Amy: They must be fastened in tight.
Muscles of the eye.
Mother: That is true; for they are held by six little muscles, whose work it is to keep them in place and move them about.
Elmer: But what is inside of the eye, mother?
Mother: Let us look at the outside a little longer before we talk of the inside. Because the colored part of the eye is round, it is called the eyeball. It is with this part we see. The white part of the eye is filled with a clear substance, quite like jelly, and it has several strong coats or coverings outside. What part of the eye do you think we see through?
Helen: The black spot in the center.
Mother: What is it called?
Percy: The pupil.
Mother: Now look into each other’s eyes. What do you see around the pupil?
