Nothing gives such oyes greater relief than o green disk or square of suffic- ient size, suspended on a direct lne of vision at or against a wall on which the eyes can rest; but best of all if that individual can look upon a green grass plot or green trees. School rooms, instead of having black walls, would be source of great comfort to the overtaxed eyes of children if they were decorated with pastoral s or any pic- ture representing long distances. One of the most prominent and popular professors, who speaks with an_experience of twenty-five years, tells me that he has found the old-fashioned school maps, with their glazed surfaces, not only injurious to vision, but, on account of their highly reflec- tive surfaces, difficult to see from certain po- sitions.
