Too much attention cannot be paid
to the question of light in the school
room, says Youths Companion. Many
children are made premature wrecks
from unrecognized eye strain, and
school visitors may often see small,
helpless children sitting blinking in
large window in front of them. making
frowning efforts through the glare to
read from blackboard and using up in
few hours the nerve force of week.
Light should be abundant and should
come from the left side, so that no
shadow is thrown on slate or book, as
is the case when the light comes from
behind or from the right.

Rise of the American City.

According to Mr.. Walter Wellman,
in an article in McClure's, the end of
the century census Of the United
States tells no more wonderful story
than the rise of the American city. If
we assume the official standard of
1000 as the population requisite for a
city, we find that at the beginning of
the century there were only sixteen
cities in the United States, with total
population of 235,3OS. At the end OF
the century there are 1854 such cities
with total population of 2S,049,593.

Not Only Dangerous, but Destroy
Benuty of Street.
Among the city nuisances with which
the coming years will have to deal en-
ergetically is the numbering of the
streets with overhead wires, says the
Springfield (Massl Daily Republican.
a network of wire is not only ugly in
itself, but it destroys the beauty of n
street. No one who has seen busy
thoroughfare cleared of all this wire
rigging overhead can fail to have noted
the great relief to the eye the effect Of
trimness and largeness given by the
removal of all this cumbersome appara-
tus, which is as out of place in a pub
lie thoroughfare as q clothesline in q
parlor.
The transfer cannot be made all at
once, and it is already going on slowly.
1t is to be seen to with vigilance that
there be no needless delay in effect
ing a change which is imperative on
both unitarian and aesthetic grounds.
Here the representatives of the people
will from time to time have an oppor-
tunity to do good work, not in an I'M
reasonable spirit, but with steady firm
ness.
The ideal, not to be reached at once,
but some time, Is the common great
conduit underground, built and owned
by the city, and giving room for all
wires. The mechanical difficulties are
considerable, but not insurmountable.
Cambridge intends to try the expert
ment, and when there are sufficient
data Springfield will doubtless be
prompt to adopt system bringing 50
substantial relief.
