Defective eyeslght, writes William
Allen Johnston In the April Circle
Magazine, calling attention to the ne
cessity of guarding the health Of the
little people, Is even more common
than defective nearing and usually
more disastrous IN results.
A Chicago physician states that the
number of "short-slghted" children in
this country to-day runs away up into
the millions. And this great army of
little weddings may be made healthy,
robust children by the timely and
proper fitting OF glasses!
Besides defective eyes and ears
there are many other nervous irritants
which either escape the parents eyes

the case-or else they are voted too
trivial to need correction, The skilled
physician can find them; he knows,
too, that while there are quicker ways
deliberately to wreck a child's health
there is no surer and more deadly
course than the neglect of these "triy.
ial" abnormalitles.

The case is cited OF little girl who
had grown to be a hopeless "liar." She

stomach and this was caused, It was
found, by a single crooked tooth

In the medical inspection of the
New York City schools, 1t was found
that thirty per cent were backward.
Putting the matter in the light OF
economy, the city was wasting three
million dollars year in teaching chill
dren who were physically unfit to re-

of backward children over ninety-fve

we find the following article
which no doubt refers to Eka-
laka as one Of the Smaller

surance line:-
During the summer of 1907,
after considerable correspon-
dence and a personal conference
between this department and the
officers of the board Of under
writer's Of the Pacific, we were
assured that the matter of re-
rating the different towns in
Montana would be commenced
and carried on with all possible
haste. The work Of the board is

cannot get on without the paper. -
Another citizen, being asked To sub
scribe for paper said; mo,
times is hard, and | can do without
papers all right" There you are.
Two good men, both of them honest,
and both telling the truth from their
point of view, but each just opposite
the other. Much depends upon the
point of view every time. One man
can't get along without newspapers
He looks around, and often upwards
His horizon is wider than the narrow
valley in which he lives. His eyes
are in front of his head. and he
walks with head erect. He wants
TO know what is going on in his com
munity and the country generally.
He has an appetite which cannot be
satisfied with the husks which his
swine eat. He is right. He "can-
not get on without the paper" and
books and information. The other
mans view point is just the oppo-
site. He "can get on without pa
pers.' His horizon is bounded by
the hills and peaks of his narrow
valley, to the tops of which he never
ascends to get n telescope view of
what lies beyond. His eyes are in
the front of his head, too, but he
walks through the earth with his
gaze fixed at his feet. He lives be-
meath stars he never sees, amid mus
ic he never hears. He has an appe-
title, too, but one that which reject
ed husks can satisfy. His home
-four walls-is void of newspapers,
magazines, and perhaps the Bible.
He can "get on without them," he
says, and he is correct, many men
do, even without the Bible. Such
q life is not very high one, but IFS
life all the same, and many people
live it. All depends upon what
kind of eyes man has i'm his head
like potatoe, he may have eyes
and yet not see. The view point is
everything. What world would this
be if all of us were moles.
