JOHN'S favourite "buddy"

came to tea the other day wearing glasses. He was inclined to swank about them and told us how "the doctor tested his eyes on a machine.

What surprised

me was his obvious comfort and his improved looks. Un- til now Tony has always looked rather disagreeable, although I know him to be a good-tempered creature.

The only one of my nephews and nleges who wears glasses is Selina. And she'll be able to discard them in a year or two because her eyes are being strengthened by special exercises. There was nothing wrong with Selina's eyes except laziness. Specialists are beginning to discover that some children must be taught to see.

and a good many eye troubles occur because eyes are not used.

EYES

YES eat light. The quality

and

quantity of light affects thers enormously. Children should sleep in darkened rooms and do their work in a good light. The light should fall on the work and not on the child himself. It turni- ture were arranged and lamps chosen there for their fitness of purpose would be much less eye strain among children... and grown ups.

Before school days is the time to take special care of young eyes. Because the child has no set "aceing tasks" there is very little check on his eyesight, and the trouble may only be discovered later at school. Headaches, stupidity, unaccountable naughtiness, undue clumsiness, and what is called "a deceitful look" can all be sure signs of eye trouble.

XERCISE is invaluable and

be can practised by any child who has good sight but who is working overmuch with his eyes. Selina does her ten minutes each First day in five minute stretches. she watches a bee" buzzing in a circle round her head. Her eyes roll slowly round in one direction and then in the other. Next she closes her eyes as tightly as possible so that her lids press against ine eyeballs.. and blinks them slowly three times after each shutting.

This exercise immediately relieves strain and tightness and the deli- berate blinking lubricates the cyc. Her lazy eye-she has only one-is made to work alone while to focus her sight on details at a far distance and then to switch them suddenly to a point quite close.
