8 The Nebraskan-Hesperian 4 !j:-:ii SUSSES FOR THE EYES. Dr. 'Seymour Denounces the Fact That Eyes are Deter iorating. The question Is ofton asked particu larly by thoso who can recall the cus toms and experiences of twonty-fivo years r.go, "Why do so many people nowadays wear glasses?" The answer Is easy. "The increase in the number of spectacles worn is not to bo re garded as an evidence of modern do generation of tho oyes, "but rather that a long felt necessity has been met" For it should be remembered that within the past quarter of a century much has been learned about tho value of glasses, and tho range of their ap plication and usefulness has been enormously extended. Of course tho oyes need moro help now than former ly, as tho amount of work they arc required to do is much greater than at any previous period in tho world's his tory. Tho sowing machine and many other inventions of its class 3ave the labor of the hands only to add to that required of the eyes. New employments, now amusemonts and new fashions are continually be ing introduced to increase the exac tions laid upon these sensitive and del icate organs. The steady decrease of illiteracy, together with tho general cheapness of literature and a spread of tho taste for it, the enormous clrcu i nt ion of novel, magazine and news paper, tho ever increasing use of arti ficial illustrations, all combine to over tax the eyes and to weaken or possibly destroy the sight unless the required aid and protection he supplied through every means at our disposal. Thus it happens that the one time luxurv of properly adapted glasses has come to be recognized and understood by very many of the present generation as one of tho real necessities of their lives. Notwithstanding all the extra strain brought to bear upon the eye b3' ad vanced civilization, some persons are still adverse to taking anv other -view of the matter than that the eyes of our present generation surely snow de terioration. If this "be true how could we account for the great amount of work accomplished by young men nnd women of today, wholly through the use of their eyes; or the ability of children in our public schools to com pete with tne requirements, necessi tating close application to their books to insure: their advancement? It is all a fallacy and the sooner peo ple 'learn to preserve and care for their eyes the sooner we -will lessen the number of Inmates in our institutions for tho blind. The Fame is certainly true of the use of glasses as it is true of the use w Special Rates ... which we are making to Students still continue.
