THE PULLMAN HERALD
(By Helen Schwartze)
Two-thirds of the children in the
Pullman public schools, for more
than half the school year, are work
ing under lighting conditions that
cause eye-strain, a strain which may
permanently impair their health.
Lighting conditions in the Pull
man schools are unquestionably bad
according to a survey recently com
pleted. The data was secured by W.
K. Keller, an advanced student in
the education department at the col
lege, under the direction of Dr. C.
W. Stone, and is a part of the ex
tensive survey Dr. Stone is making
of the public schools.
The light was carefully measured
in each room in all of the buildings
with an instrument called an "Illu
minometer.''
Three measurements were made
!of the light in each room. The first

The Spokane Manufacturing asso

tising scheme this summer in co
operation with the Foster-Russell
Aviation company. The association
will charter an airplane, with the
names of the members of the as
sociation painted on the sides and
wings, and send it out to some 200
different communities for exhibition
purposes. The association has writ
ten to the Pullman chamber of com
merce, asking if arrangements can
jbe made for a flight to Pullman. A
landing field 1000 feet long would
i be required, according to the letter,
which was turned over to the "Big

Light is Poor in Local Schools
was made on a bright, sunshiny day
when the light was the best possi
ble. . The second was made on a dark
day. .The third was made on a dark
day with artificial light.
On bright days .only 224 children,
or about one-fourth of the entire
number, are working at desks where
they receive the proper amount of
light. Two-fifths of the children, or
303 of them, are working at desks
where the light causes slight eye
strain. The other one-third of the
children are working at desks Iwhere
the light is either insufficient or ex
cessive and where no work should
ever be done.
These are the results on a bright,
sunshiny day when the light is the
best possible.
However, only 18 per cent of the
days of the school year are bright,
according to figures which Mr. Kel
ler obtained from the United States
Although lighting conditions in
the Pullman schools are extremely
poor they are probably no worse
than in many other places. With
the conditions as they are, it is j
easily understood why the govern- j
ment records show that 12 per cent
of all school children in the United
States have defective eyesight.
Surveys have also been made of
the heating and humidity in the
