j A "Wanganui parent who takes strong ; exception to children being taught to ! print instead of write cites the case of : a girl, eight years of a?e-, who, until a . few days ago, was unable to write her I own name. Desiring to open a post 1 office savings bank account for the child, the mother took her to the office of the bank for that purpose. The girl was proceeding to endorse the form with her signature in the style of printing she was being taught at school, and when the officer informed her he could not accept a printed signature, and it was necessary that she should write it in the ordinary way, the child confessed her inability to comply with his request. "And," added 'the informant, "it required a week's snare time tuition at home before the girl—quite a normally intelligent girl—was able to write an acceptable signature." EYESIGHT AND ARTIFICIAL LIGHT. LEADING EXPEKT'S OPINION. A noted London specialist states that 75 per cent, of optical troubles are caused through working in close proximity to electric light or gas. A soft, mellow, steady light, as given by Golden Kay Candles, is the ideal illumination. "Golden Kays" are specially hardened candles and don't wilt nor splutter. Burn slowly and clearly for hours. More economical than imported brands. If your grocer cannot supply Golden Kay Candles, order direct from Ellis and Manton, Ltd . G.P.O. Box 222, Wellington.—Advt.
