Dr. Peacock Hits Out

Truth hurls at times, lml surely it was un- necessary for Dr. Fletcher Pcacock of New Brunswick to tcll our people that "over there" the "scrubs" of the population were left at home, though he did (lualify the assertion by pointing out that it was "the scrubs" that built up the province, and not the politicians and millionaires who left the Province for their own good. It has been our contention all through the years that too much is made of the “success" of Mari- timcrs abroad, and not enough of the success of those who stay at home, adding to the em- ployment, industries, and prosperity of their native provinces. IQcally, for instance, much more credit is due to our successful farmers, potato exporters, stock breeders and fishery in- terests, to our wool mill, fertilizer, butter 'and ice cream and sundry other factories, which pro- vide means of livelihood to our i lay, to successful bankers, lawyers, and politic- ians who forsake their native soil, and devote their ability and energies in developing fortunes

for themselves in other parts of the world. Ill

fares the land, we are told, where wealth in- creases and men decay, but still worse is the land where wealth does not increase and men Ind women emigrate to earn a livelihood. The first duty of the government of any country 6r province is to pr0vide_ the means whereby a decent and more-or-lessisecure livelihood may

be obtained by the average boy and girl leaving Dr. Peacock did well to point out that the excep- tions of‘ “successful Maritimers abroad" whom

7=General Horn by’; Plan

Many of our readers will remember Briga- dier General M. L.‘ Hornby,'of Lethbridge, Alberta, who visited here on more than one oc- casion and whose championship of a far-reach-

ing plan of immigration before the war was ad--

vocated with much zeal and ability. General Horfrby has written another pamphlet on the subject, "Canada and Post-War Immigration", in‘ which he emphasizes that increased man- power has not only hecotne desirable but ab- solutely necessary if we are to justify our oc- cupation of this immense territory and ~our own- ership of so much developed and natural wealth. \Ve must, he insists, do more than exploit it for the use and enrichment of a mere twelve mil- lion people.

One of the. author's strongest arguments in favor of immigration of the right kind, is ‘our burdensome taxation and debt. He cites the obvious fact that the most effective way of meeting thcsc obligations is to spread them over l larger number of pcrsOus—-"bring in new people to share our tax burdens, provided they can become effective taxpayers; that is to say provided they can be “scttlcd" in such a way as to be self-sustaining and to make their contri- bdtiofi to the maintenance of the nation's gov-

V crnmental expenditures." .

In past years, much of our national ex- penditures —- Federal, Provincial. railway, pub- lic service, etc., were made with the objective in

i ryiew of a population double what we have at

ﬂfesent. It is hardly possible to estimate what flld shutting do\vn of imnigratioh in i929 cost i‘; Canada in lost tax contributions, in lost railway ‘ ffic, lost contribution to public utilities, etc. The writer's objective is to build up a

i,» flatlon of 25,000,000 in Canada. British im- u» lion; he says, is desirable in particular in

to balance the immigration of people of nltionslitiee with different qualifications liﬂnship and‘ different claims on our hos-

jand of still other nationalities, which tetruationnl and political reasons we de-

Idtbit to the »Don'n'nlon. The ‘population

The Domluions themselves will ha“ to provide the necessary financeWor British im- migrant settlement. This can be done very largely by loans, secured and recoverable, part- ly on a short term basis as in ;he case of ad- vances for initial living expenses and purchase; of equipment, and partly on a long term basis, as in the case of houses, land, and such like items. In view of the great amount of assistance no\v being given by Canada to Britain to aid her reconstruction and feed her people, Gen- eral Hornby suggests that the time is favorable for Canada to place the whole lnatter of Brit- ish immigration to Canada before the United Kingdom Government.

In conclusion he argues that the problem of adequate provision for our own returned vet- erans in the Canadian economy cannot properly be solved except by putting into effect a policy of large scale immigration and immigrant set- llemcnt.

\Vhile poets are born not made, it is the reverse with industries; they are the outcome of the initiative, resourcefulness and energy of some one or more individuals who put their hearts into their work. The success of the Cen- tral Crcameries, now celebrating 25 years of prosperous existence, is a case in point. Mr. j. Percy Simmonds conceived the idea, went to it with determination, kept at it even when prospects did not look too roscatc, and now to- day he head's one of the best known and popu- lar butter and ice cream factories in the Mari- time Provinces. Wherever quality counts for most, the “Pcrfection" in these two products may be found.

Today the medical social worlmr is sup- planting the nurse in many instances and will continue to do so unless nursing courses are modified and enlarged to include a considerable amount of psychiatric train‘ g in the handling of patients with functional disorders, Dr. T. E. Dancey, told the Alumnae Association of the Montreal General Hospital School for Nurses, at a meeting held over the week-end. Dr. Dancey pointed out that he was not accusing the soc- ial worker of being over ambitious but it "is a fact that the nurse is being ousted from much that is her natural field, and the fault lies with the nursing profession.” ‘It seems logical that the nurse because of her general training should be the chief assistant to the psychiatrist in lnost instances, he continued. "Were that so there would be less danger of the psychiatrist being looked upon as a crystal gazer which unfortun- ately occurs."

i i i _ Mayor Earle MacDonald is nothing if he be not candid. His address at the Teachers’ Federation gathering will find an approving echo from thinking people ‘from one end of the Province to the other. What is needed most of all is good teachers in our rural schools. When we write “good" we mcan well qualified edu- cationally and as leaders and directors. In the old days when men like the late Sir Wilfrid Sullivan, Sir Andrew MacPhaiLthe llon. john A. Mathieson, Mr. D. K. Currie, taught school they were the centre of light and leading in their communities, and not only imparted knowledge in the school house but on the plat- form as well. They were educators in the real sense of the word, and went-after boys and girls "dpalrts" even after their parents took them from school, helping them to continue their education. We cannot get men of that calibre today at the salaries we pay rural teach- ers, consequently the Province suffers, and we have results which the Mayor ennumerated in
