and joltings over the roads,"
There is, however, quite a formida.

Those ailments are due almost en-.
tirely. however, to speeding and to
fear Of accidents.
The auto eye, for instance is a
spasm of the ciliary muscles which
govern accommodations for distances.
To this those who have errors Of re-
fraction are especially prone. Speed

devious ways the sight is constantly
attracted to objects now near and now
In the distance. and thus an abnormal
strain Is placed upon the visual me-

motoring too seriously. and when they

Wisdom and Economy.

When the fact is before our eyes that
the present Central High School had on
November % an enrolment of 1,O97 stu
dents, and that the size of the new
building as agreed upon is to provide for
$50 pupils, LOO in excess Of our present
enrolment, We insist that it is the part
both of wisdom and economy to make
the new Central High School a combina-
ton school in order to take care of the
overflow Of enrolment from the Business
and William Mckinley High Schools,
thereby Obviating the necessity of going
to the expense of erecting either an adj
ditiOnal business school or additional
manual training school in the near flu
ture. If this recommendation is followed.
the Central High School with it's pro-
posed capacity of 900 pupils will be able
to take care of the increased enrolment
in the high schools of the central and
western portions of the city for many
years to come, and l have no doubt thou
sands of dollars would be saved thereby
