SCHOOL LIFE IN ITS INFLUENCE ON SIGHT

A Lecture Delivered Before the College of Preceptors at the House of the Society of Arts, July 13, 1872Considering the great care which, in English schools, is bestowed upon the physical well-being and development of the children, I have been surprised to find almost everywhere arrangements more or less injurious to the Organ of Sight. I am inclined to believe that this arises from the masters, architects, and others concerned in school arrangements, not being sufficiently acquainted with the first principles laid down for the preservation of sight. It seems to me as if the question, what those principles are, had never yet been asked.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
