PUPILS HAMPERED
By SLIGHT DEFECTS
Examination Before Start
Of School Regarded
Highly Important
"Before children are sent to
cbool they, should have their
eyes examined. says a bulletin
-Issued by the education, commit-
lee Oi 'me jti&xiun run wuij
medical-dental society. "Many of
the pupils In the grades who are
looked upon as backward and
dull by- their teachers, -are -often
suffering from some trouble of
the eyes." ' Probably "no: single
cause contributes more to back
wardness among pupils In school
than eye defects. -
The bulletin declares that
grownups are able to detect de
fects of the eyes In .themselves
but often are found to neglect
their chlldren-ln this regard.
-A person has only, one set of
eyes to carry him ' through life,
and when they are worn out a
iaw st not be installed.
'Grownups, as a rule, know
something of the care that should
be given to their eyes, but chil
dren do not, and we cannot start
too early to safeguard these pre
eloas possesslonir-f or them.
- "Babies, for Instance, sbouFd
sleep in a well ventilated but
carefully darkened room. If they
take their .daytime naps out of
doors, some arrangements should
be devised for shading their eyes
from the light. If the baby goes
out In carriage or go-cart for
his dally airing, the hood should
be tilted in such a way. that his
eyes at all times are comfortably
shaded from direct sunlight.
However the exposure to light
.which Is almost unavoidable when
giving a baby a daily. 20 minute
unbath does no harm.
"Equal care should be taken as
the children grow older to see
that, their eyes are adequately
protected. Children should always
have as much sunshine and fresh
of light Into the eyes should al
ways be avoided. It Is well to re
member, too. In connection with
any Indoor arrangements that the
eyes of children, like those of ad
alts, are best protected when the
light comes from the left side.
Indoor play quarters should al
ways be well lighted.
"Eye strain may develop very
early in life, and children should
be carefully watched . for any
signs of it. If the scowl or squint
when they look at a toy or at
their picture books, If they seem
dull and listless. It Is a wise plan
to have their eyes examined by a
physician who specializes In dis
eases of the eye. One year of age
la not too early to begin the treat
ment of cross eyes.
"The .earlier treatment is be
gun the better are the permanent
results that may be expected and
If treatment" la rt1Tfrt nn n
may become, for all practical pur
poses, permanently ouna. . chil
dren's eyes should be examined
as a matter of routine, before
they are sent to school."
