As Father Saw It.

In the schools of a Connecticut town measures were recently taken to test the children’s eyesight. As the doctor finished each school he gave the principal a list of the pupils whoso eyes needed attention, and requested him to notify the children’s parents to that effect. One night, soon after the opening of the fiall term, a little boy came home and gave his father the following note, duly signed oy the principal: “Mr. . Dear Sir—lt becomes my duty to Inform you that your son showi decided indications of astigmatism, and his case is one that should be attended to without delay.” The next day the father sent the following answer: “Dear Sir —Whip It out of him. Yours truly.”
