ONE WHO IS SATISFIED.
An Optician Says the New Law il
All Right

To the Editor of the State Journal.
I have noticed the articles that have
appeared in your paper for the last day
or two relative to the new law passed by
the last legislature regarding practicing
opticians. As an optician myself want
to say 1 think the new law is all right.
1 think all opticians should study the
anatomy and physiology of the eye.
They should be able to know as much
about the eye as a physician, if not
more, because, in taking a course at a
medical college as much time is given
to every other part Of the body as to the
eye. DR.. Swan says: THE idea of MAX
ing a six months study of the anatomy
of the eye and contiguous parts is al
most amusing" 1 want to say that if all
physicians who graduate from medical
colleges would give six months study to
every part of the body, there would be
fewer physicians and their course Of
study would be fourteen years instead
of four
believe a person can learn the ana
tony of the eye in six months suff1-
GENTLY to fit glasses and also to treat
the eye medically I believe opticians
should abide by this law and make a
thorough study of the eye. It will make
them much more efficient in the science
of optics. In fact / do not see how an
optieian 0lnless he is an optician i'll
name only, and about two-thirds of
them are) would want to try and fit
people with glasses unless he had stud
led the eye thoroughly and had gradua-
ted from a reliable optical college You
will find that the ones that are com
planning the most are those who have
just picked it up and about all they
know about optics is a plus and minus
sphere-one for near-sight and one for
far-sight. And these fellows are either
in the drug, jewelry or merchandise bus
mess.
I think this law viii and ought to put
the science of optics in the hands of pro-
per persons-people who viii know how
to fit glasses scientifically and treat the
eye properly.
Yours very respectfully,
DIR. H. G. PALMER,
Scientific Optician.

His Illustrated Hand Book on Alfalfa
Is Out.

Secretary F. D. Coburn of the Kansas
board Of agriculture is the author of a
new book by the Orange Judd Publish
ing company on Alfalfa.
It's history, description and the varie-
ties are treated in different chapters.
One is devoted to an essay on its length
of life, and habits of growth; another
to the climate and the kinds of soil best
adapted to its growth and how to pre-
pare the seed bed and the best time and
method in seeding. Other chapters tell
of its treatment and use, its harvesting
preparation of the ground to receive the
alfalfa seed, and the disking and har-
rowing are also discussed. Another chap
ter is a treatise on the friends and enc
mics of the plants. Thus it will be seen
that the book will prove a valuable
text book to those who are about to
