The presence Of hundreds Of young
sters Of all ages wearing glasses In our
public school should have adm0nished
the school authorities long ago that
present school methods or practices are
largely responsible for the impairment
Of the eyesight OF children. In many in
stances 1t II noted that before child
has passed through the primary grades
It II found necessary to embellish its
face with pair OF spectacles. While
the present tendency to cover with
glasses the face of childhood may be
partly ascribed to the modern industry
and persistence Of eye specialists, 1t IL
nevertheless fact that In the large
percentage Of cases there Is positive i'm
pairment Of vision and the glasses are
indispensable to study and to good
health. There is no longer any DISPOSE
ton to challenge the statement that
visual defects have positive and direct
effect upon the nervous organization,
interfering with digestion or heart ac-
ton or causing headaches and mental
depression. An investigation Of the eye
sight, or visual acuity, of children in
the public schools of one city. has re-
suited recently In some important dis
closures, among them being the fact
that 80 per cent Of the boys thus Far ex-
amined have less than two-thirds Of
the normal keenness Of sight, while 81
per cent Of the girls fall below two
thirds Of normal. It IL also ascertained
that the first three years Of school life
increase eye defects one-third. The
marked increase In the visual defects
In the nrst three years of school life is
attributed to the greater concentration
Of the powers Of vision in the effort to
learn to read. In older persons, where q
cursory glance at few letters In a line
Of reading reveals the meaning, the ef-
fort to read IL not attended with much
eye strain, provided the type Is Of good
size. In children however, the eye must
take in the form Of every letter in every
word. Increased eye defects In the
lower grades are also due to the fact
that the primary rooms are invariably
the poorest lighted. When 1t is known
that eye strain has a deleteriOus effect
upon the general health and that eye
defects are uniformly accompanied by
decline In mental power. amounting In
many instances to dizziness, 1t is easy
to Justify every movement on the part
of the board, no matter what the ex-
pense, to remedy these defects and to
remove as far as possible the causes of
visual impairment among school chill
dren. The rooms should be better light
ed and no text books should be allowed
in the schools that are not printed In
large type.

The developments" promiS ed 10 a re
cent issue OF the Montanian. ia speak
ing of the Fish Lake school, are becom-
ing apparent. The c0unty superintend-
ent presided at a hearing at Dupuyer
several weeks ago and rendered a decis-
ion ordering a new district and defining
it's boundaries. An appeal was prompts
ly taken to the county commissioners, by
a number of citizens who objected to
the boundaries of the proposed new
district, which gave it with it's one school
and 10 or 20 chlldren, practically all of
the Great Northern right of way, and
thus throwing the original district, with
it's three remaining schools and so to
100 children, upon its own resources, the
tax on 100000 OF railroad property go
ing t. the new district. The proceed
ings of the commissioners. as published
in this issue, state that the report Of
the county superintendent was approved,
but the boundaries specified in the re
port are essentially different from those
fixed at the hearing, and no mention is
made of the appeal. The right OF the
superintendent to amend her rider with
out due notice to all parties concerned
is questionable, We venture the opin-
ion that on account of the i~rreguiarit,
OF the proceedings, as a matter OF law
there is no Fish Lake. district, although
the action OF the newly appoint
ed trustees, last Monday, in descend
ing upon the scnool while it was il
session, tearing up the furniture ant
hauling it away in spite of the protest
of the Young lady teacher aud the ter
ror of the children, leads one to hop
, in all charity to them, that they be

The west bound passenger train on
the Great Northern met with an accid-
emf near Essex, at 2 o'clock Sunday morn-
n q, resulting ic the death Of one man
and probably fatal injuries to three 9th
ers. Jos. Kipp and Jack Miller, Of Kipp
n this county, both received severe cuts
on the head and bruises OH the body.
1t was at first supposed that the ac-
cident was caused by the spreading Of
the rails, owing to frost, but according
to press dispatches, later developments
suggest that the train was wrecked pur-
posely. The ACANTHA learned about
Nov. 1st., that a scheme vas being de-
veloped to wreck a traln near Mack a
few miles west of Essex, on Nov. 29tn.
for the purposes of robbery, and il is
probable that the plan was carried oul
with some slight changes. It was salc
that Charlie Jones the much wanted
bandit, was in Dupuyer a short time be
fore, quietly trying to persuade others K
join him, bat withouJ success. The
railroad companj was informed OF tht
project, bufsso far as we nave been aole
to learn, TOOK no action.

A FEW days ago friends IN Cuba Of
Maso, the democratic candidate for
president OF that island, sent tele-
gram to Secretary Boot complaining
that the influence Of United States
officers was being exerted In favor OF
Estrada Palma and asking that such
officers be required to keep hands off,"
Secretary Root yesterday addressed a
communication to Eligio Bensches,
president of the convention at Havana
that nominated Msso, relative to the
complaints that United States authori-
ties were interfering In the Cuban cleo
lions, stating that "it Is not necessary
Go tell United States officials that they
must not interfere In the elections"
The idea Of United States officials inter.
feriug with eleotionsl Perish the
thought. But Secretary Root In the same
message in which he says he will not
interfere adds: "They will have nothing
to do with the electoral contest except
TO enforce the electoral law prescribed
by the constitutional convention. This
will be done impsrtislly and effect
lively" Which of course means that
Maso will not be elected even II he gets
the most votes.
