brightens tho Intellect and how pupils should be sent from tho schoolroom at recess and noon In order to get all tho fresh air they can If children are continually found on tho radiator he said there Is a possibility of them needing medical assistance Tho question of the tlmo Is ho continued that it Is not far distant when air will bo 8orcd tho same as water In our homes and schoolhouses through laps thus giv ing us pure warm useful fresh air Teachers should watch the thermometers In their rooms more closely and get all tho fresh air they can by means of the transoms and windows He advocated good position of the pupils at their deska weak eyes curvature of tho spine and man > other diseases ho said result from bad position Among the little ones the position should bo changed ns often as possible The Germans have tried rings placed In front of children and required them to read write and look through them This brought about good position for which they had been laboring Ho spoke of when ho was In Vienna a few years ago and saw the women In the capacity ca-pacity of hodcnrricrs Each carried a section of a barrel filled with bricks on tho top of her head They walked straight and very erect How scientific and healthful such an exerclso would be today In which children would carry things upon their heads ho said It would assist In a great measure In obtaining better positions

not know very much about the diseases of children they may be able to tell when an oculist 1 is needed Defective vision should be looked Into at a very early period for I children often seem stupid when the real trouble IH they cannot see Three things that aro very Injurious to tho eyes and need looking after very carefully are shortsightedness farsightedness and stlK mnllsm One of these or all may ho started from poor light the light should nil fall from the left side then no trouble p with the eyes Is encountered The windows win-dows should be as hlfch as possible and I the blinds should bo hung from tho bottom bot-tom not from the top Tho desks of the pupils should bo HO arranged that the material ma-terial which IH used would be nt right angles with the plane of vision The book I should not be lint upon tho desk aim there t Is a new arrangement of desks In some places so that n sldo of the desk may ho elevated at an angle < of 15 deg for rending 1 The teacher should write with a strong firm hand upon tho board t > o the child will bo able to sco without any straining of tho eye It would be better for the eye If tho maps Which arC used would contain Just what needed and omit all superfluous towns rivers etc Shortsightedness Short-sightedness and Btlgm tlsm arc more serious seri-ous than any other dlnenses of the eye and may finally result In blindness so great care should be taken He read extracts ex-tracts from physicians In Europe and this country relative to testing pupils eyes I and they had that a great percentage of children have something tho matter with their eyes llo gave somo methods 01 testing tho eych tho use of letters circles I des and dots Ho Illustrated part of his address by means of drawings upon tho board Thc musical part of the procrramme was I
