Ouf eyes are not degenerating. The eyes of the present generation--are in mo wise poorer, weaker, or inferior, to those of our ancestors, notwithstanding the fact a far greater percentage wear glasses than formerly. The probabilities are that the eyes of the human race are neither weaker nor stronger today than were those of our forefathers, unless it can be proven that the whole physique of & the race today is weaker or stronger. As is the whole physical body, so are the eyes, says the Journal of the American Medical association. But much more is required of our eyes now than was ever required of our ancestors. The strenuous strug- gle for existence today, the ever in- creasing complexity of our modern civilized life, the multiplying knowl- edge of the world in all lines of hu- man endeavor, knowledge that must be mastered if we would rise and achieve success, put far greater strain on the eyes of -this generation than on those that have gone before. Our schools are far more,exacting and severe, the business and scientific ‘world requires closer application and more painstaking care than ever be- fore. Electricity has turned night into day, and much more work is now done by artificial illumination than in the past. Sharp competition in ev- ery line makes it necessary to have the best vision obtainable. Becguse of these exacting demands on our eyes latent imperfections, er- rors of refraction causing eyestrain, are. brought out and made. manifest by symptoms of discomfort and dis- tress, compelling us to seek the im- provement of vision and.the comfort afforded by properly fitting lenses. Investigation has shown that primitive races of men have the same irregularities in shape and form of the eyes are found in civilized races. The difference lies in the occupation, out of door life, and. the. limited use made of the vision by the savage races. ] ExamMation of the eyes of the In- dian students at Carlisle and other Indiap schopls shows. that ahout 30 per cent of them hayve. refractive er- rors, and need correcting lenses. This is approximately as large a percent- age-as is exhibited by the white races: Even the lower animals show the same irregularities and imperfections in,shape.and form of eye which gives rise to the discomforts.caused by re- fractive errors in man. Some. years. ago, an. enterprising. and intreped oculist in New. York City, succeeded by means of the re- tinoscope in. measuring. the refrac- tion of:the eyes of many of the wild animals in Bronx Zoological Park of that city. < He found a considerable pergentage.of them with the same im- perfections:as exist in man. It is not reported, however, that he fitted them with. glasses. The. percentage of people weafln., glasses, in a .community, or group,.or gociety,. is an;index to the.educational and .scholastic attainments of that group or, society. The meore the eyes are used for prolonged .study and close work, the more necessary it be~ comes. to ‘wear correcting lenses for any existing refractive eprors.

The way the county press. hag been (hitting at the legislature the ppst few. weeks one would think that that much abused body performed no other service than to enact fool laws, waste the people’s money and to merit no other criticism than sarcasm and ridi- cule.

They may land in the legislature themselves some day.— Belle Plaine Herald. —_—— This is a great age for specializing both in professional and business lines. Men are learning that it pays best to do one thing and to do it a little better or a little cheaper than anyone else. This is just as true on the farm as in any other line of endeavor. Some farmers raise onions, others specialize in potatoes, an- other makes his principal business the handling of a dairy herd, and s0 it goes down the line. This does not mean that these things are done to the exclusion of all else. nor that the farmer who specializes may not go in for diversified farming to some extent. It does mean that they have learned to do some one thing well and whatever else is attempted comes second. This is a. commendable plan for the farmers of Northern Minne- sota to follow. Make up your mind what you would like best to do and then lay your plans to become an ex- pert in the line you choose. As to whether or not specializing pays one has only to recall the farmers he knows who -are doing this and the question is answered. — Northera Minnesota.
