The same afternoon another COM

charged with having stolen money from
his fathers pockets. With all of the

Good Boy at Home.
At home the boy was good and obedi-

soon as he left the home and entered

larger cities of the east where this line
of investigation has been carried out
for several years, ii has been deter
mined that more than one-fourth of
the school children suffer from lateral
curvature of the spine. This is directly
or indirectly due to the eyesight of the
pupils being impaired.
Many Children Suffer.
A large percentage of school children
who appear TO be dull and -inattentive
in their studies, who are nervous irrita-

from headache, dizziness, nausea, or
pains in the eyes and head, are the vic

trouble is not suspected as the actual
cause of their complaint.
Examination was made of more than
5000 school children, In Utica. n. Y,
recently, and this examination disclosed
the fact that from 80 TO 80 per cent were
defective. Many cases where the chill
dren were considered dull or wilfully
inattentive to their school work were
shown TO be due to the inability of the
pupil to fully see or hear what was go
ing on about them. Similar conditions,
differing only in degree, have been
found wherever similar examinations
have been made.
Nose and Throat Important.
Any obstacle TO the natural breathing
space through the nose, whether the
obstruction is caused by malformation
or by diseased condition, causes the air
TO be taken to the lungs in an improper
manner. The majority of such cases I'm

properly warmed, and the amount of air
taken into the lungs is not sufficient for
the child.
The obstruction may occur in the nose
or in the upper part of the throat, by

Deafness Affects Nerve Centers.
The look of constant strain on the

BY D.. ROBERT p. HAMPTON.

Every one knows that children who
do not properly see can suffer from a
great variety of diseases, the symptoms
of which do not in any manner refer to
the eye. A great many cases of mi
graine or sick-headache can be referred
10 some visual error. In many cases
where children are afflicted with eye
trouble one would not know IT by a
cursory examination. Teachers in the
public schools have charts by which
tests are given of the eyesight of their
pupils but the charts cannot detect all
of the troubles of the eyes with which
children suffer.
There is no peculiar effect visible in
the physical systems of the children,
but visual trouble is often the basis
for other physical ailment and diseases,
and is the cause of symptoms of dis
ease. Defective eyesight causes nerv-
BUSINESS and iTrita bility, and puts an eX-
tremely heavy tax upon the entire nerv-
Gus system
Eye Strain is Responsible.
Eye-strain is the cause for many
complaints, and the consequences are
serious to the child, particularly to the
child in school. Wherever the eye
strain comes with what is termed near
range" work, such as reading, writing,
sewing, mechanics and other similar

| that produces disease.
| First, of course, is the disease OF the
eve itself. Good oculists have agreed
that a large majority of the local eye
/ diseases are due either directly or in
directly to eye-stram. Among the few
exceptions that hight be noted are loss
| of accommodation, or presbyopia; some
! tumors and few minor affections, as
well as albinism. Cataract it has been
determined, is due to the morbid func-
| ton of denutrition. caused by the strain
| to neutraliZe errors of refraction, and
may be prevented by wearing the right
kind of spectacles long prior to the cat
aract stage.
! Eye-strain is also the cause OF eyes
turning in or out, that is. strabismus or
/ squint.
! Strain upon the eye is also the cause
of cerebral or brain trouble. The irri-
tation of the constant strain affects
] the nerves leading to the brain, and the
-disorders of the eye are passed on to
the great nerve center. The primary
| indication of this is migraine. or sick
headache. and it may be safely said
! that 80 per cent of headache is caused
| by defective vision.
Mental Diseases Follow.
Mental diseases follow readily. There
is WEAKNESS. with which hyperexcita-
bility is followed. The patient feels the
need of the open air with much walking.
Truancy to escape the toll and weari-
ness of the school also follows. There
