EVENING MEETING

The closing session of the (‘on- vention was held at the Assembly Hiall, Prince of Wales College, last evening. In spite of the extreme- ly disagreeable weather condi- tions. a very good number were in attendance, and the programme was cirrried out to the end with every success. Mrs. Bert It. Brown of Llttle~ York, presided. The gpitilkflffl were: Rev. G. J. McLellan, D. D., and Dr. V._ L. Goodwill, ‘Medical Suferintend- -e'n»t at I-‘alconwood Hospital.

IDr. Goodwill's address was upon "The Problem of the Peeble Minded Child." He explained that there were so many phases of this great subject that all he could hope to do was to give an outline of them. increasing interest is being taken throughout t-he Do- minion today in the problemi of the feeble minded child, the management of which has become one of the great modern social and economical burdens. This is true ail-l over Canada, but especial- ly true-here in this province. which is credited with having in propor- tion ‘to lls population, the largest number of feeble minded. Many of these persons are in our insane bospltaL-whers they should no; he indeed. if we took the feeble-mind- ed sway from our Infirmary we would not need an iilfirmary. The great, trouble is that we have no adequate place for them. Dr_ Good will went on "to say that the first step towards progress is to have a census taken of all the feeble- rnilldfl in this province. It is nec- essary to have medical inspection
