THE MAGAZINE DRILL

For dull eyes:
1. Put up a magazine with a large title at the end of your room in good light. Look at it well before you leave it. Notice every letter of the title so that you can remember just how it looks.
2. Now go a few yards back. Do not look at the title yet. Instead, look at all the objects down the side of the room approaching the magazine title. See how many things you notice as you slip quickly by to the magazine. Let the eyes sweep across that title at last. Not clear?
3. Close the eyes and remember the title as it looked in your hand, how perfect it appeared, the shape of each latter.
4. Now, take a deep breath and again sweep down the side of the room to the magazine. Slide your vision back and forth over the title several times, blinking and breathing. It may clear in a flash for a brief moment. If it does not, step a little closer at first; the distance can be increased as your vision improves.

Vary your drills from week to week, using suitable ones found in other parts of the book. The Mirror Swing for cross-eyed babies is excellent. The Toothpick Drill in Chapter VII is very good.
