"there .111» lilvcly to he on the average at least IO chil- dren whose mental health is so poor as to inter- fere st-riouslv with sticcess not onl_v in school bttt in life zldittslniellt. (if then l0 at least two will in all probability at some time later in life hzive to enter a ltu-nzal institution. There are as many children in school at present who will at some time enter a mental hospital as there are chil- (lrett who will go to college."

Dr. Krug told of the. terriﬁc cost hospital treatment entails upon the community, quite apart from the toll of wrecked lives, inefficient work. and tltllllllljllllvSi. lle saw the approach to the prolilt-ltt as a twofold one, the attempt to cvrc. and the effort toward prevention, In this eoiilttrvtioli he insisted ltpon a sharp distinc- tion lllll-lll'lllllt'llit‘lv\' too often overlooked: cure must he left to competent medical specialists. He. warned ezlrne-tly against listening to the advice of unqualiﬁed people.

The tltleerlv of public indifference is etihanccd he the fact that never before have prospects looked so bright for the vanquishing pf mental ills. Dr. H. S. Prince, hcad of the Society, told the nteeting of a great scientiﬁc experiment spottsored by thc Belgian Government in the City oi tiltt-el where 4.000 patients have devel- oped a connnutiilyi in which conﬁning walls and lllvliilllltilllll care are alike unknown. He in- stinlitt-d the work 1f Dr. Oscar Riddle of the tI-trnegie institution of ‘Wasltington, who by '.~_\-1eti1;ttic injections of growth hormones has nhtztiilvcl zistonislling results in cases 0f arrested llt-veloplnt-tit. llc referred to the almost incre- dible cures ill dementia praccox, one of the most ilriattlfttl of mental diseases, by the so-callcd “shock” treatment. In the slate hospital 0f Illi- nois 5o pJr cent of the patients to whom this treatment was given have been sent home and many have returned to their former vocations.

'lill('~€ FiZllUlllkﬂllS strikingly illustrate the need of a tnental hygiene campaign as advocated here by Hon. Dr. \\'. P. MacMillan at the rcccnt meeting of the Children's Aid Society, and on many other occasions. Unfortunately. the Liberal policy in the last election being one of atltagonism to mental health expenditure, little is to be expected in the way of government leadership, either in rousing public interest or in presenting the facts with which medical author- ities are familiar. Yet, from the community standpoint alone, the issue is surely of grave importance. The need of modern facilities for treatment of our mental patients is being felt more and more. Never again, we venture to say. will politicians, colossally ignorant of the sub- ject. have the audacity to say on a public plat- form in this Province that “most of the people at Falconwood only need to be kept warm-they don't need treatment." The fact that statements of that kind were made and were successful in winning votes in Prince Edward Island two years ago will be recalled with she/me by many of our people. \V'e a-re moving towards a more enlightened attitude. And if there is one Larson in Prince Edward Island to whom credit

thin regard is duo, it is surely Dr. MaeMillan.

Milli Bars ln London

Milk bars are established m meet the require- mcnta of those seeking non-alcoholic refresh- ment. For several you.“ an advertising 0am- paign for the greater use of milk has been in progress in the United Kingdom; the public was therefore not unprepared for the opening in qttick succession of a fair number of milk bars beginning about two years ago and still continuing." \\'ith the background of continuous advertising of milk and by offering clean, prompt and relatimjv inexpensive service. the milk bars found a ready popular acceptance that gives gvrérv indication of continuing.

The proceeds are being devoted tn the work in aid-of crippled children, with which the name of the Charlottetown Rotary Club has long been as" ciated.

More expansion, more subsidy. Premier Pattullo proposes extension of British Columbiafs boundaries “not only take in the Yttlvoti Territory but also the territory east of the Yttkoti follow- ing the 120th meridian to the North Pole." The extension would add 400,000 square miles to the province’s 365,000. The 120th meridian now forms par-t of the eastern boundary of Iiritish Columbia. The portion of the North West Ter- ritories sought by Premier Pattullo, hounded hy this meridian and Yukon territory, iticlttdes most of the valley of the hlackenzie River and over half of Great Bea-r Lake.

British public opinion ll said to be almost unanimous 1n approving Lord Hullfairs mission to Germany. Nearly all groups, irrespective of then inclination to trust or distrust the Reich, feel that another at- tempt. must be made to counteract. the present dangerous tendency to divide Europe into two hostile camps. Twenty-ﬁve years ago Lord Haldane vainly sought in Berlin for a way to check a similar tendency. ‘though Lord Haifnxk task is not easier, at least one new factor in- creases his chances of success: to- clajt there is a more widespread understanding than in 1912 of the pricc ‘of failure-New Yonk Times.

Having in mind the controversies over housing programs in Canada, it occurs that the success of slum clear-alice and cheap housing in Eilgland is tn large measure due to the assessment. policy.

Clix-Motorists uhould the I. drive over the new Oheltaon high- way and enjoy the experience of getting bogged 1n the mire of nods recently thrown in the centre of this mad. and nee at first. hnnd the hospitality of citizens who for the past. two weeks have been practically housed in __ this senseless road making programme o‘! the present Government.

Should our Fourth District; rep- resentative have occasion to motor through this section, the» same citizens will tum out with the same prtes and tackle they use to rescue other motorists; they will do their beat to pry him out, pull or push his oar on to road that: has been wL- 1y left alone at, this season of the you; they will see him safety home and show him every courtesy that would have been lihown him had he used his better judgment in having the road work done at the proper time.

The machining recently done here has been christened by mot- orists who have had to be pulled out. of the bog. They can it the Campbell Government Late Fall Stop-Traffic Highws project. Something to boast o, isn't it?

Red and blue are the predom- inating colors along the new Stop- Traffic highway—red with sods and mud, and hue with the lan- guage of an infuriated travelling public.

Yesterday (Sunday) one motor- ist. attempted to drive through this bog with his car ln low. He bog- ged and some kindly neighbors went to his rescue. One of the passengers remarked that it was breaking bhe Sabbath to harness a team of horses on Sunday and pull a car out, of- the ditch. An- other quoted the Scriptural in- junction to rascue an ass if it falls into the ditch on the Sab- bath. "Yes." said the other, “but this isn't an ass; it's an automo- bile." The second passenger con- fessed that. it would be more in keeping with the Text 1f 1t had been the Campbell Government that; required to be pulled out on the Sabbath.

Our mall carrier ls feeling the hardships of the new Stop-Truf- ftc highway. One day he gets stuck: the next he brings a wag- on; then he tries his oar again. Recently his car got so badTy bog- ged that it took six men to get him out. Kindly neighbors allow- ed him to go through their fields the remainder of the way, and in this fashion he got through; but he was unable to serve all the boxes. One of the box owners ex~ pressed the wish that the North- umbel-land Straits would soon freeze up. so that. he could walk the ice to Charlottetown and get. his mall the same Ls his pioneer forefathers were forced to do in the days of yore.

Some of the neighbors who have been housed in of late on account of the new Stop-‘Ikafflc highway are badly in need of supplies. One neighbor suggests taking a dory and rowing around Sea. Cow Head to Summerstde. Another, who hasn't been able to take his car out. since the Government road- maklng activities began, smﬂgd on foot Saturday across the fields and woods with basket. on arm for the village store at: Bedeque. three miles away.

It Ls not yet known with cer- tainty who is responsible for this nonsensical piece of roadwork at this season of the year. But aus- nlclon is Bﬂﬂwrlnz about a very prominent supporter who, it ls said. ‘has been hiding, presumably in the woods. ever since oars be- Ban to got stuck. It is hoped his family have some means of pro- vidlng him with food unm it freezes up so that traffic can xv- sum. and it will be sate for him to return home.

PRACTICAL EDUCATION— WHA’! l8 1T?

The controversy that is being car- ried on from time to time on this

that. once took place in my owl. classroom in a small but pfflipel- ous country town .n Saskatchewan wnere I was engaged for one yen. 1n teaching l. high school class o. boys and girls that, came clued front farm homes surrounding th.

way that. it: would be hard to finu anywhere boys and girls more jolly, upright and intelligent, than the boys and girls who attend a coun- try high hool in Saskatchewan. My cuss w no exception to this rule, but like all boys and girls to- day they were mo prone by times to be carried away by sport and In forget their Latin, French, Geom- etry and Algebra, and even their scientific agriculture too.

One morning hour 1 was engaged ln giving my class a lesson in scientific agriculture. Perhaps it. was on the momng just. after a hockey match, for I was greatly displeased to find that. my pupils had entirely neglected to prepare the lesson I -was trying to teach them. I chided them for their ne- glect. reminding the ooys espectady that they were farm boys and that they should at. least take an inter- est. in agriculture. “0h," said a. big, awkward and forward sort of boy whom his class-mates affectionately called "Bohunk Greene" tBo for short)—-"oh," said he, “but I don't. see much good in this stuff you're wanking us here."

“You do not," I replied, "and you a farmer?"

"Oh pshaw," replied the awk- ward boy, "I've got an uncle who is a school inspector, and he's got u. B. S. A. degree and he's not a big farm too, and it‘; the worst looking farm in his dtstrlctg-all run over with Russian thfattes, and his machinery is on the bum, and he's got. the poorest looking horses tn the country. And I have another old uncle who can hardy sign ha own name. and he's got the but looking farm 1n his distrlotn-notj weed- on it, and his machinery is all good, and his horses Just. fine; and he's got. thirty thousand dol- lars in the bank, and he jun laughs

at my inspector uncle's crand ideas. And my inspector e is u poor u Job's turkey, an he’:

got, a mortgage on his farm; but. he can tell me all you're telling u: here now, and more too; 4o if that's what. you nail scientific lirtoulture, I don't think much of it."

A general twitter of laughter fol- lowed the above speech and Ruth Somebody whom I had just defect.- ecl kt the act of applying an extra dose of powder to her face. spoke up ktdlgnantly and said: "Rancher," what has cube root. to do with mak- in: o. hat?
