near work that continuous mental
effort is required.
Lighting an Important Factor.
The subject has many sides, the
lighting OF school rooms, the arrange
mept of the desks, the design and
proportion Of individual desks, the at
titude of the scholars. the amount of
work required, are all factors of i'm
portance; but they cannot be consid-
cred here. Our present effort is di-
rected to the standardizing of school
books, a very important step in the
desired direction
Small print leads the young
scholar to look too closely at his book.
He is not yet familiar with the forms
of the words, and his eyesight has not
yet reached its full acuteness. For
easy vision he must have retinal inn
ages larger than those which satisfy
the trained reader. To obtain these
larger images he brings the book too
near to his eyes, or his eyes too near
the book, and this, for the reason al
ready given, is apt to be INJURIOUS
Hence the Importance of establishing
certain standards of legibility for
school books. having regard to the
ages of the scholars who are required
to use them, and of employing only
such books as reach these standards. :"
The accompanying illustrations
show the size of type considered
proper by the committee for children
of various ages. 1t holds the opinion
that paper for text books should be
hard, smooth and Opaque. and prefer
ably white or cream-colored; that Ink
should be black; that type should be
hand-set, and never In double col
umns, and that type-face should be
clean-cut and well defined, with little
contrast between the finer and heav-
Ter strokes. The report declares:
THE size of the type-face is the
most important factor in the infiu-
ence of books upon vision. Legibility
depends mainly on the height and
breadth of the short letters, for the
larger the type the further from the
eyes can 1t be read with ease, and 1t
is of the first Importance to induce
the young reader to keep a sufficient
distance between eyes and book.
Children under years old should be
able to lean back in their seats and
read from the book propped up on the
far side of the desk. CAS- a rule, books
should not be too large or heavy TO
be held in the handy

Instead of Grumbling
Buy Hub-Mark RubberS

The average person buys rubbers
only when a storm is imminent, and
takes what the salesman puts on his
feet without ever looking at the brand.
Then, on general principles, he frets
about the price and criticises the
quality. The whole trouble is--he
has no confidence in his purchase.
Try Hub-Mark rubbers this winter,
and you'll never feel that way again.
They'll give you satisfaction; you'll
buy them season after season. II
we weren't sure of it, we couldn't
afford to advertise. We depend upon
your repeated purchases to make good
the cost of advertising.
Get a pair of Hub-Mark rubbers;
keep them reasonably free from dirt
when not in use, and they will give
you generous service.
