Many of the ranches in southern
California are in close proximity to the
forest rescrves-largc protected areas
which must not be deforcsted by AK or
tire. These reserves are created part
ly for the protection of the water
sheds. and are therefore of benefit to
all the inhabitants of the district. I'm
der certain conditions grazing is per-
mittcd "n the reserves, but Il much
better growth of fec is produced
when the underbrush has been burned.
AS this means dollars and cents to the

advantages from setting the forest on

SCHOOL-LiFE AND SIGHT.
Disadvantage of Poor Vision Hand
caps Many Students.

The increased demand that the EXT
gencies of the times makes upon the
eyes as Well as upon the brains of
children should be accompanied by a
corresponding increase in the use of all
the alleyiations and precautions that
science and humanity can suggest.
The sense of sight is the chief me
dunn Of education and it is hardly
possible to oVerestimate the import
arce that its organ is in proper work
ing order; what ever defects that exist
should. as far as possible, be remedied.
Though great advance has of late
years been made in this direction,
much still remains to be done and
many children in the critical period of
school life labor under disadvantages
that little care and attention might
easily remove.
The case of children with long sight
is particularly liable to be misunder-
stood, because their greater ability to
change the focus of the eye by in
creasing the conyexity of its lens en-
ables them to mask a degree of this
defect that would manifest itself att

or even by dimness of distant. vision
Such child is handicapped in the
race with his classmates; he may be

print and may get on well enough in
