Now that students are back in school follow-
ing the holidays, see that they have a good
light to safeguard eyesight and make studying
easier. The lamp your child uses for reading
or studying should have at least a 100-watt and
preferably a 150-watt bulb to provide enough
light. The shade should be wide to spread the
light, and be careful to keep any glare from
unshaded bulbs from striking the eyes,
