Co. EYE TALK
(TALK No. 222.)
Bad Practice.

I suppose that every one has seen
mothers or nurses go TO the cradle
and hold a bright toy two inches from
baby's face Did you ever notice the
painful effort the poor little fellow
makes 10 turn his eyes TO so close an
object? If those who make a practice
of attracting baby's attention in this
way would realize for a moment what
an enormous strain is thrown upon the
eyes they would never do it again. If
you will hold this paper just as close
TO your eyes as you possibly can and
make out the type, and continue TO
read In that position for a moment or
two you will have something ,of the
same feeling. 1 believe that more
children become cross-eyed from this
one habit than from all other causes
combined. The farther away the OBJ
sect the better for the child's eye.
