AVERAGE SCHOOL J SAY SPEC] Although the rest of the country has become streamlined, the Average schoolroom is still the same as it was in the horse mad baggy days. Inadequate control of lighting is the most serious factor. Lighting engineers, educators and visual specialists are working hand In hand for its correction. With a bank of windows cm one side of the room and blackboards on the others, it has been proven that the amount of light on desk tops in any room ranges from 100 percent to 7 percent. This tremendous contrast causes the children to go through all sorts of distortions to counteract the condition. Scowling, squinting and even spinal curvature are often the re-1 suit. In January. 1938, the Texas State Department of Health, under the supervision of Darrell Boyd Harmon, launched the firstv longrange program for the purpose of protecting and promoting the health of school children in the classroom. Here are the results on 40.000 children as compiled from 1938 to 1945: Visual, difficulties, 53.3 percent; posture difficulties, 30.2 percent; possible sign of chronic infection, 75.2 percent; Possible chronic infection, 20.9 per cent; dental difficulties, 92.0 per cent. Two-thirds of these ailments were traced to students sitting in the brightest half of the room where daylight was intense. One noted eye doctor said, "It has been provenlh at the average school child is expected to do. fifteen times as much reading as the child of fifty years ago. It is impossible to expect him to do so ih such inadequate surroundings." Most of these conditions can be corrected with little expense. Necessary changes are control of natural light, augmented by approved artificial illumination, elimination of old style blackboards, proper adjustable seats and desks, with the desk top adjustable to correct reading posture; and final- -- FOR -- Roofhig -- Tile -- Gutter and All Building Materials f / • Sears Roetnck and Co.
