CORNER
Your Wonderful Eyes.

Iris and Blind spot.
T USUALLY when we look at the
eyes Of a newborn babe, we
find that their color is blue. but
~ after few weeks We often
find that the blue has changed
to brown or hazel.
The colored part OF the eve is known
as the iris 1t is ring of muscle
fibers. and the hole in the middle is
doughnut. the pupil is place father
than thing.
There is dark coloring matter at the
back of every blue eye: but in the
case of brown eye or hazel eye ad-
ditional coloring or pigment, has been
added. yellow. white or reddish brown
pigments combine with the blue TO
form the several colors which We see.
Now and then tbut not very often)
an albino child is born A true aloino
does not have any pigment in his eyes.
They may be reddish or pink, but that
comes from blood vessels in the iris,
not from pigment.
Quite aside from its color. the iris is
of intense interest-fo~ 1t has special
power of motion. There are circular
muscles in it which pull it together
when the light is bright. making the
pupil small. In dim light. those mus
cles let go and the pupil becomes much
larger.
Since the pupil is just hole. we may
figure out easily why it should be large
in dim light and small in bright light.
Light rays do not pass through me
colored ring but through the mole inside
it. This hole the pupil, must be large
in dim light in order to let in as much
light AS possible.
The retina looks black, but it is not
really So If it we're black, We should
not be able to see the way we do. Put
on pair of dark glasses and notice
how different the world looks to you!
Doctors who treat the eyes send
beam of electric light through this pupil
which seems so black TO us. and thus
are able to study the retina which lines
the eyeball.
At the place where the fibers OF the
retina Join together TO form the optic
nerve. is the famous blind spot" This
is present in all normal eyes. If you
wish to prove that you have blind
spot place a cross on sheet Of paper.
Two inches to the right of the cross,
place small circle, say a quarter OF an
inch in diameter Hold the paper about
a foot from your eyes. Close your left
eve and look at the cross with your
right eye You should be able 10 see
the circle as we'll as the cross: but draw
the paper toward YOU slowly, and there
should come a point where df you do
this correctly the circle will vanish
from sight.

(By DR.. William E. Miller)
SCHOOL HYGIENE

In few days the public and private
schools of our community will open
for their annual term of instruction. 1t
is the duty of all parents and guar
dams to see that their children are in
school and deriving tie benefits there
Of In addition to seeing to the atted-
ance Of their children, it is the duty
of the parents and guardians to make
the school days of their children happv
and joyful days. To do this they must
prevent disease from attacking their
children, provide adequate food and
diet for their children, supply ample
facilities for play and recreation for
children and lastly instruct their child
rem in personal by -iene and cleanliness.
School children suffer from a number
of diseases. The diseases of the res
piratory system, lie, the nose, the throat,
the bronchi and the lungs, are the chief
causes of illness among school children.
The second great cause of illnesses and
absences in school children are the
acu,e infectious diseases, as, measles,
whooping cough, scarlet fever, diph-
iberia, mumps etc. Injuries and ac-
cidents each year cause a large number
of absence from school
The common cold is the enc disease
that causes more sickness than any
other disease. The time that is lost
rom classes each year due to illness
from this disease is greater than that
1910 70 any other diseas. Much can be
done to prevent the spread of the COM
mon cold to- all children if each parent
would only take adequate care of his
child. Practically the same statement
applies to any illness of the school
child
In conclusion remember that the well
school child has a decided advantage
over the sick school child Are you
giving your child all Of the advantages
that are rightfully his?
