Good eyesight is a priceless pos-
session. Of the five special senses-
hearing, seeing, feeling, tasting,
and smelling-that of sight is the
most important, for probably nine-
tenths of one's knowledge reaches
the brain though this sense.
One often remarks that seeming-
ly more people are obliged to wear
glasses than formerly and that
quite likely the eye is becoming
more defective as civilization ad-
vances. However, when one consid-
ers the demands made upon the
eye by close application and con-
tinued use in the several trades,
professions, and school work, he
learns that many young people
wear glasses not for the reason of
improving the sight, but for the
purpose of relieving the eye Wsmcles'
of strain imposed by daily routine,
work.
Many students, although they
have apparently normal vision, ex-
perience considerable eyestrain fol-
lowing close application to, their
studies. The symptoms of eyestrain
are redness and watering of the
eyes, blurring of the print, drowsi-
ness, fatigue, headache, and even'
sore lids and styes. Properly fitted
glasses as advised by a physician
usually relieve these symptoms, not
by curing the eye condition but by,
compensating for the musculaL ef-
fort used in prolonged study. With-
out such care the student may tire
easily, feel sleepy, have a tendency
to lose interest, fail to concentrate
fully, and even develop headache
which prevents further use of the
eyes.
Thire are several conditions
which are associated with the de-
velopment of eyestrain, such as
p olonged use of the eyes, faulty
printing, faulty lighting, glare,
squint, 'diseases, and defects in the
focusing mechanism of the eyes.
Faulty illumination and glare arnd
very common causes of eyestrain
among students. Direct illumina-
tion causes considerable strain. The I
most important feature essential
for good lighting is to guard thea
position of the light, so that it does
not shine directly into the eyes, or,
is not reflected from. the printed
page into the eyes, as glare. Por
general purposes, 'the best position
for the light is somewhat above
