POOR EYESIGHT MAWES IDLE PUPILS Hrd
More than eighty-three thousand children in the rural schools of Pennsylvania were discovered to have de-
tective eyesight during the medical inspection made in the school year of 1914 and 1915 under the direction of.
Commissioner of Health Samuel G. Dixon. Of this number 1,184 had defects of the right eye, 1,750 had defects of
the left eve, and 53,814 had defects of both eyes.
The chart shown in the above picture is used in making the tests for errors of vision. Defects of the eyes are
probably the commonest cause of children’s failures to make their grades and progress with the other members of
their classes. Astigmatism, near-sightedness or far-sightedness often make it impossible for them to see the
figures on the board or cause headaches and discomfort when they are obliged to apply themselves to the study of
their books. This often results in apparent indifference or idleness on the part of the pupil wkich is very apt to
be misunderstood by both the teacher and the parents, and the child itself is equally blameless and ignorant of the
trouble.

Does Reading send you to sleep?
»
If it does, don’t blame the story, don’t condemn the
type or the printing, don’t imagine you've weak
eyes, for the fault is probably with your lamp.
And it’s a fault that is easily remedied—all that’s
needed is a Rayo Lamp. By its clear, steady,
white light you can read on and on, get the full pleasure
out of reading and without a trace of eye strain. But to
get the most and best light from a Rayo Lamp, use
ATLANTIC
Rayolight
Combined they give the finest light money can buy, an econom-
ical light, too, ideal for reading, sewing or playing. Your dealer
can show you a Rayo Lamp specially designed for parlor, sitting
room or kitchen, from $1.50 up. And each of these rooms needs
one—Rayo Lamps are easily cleaned and last a lifetime.
As for Atlantic Rayolight Oil, it is the one kerosene that burns in
lamp, stove or heater without smoke or smell—gives a great
volume of clear, white light, and an intense yet cheap heat.
And, do you know, thousands of clever housewives have told us
they just can’t get along without Atlantic Rayolight Oil for polish-
ing furniture, washing windows, keeping lice off chickens, clean-
ing painted woodwork, etc., but mind you, for these purposes
“ordinary kerosene won’t do them—they must have Atlantic
Rayolight Oil. Ask for it by name—costs no mote than the un-
known kind. The dealer who displays this sign
ean always supply you. It's wise to get it by the barrel.
