BY F. Rodgers, opt. d.
It is apparent that more children
are wearing glasses than used to be
the case, and the question frequently
occurs as to the cause of this state
of affairs. 1t Is undoubtedly the fact
that the average child now-a- days has
more school work than formerly, and
among all classes the eyes of the
child are being used for near work
to a greater extent than was the
case generation ago.
During the growing period of the
