but the medium
of purchase is doubled in quantity, 1t must
ultimately be that each purchase will nee
essarily absorb twice as much money as
before"

CHILDREN'S EYES.
An Alarming Increase of Defective
Vision Among Public school Pupils.

An Alarming increase of Defective
Vision Among Public school Pupils.
To the Editor Of The Evening Star:
The board of education has lately adopted
a set of rules for the government of the
public schools. There Is absolutely nothing
to Indicate that even ordinary consideration
has been given the greatest problem that
confronts educational directors of the pres
ent day, the prevention Of increasing eye
defect among children. The current appro-
priaton bill provides for the construction of
eight new school houses. involving an ex-
penditure Of over 100000, and the condi-
tions insisted upon making little or no pro-
vision for the immunity of eye defect. Out
of ten rules bearing upon temperature. etc,
only one would indicate any consideration
for precious eyesight. viz:
THAT in each class room the window
space shall not be less than one-fourth the
floor space, and the distance of the desks
most remote from the window should not
be more than one and one-half times the
height of the top of the window from the
floor"
While this serves the purpose of diffusing
light properly. which is necessary. 1T does
not impede or bear any relation to the con-
ditiOnS which are more largely tributary
to the present increase of eye defect. Little
fault can be found with modern school
houses and their equipments, but much
fault can be found with existing apathy re-
laws.
1t is an established fact that very few
children are born with perfect eyesight.
Recognizing the fact that every defect of
vision is progressive, if not corrected, and
that the ratio of progression is generally
according to the amount of near work in
dulged in, it will be seen at once the grave
circumstances that confront those who are
responsible for educational conditions.
Childhood, then, is the time when the
greatest care should be exercised. The eyes
and the brain are developed together, and
the same prudence that is exercised in the
allotment Of subjects for study. and in the
systema tizing of school government, should
be accorded everything that pertains to the
allevation of eye strain. 1t is the duty and
within the scope of teachers to prevent
much eye defect.
In an extract from the sixty-frst annual
report of the Ohio state institution for the
blind. in which there are 301 pupils, the
head occulist reports that 35 per cent of
the cases Of blindness are the result Of
preventable disease. He further says: 1T
