Eyes Of Children

Great care should be taken in exposing the child's eyes to the light; see that the light does not shine directly ín its eyes as it lies in the lap. The ü&ht shining into the child's eyes when it is in the baby carriage not only affects the eyes, but the nerves. The cover of the umbrella of the carriage should be dark, and it is better to have the light reach the eyes from the side rather than from above. The care of the eyes is particularly important during this first year of llfe. Do not stand back of the child m talking to it. The muscles of the eyes are weak, and the child is in danger of straining them in turning, and crossed eyes may be one of the results. Do noi hold thlngs too near the eyes of the child. This is a cruelty to which mar.y children are subjected. Bright colors are all very well at a distance, but do not dangle a brightcolored object directly in front of the eyes.
