GOOD RULES

They say that no pupil should be so
far away from the window that the sky
line Is invisible from his seat. As long
as a bit Of sky IS in sight on all ordi-
nary days there viii be sufficient light
10 read by.
There should be no artificial light in
the schooIroom except on the very dark
est days. and when light is necessary
it should be electric light only. for this
more nearly duplicates the sun and its
rays dlnuse evenly.
Every desk should &c such a height
that the book lying upon the top Will be
ten inches from the eye OF the student
when he IS sitting erect. and no book
should be used IN any school unless the
print is large enough TO be easily seen
at distance Of eighteen inches from
the eyes.
So much for the school children But
the school days are not the only ones
when care must be taken OF the precious
eyes. There is no time OF life when any
one can afford TO neglect them. particu-
larly II ones daily bread depends upon
ones sight
To save your sight DO not read while
lying down nor while seated in any NOV
ing vehicle The change OF focus IS
strain upon the six delicate muscles
upon which your eyes depend. Sit erect
in good light and hold the book ten
inches from the face. For evenings at
home the German students lamp Will
be the most satisfactory illumination.
For the sake Of these muscles. too do
not read when you are sleepy and when
the eyes feel tired or the head aches.
