The phrase “with mended glass, like bottle bits on stones” is used for the poor students sitting in an elementary school of a slum area. Mended glass refers to the spectacles worn by those students. These spectacles are mended (as they are broken).
According to the poet, these poor and unhealthy students with spectacles on their eyes (also shows lack of vision due to poverty) look like pieces of glass bottle scattered on stone. The stone symbolises these students.
The literary device used here is “Simile” as poet uses as to compare students with bottle bits on stones.
