DECORATIVE LIGHTING
READING AND STUDYING In many homes a certain amount of attention is given to decorative lighting, and perhaps to the lighting of the kitchen and other workrooms, but observation shows that there is frequently a lack of proper lighting for reading and studying. Many a mother, after the dinner is finished and the dishes cleared away, will tell her youngster to “get your books, dear, and do your homework—it is getting late,” and yet there is not a suitable light in the house for s£udy purposes. The study hour for the child, then, becomes one of eyestrain, which not only affects the studying, but may have a lasting effect on the eyesight. Growing children spend most of the hours of darkness in the home. It is as much a duty for parents to provide proper lighting for them as it is to provide clothing and shelter. It is true that our eyes, in spite of their extremely delicate mechanism, will stand considerable abuse before showing the effects, but there is a mass of indisputable evidence that, the toll is taken sooner or later.
