Toronto Star-August 3. 31
The value of health is realized to sonic degree. at least, by ever)’ thinking individual. But not every- body has imagination enough to appreciate the tremendous monet- ary loss to the nation caused by sickness and deaths from disease. The loss to the nation represented
by the deaths from preventable dis- eases yearly is estimated by D!‘- Gordon Bates at more than a bil- lion dollars and the loss due to sickness, of which 45 to 60 per cent. is preventable. at 300 million dol- lars. The upkeep of our hospitals, sanataria and osylums costs 50 mil- lion dollars yearly and the build- ings" and equipment; involved an 11i- ycstmeut oi 200 million dollars. "
Governments have many obliga- tions, some of which they have dii- ficulty in meeting in these days of financial depression. But ii one duty more than another is para- mount it is to promote the physical well being of the people. N0 other form oi expenditure gives such good results. The lengthening of the ex- pectancy of life from 40 to 58 years (luring the lust century is largely due to improved sanitation and the activities of public health officers who do everything humanly pos- siblc to ensure that the latest dis- coveries of medical science are nude to contribute to the good oi the community.
During the four years oi the great war the names oi 160,000 Can- adian soldiers appeared on the list oi-"wounded. the number including some men several times. Yet on any given day across the Dominion no lcss than 180.000 Canadian citizens are» temporarily disabled because oi sickness. Much is being done by governments and municipalities to keep down the number. But the to- tal-‘outiay for that purpose is only '1 million dollars and those most familiar with the work feel that much better results could be obtain- edY-ii the appropriations were larger. With better organization and equip- ment many of the preventable or postponable deaths, which are said to be 34 per cent. of the total. would not take place.
The Bennett government not only should make the usual federal grants in aid of the work oi the Canadian Social Hygiene Council, but supplement them because oi the lessened ability oi private individ- uals to help and because oi the problems created by the under- nourishment of thousands of fam- ilies whose breadwlnners are with- out work- A special effort should be made by the government to estab- lish rural health units In all the provinces of Canada.

' Can his Parents Disillusion the Youth Who is

Dear Miss Dix-We have a boy of 22. give him a college education. Now he has an excellent position which he has held for three years. While in college, however, he became en- gaged to a. girl in that town who comes of a very- low-class family. She has not a single redeeming quality. She has a hateful disposition. is anemic and jealous and she and her faintly keep him drained oi money to pay for the girl's iur coat or the mother's grocery bill.

i Answer :
I don't wonder that you wish to break up a match which is bound to bring disaster upon your son, but when a boy who comesof educated and refined people falls for; a low-class girl, it is a matter of infatuation and you cannot reason with that. ’
l l
Her appeal to him is physical and that outweighs all your pleas and entreaties and argument and even the warnings that his own intellig- ence keeps whispering to him about how disastrous such a marriage is bound to be. And the pity oi the thing isthat this physical infatuation does not last. And when it is gone there is nothing left and the poor ' victim of this passion finds himself burdened with a wife of whom he is ashamed, and with whom he has not a thought nor an idea nor an as- piration in common. , » ..___;._ Such unequal marriages can never in the very nature oi things be he other difficulties of adjustment,

But, of course, you have told your son all this a thousand times and he has not listened. Nor will he listen now. Nor can any one tell you how to wean him away from the girl.
The best plan, If it were practicable. would be for him to go and spend a month in the girl's family. Let him see the kind of grand- parents he ls choosing for his children. Let him see how lacking they are in all of the delicacies of feeling and‘ department to which he has been accustomed, and ii that will not dislllusion him, nothing will.

Let him see the girls who are educated, cultured and poised in contrast to one who is ignorant, awkward and ill at ease ln good society. .__;_._. quit opposing the match, because opposi- tion merely fans the flame. Every time you point out the girl's dis- abilities to your son you make him her partisan. You force him to magnify her charms and virtues and to convince himself that she ls more desirable than she is, for he has put up a. selling argument even to him- self.

This invitation, in the form of a large-lettered poster on the door of some eight or nine schools and ohumh basements in different parts of the city. indicates the location of the Daily Vacation Schools in Montreal, now in their eighteenth
season. Thait the invitation is ac- cepted wlth eagerness by many boys and girls was evident to visit-

In e, large room in the Verdun
High School, more than two bun- dred and fifty boys and girls were listening to a story being told by one of the teachers when the vis- itors arrived about ten o'clock, half
an lhour after the opening exercis- es. Bright eyes were fastened on the story tellers face, and restless little figures forgot to wrlgglo as the story oi the adventures of the little heroine proceeded to its clim- ax, in which was, of course, a care- fully wrapped-up moral.
Then the storytellers place was token by the singing teacher, and rhythmic songs and motion songs were sung with music with gusto. By request a visiting member of the commit/tee, well-known for her studies of bird songs, went to the piano and gave an interpretation

ARE SUMMER RESORTS HEALTHY?
The Sanitation (June) number oi the Canadian Pufblic Health Journ- al provides extremely interesting reading. There are several articles dealing with sanitation in Sum- mer Resorts, fresh Air Camps, Ro- cneatlonal Centres, etc. These artJ- cles have been contributed by mem bers oi the Public Health Engin- eering section of the Canadian Public Health Association.
“The sanitary conditions in suin- mer resorts of Quebec are satisfac- tory" states Theo. J . Lafreniere, U. E., "and the control is obtained through the ordinary organization oi the Provincial Bureau of Health whose activities are largely rural in character. However, those who are
