nnilsTioN or occulwrlotv AND NERVOUS SYMPTOMS

lin previous articles I have point- ed out that. our occupations have much to do with the ailments of which ire complain. Thus salesmen, in their efforts to hold the atten- tion of the buyers, keep body and mind in high tension. This tense- nzss is severe on the stomach.

The regular movements of the stomach, which should occur a few tines each minute, are so stimu- lated that they qccur more often, at irregular intervals, and bring about severe pain and dis-tress and an increased amount of acid stom- ach digestive juice.

Ulcer of the stomach, therefore. ls common 1n salesmen and other tense individuals. It means that a functional disease (disturbance of the natural process of an organ) can develop into an organic dis- ease because of the tenseness of mind and body.

An iiittrstiiig investigation as to the relationship between nervous disturbances tneurosesl and oc- cupatlons was made at the Mayo Clinic by Drs. l-l. L. Stmlih and N. C. llightower. A control study was irnade of 300 patients admitted to the clinic consecutively: clergyrnen. dentists, farmers, housewives, law- yers, nuns, physicians, railroad en- gincers and school teachers. The general findings were that about 25 pBr cent of all adult patients ex- amined were neurotic tbelieved an organic ailment present which did not Exist.)

The least nervous or neurotic were railroad engineers (9 per cent). Panthers were the next 10w-

est, "Persons who work with their hands seem lo be less neurotic than those who do other types of work." In pu-bllc school teachers, for in- stance, nervous or functional dis- eases was found in 33 per cent.

I believe, as we think of the teiiseness required in teaching young children, none of us will be- grudge school teachers their surn riier and winter vacations. In fact. in addition to the Kl per cent of school teachers with functional dis- ease, 21 per cent had true or or- ganic disease, a total of 54 per cent. Thus public school teachers shovred the highest. percentage of nervous diseases. Other occupa- tions showed clergyman 39 per cent. 36 for housewives, and 36 for IlUllS.

The above investigation as to the relation between occupation and nervous symptoms shouild teach those whose occupation keeps them tense to learn to relax when relax- stlon is possible.

Women's Institute ' in P. E. island

By Uncle Joe

In the winter of 1913 the Depart- ment of Agriculture introduced the Women's Institutes organization to this Province. The first meeting took place at York. This was a joint meeting of the Farmers’ and Women's Institutes (old records give the date as 1911). It was nam- ed the “Alpha Institute" and did not come under the Dept. of Agri- culture until three years later. The first annual convention was held June 29-30 with an attend- ance of thirty-five Institutes. Dem- onstrations of dress-making and house furnishings were given. By 12(1)‘! membership had jumped to i .

As early as 1917 the local Insti- tutes had earned for themselves an enviable achievement in war work, while rural schools and community improvement came in for their full share of attention. The year of 1917 also siiw the teaching of household science to teachers and pupils of
