CORRECTING rHE BLACKBOARD.

A philadelphia physician. In discuss
ing forms Of eye strain to which chill
dren are subjected. especially con
demns the school blackboard because
Of its reflection of light. The remedy,
he says. is very simple. The board
should be hung out of plumb enough to
lose the glare from the window, and
the chalk characters should be made
large enough for every pupil to see"
Precisely what he means by hanging
the board out of plumb is not clear,
but experiment would show whether
or not a change from the exact perpen-
dicular would improve conditions. II
the glare can be done away with by
readjustment Of the board, then II
should be done In every case, for there
is no doubt that 1t does cause eye
