NAIROBI, B. E. A., Dec. 18. Tho
Roosevelt party left here today for
tho Uganda country where Homo timo
.will bo spent hunting. Kormit Roose
velt accompanied his father.
Both municipal authorities and the
general puhlio nro becoming moro and
moro alive to tho fact Hint in justice
to the children, the simple principles
of good artificial illumination must
not he neglected in lighting vchool
rooms. For there nro few hcIiooIm
which do not require a certain
amunt of artificial light, and many
during tho winter months, aro light
ed artificially Into in tho afternoon
nearly every day.
Considerable investigation in re
gard to tho conditions of eyesight in
school children has been curried on
recently both hero nnd abroad, The
results in many cases are of grout
significance. For example, Dr. Her
man Colin of Hreslau reports that
short-sight hardly exist among the
pupils in the lower grades, hue be
comes more and more prevalent un
til among tho pupils who remain 'ii
school fourteen years, 0,1 per cent
are found to havo imperfect sight.
Dr. Maximilian Bond! of Vienna, re
ports similar high figures. In Amer
ica, conditions seem to bo approxi
mately tho same. Tho Vermont leg
islature, In 1005, begun a study of
the eyesight of children in tho schools
and recent ruiwrts nhow that 111 per
cent of thoHO children were found to
havo defoctivo vision. In Now York
of 58,0-18 children recently o.xnmined,
17,038 or 30 par cent wuro found to
hnvo defective vision. A oirculnr
issued by tho United Stntos bureau of
Information shows that near-sightedness
steadily increases from class to
class, until in the highest grndos of
the public schools as many as (10 to
70 per cent of children havo defec
tive eyesight. Mnny similar figures
could bo given, but tho above are
sufficient to show tho importance of
tho subject. It is true, of course,
that all defective eyesight cannot bo
attributed to poor artificial lighting,
but the connection is sufficiently ev
ident to emphasize tho necessity of
paying gront attention to proper illumination.
