Tlio vicaii, or most- IVequcnt, distance; at; wliicb Ko. 1 was read, 

 was 11) inclies, ■/.«. 7 incbes in excess of tlie tlieoretieal distance oi' 

 I'J inches; wliile No. lU was read at the exact theoretical distance of 

 ll> feet. The aver(tl||^ distance at wiiicli the boy.s read the smaller type was 

 IS'7 inches, a deficieiuty of , ',, of an inch for tlio whclo school ; and the 

 avcrao'e distance at which the laro;er type was read was 'J'.j i'eet, or a loss 

 of ,",, ofa foot. The nineteen masters, between i20 and 40 years of age, 

 read !)oth tyi)es at a greater average distance than the boys. The 

 average di.-lance at wdiich iS'o. 1 was read increases at an almost uuilbrm 

 rate of 1 inch for every two years up to 18 ycai's of age. The sight of 

 the live masters, of the age of 40 and upwards, is probabl}' exceptional, 

 ar.d the immber of ob.servj tions are too few to be relied on. 



Tlie following table is interesting as showing the relation which the 

 two tests boar to each other when applied to the same individuals. The 

 general disposition of the iigarcs shows that the sight which is proved to 

 be good by one test is good also by the other lest ; but there are some 

 notable exceptions to this rule, a few of which are probably due to errors
