CRIMES AGAINST THE EYE

While man Is Gods masterpiece
of perfection in all creation. the eye
is the most delicate, complex and
most important organ of his body.
Ever exposed to thousand dangers,
and subject to a multitude of dis
eases-cften injured by overtaxa-
tion, affected by many causes that
serve to impair its usefulness, it is
nevertheless the most imposed upon,
most neglected, and usually the
least scientifically treated when out
of order of any other. special part
of mans anatomy.
Every day we see evidences of the
proneness of men to postpone the
putting on of helpful glasses until
permanent injury to the optics has
been sustained. Too often also is it
the case that people neglect proper
treatment of minor defects of the
eye which might have been readi
ly cured but procrastinat until
radical injury or ruin is a result
Parents are especially often neg
ligent of the eyes of their children,
and thereby suffer them to become
permanently defective in vision and
thus to grow up inefficient for the
accomplishment of the highest
achievements in the mission of life.
Much of the crimes against the eye
is due to the ignorance of parents,
much to proerastination on the part
Of persons afflicted, and very much
to incompetent doctors and opti-
clans, who attempt to do that for
which they are lacking in skill to
do.

matter of correctness in the fit

mastery of these laws must be
made by every optician before he
can enter intelligently upon his

can do perfect work.

the usual years of apprenticeship re-

the old country, he mastered the arr
of architectural construction, as well
as the trade of carpenter and joiner
Like many of his countrymen, the
lure of the west entered his heart; he
could not help but know that in the
United States his skill could be EN-.
ployed to better advantage than in
the fatherland.
Trondjem is a seaport town, visited
every year by different nations for
pleasure and on business, and the
land in the west was not only pleas
ing dream to it's people even in the
early days, but reality, both its
advantages and disadvantages were
fairly we'll known.
Accordingly, in the year 1881, he
bid farewell to his native land and
started for the new home in the west,
arriving at Duluth, where he had no
difficulty to find employment.
