Tremendous wastes due to bad light

The bugaboo of bad light in schools and factories is no imagination, according to Guy A. Henry of New York, general director of the Eyesight Conservation Council of America. Speaking at Boston May 28 he stated that one-third of the six million retarded pupils in American schools were in their present condition because of neglected eyesight that could be partially corrected by proper illumination. Factory waste chargeable to poor lighting, he declared, totals thirty million dollars of industrial waste and industrial accidents due to poor, lighting cause an annual loss ol 300 million dollars.
