HOSPITAL GI£AN'l'S

' The importance of maintaining

ruch necessary institutions us hos-

pitals was strongly elnpilasizcd in the trustees’ report sublllittcd at

last nights alllluzii meeting ot the Prince Edward lsi;\nd'Hospital. The

new hospital blllidllllz, which shortly will be ready for occupatioll, was undertaken as the result of pledges

obtained from subscribers, nlany of whom now find difficulty in meet- ing their obligations. The tru-S1605 nr, obliged to isslle bonds amount- lrlg to $125,000 to finance the con- struction work and pay ef! their

bank loan, and they are reminding

all contributors of thc necessity of meeting tlleir pledges. They also

express disappointment at having

received no increase in grant from

the Provincial Goverllmellt this year,

and intimate that it may be neces- naril to so back to the system of

making yearly collections to cover

operation deficits as was dolle cv-

ery year prior to 10215, since which. time the hospital had succeeded in paying its' way.

The report cites opinions express-

ed by Prelnier Stewart, Hon. Dr. W.

J. P. MacMillan, and Mr. W, M. Lea

of the need of govcrnnlcntai sup- port, to a greater extent than at

'A GYlT“”1.)c"”`ie'l=.‘171`l7/lL?

Speaking rcccni-ly :ll Cllarlottc-

hwn, Professor J. S. 'I‘lloll:soll, MA. of Pine Hill College, Halifax, a na- tive of Scotland, declared that hc

had been greatly touched to llcar

people still speaking Gaelic in the Maritime Provinces, a fact which indicated to him that down to the

third, fourth and fifth generations the ties of sentiment and attach-

men to the Old Land are still strong.

This statement is iniclcsting as

showing the cxtclli. to which the Gaelic language was once spoken in these Provinces; for thcrc can bc

language survives, The 111111101' °f me amd; is Mr. J. L. Campbell- °f Invernelll, who maintains that while lt cannot be denied that Ga@1i° 1°

the Maritimes has declined, there is still enough life in it to suEE€S¢

that enthusiasm and interest could be easily aroused in those P3115 whose traditions and SP9'-‘C11 are

still predominantly Highland- ' Mr. Campbell! article was re- printed in the March issue of “An Gaidheal" tThe Gael) official mag- azine of An Comunn Gaidheaiach (The Gaelic Union,) published at

Glasgow, and a leading editorial (in Gaelic) was devoted to it by the editor, Rev. Neil Ross, D. Litt. We are indebted to Mr. H. A. Messefvy.

of this city, for a. copy of the mus- azine and a translation of Dr. Ross'

interesting comment. After summing up the results or Mr. ca.ml1bc11‘=_1n- vestigations, the editor says: “Are not our hearts filled mth affection

for that faithful posterity that are thus holding to their inheritance?

. _ . The farther the Gael travels

from his country of the hills the warmer is his devotion to his music

and his speech. But. as our speech lost more and more its grip in the

Highlands as the result of neglect,

so likewise will the Gaelic lose its

grip in Canada from the san-le cause _ . .Thus will rome death

most certainly on our tongue unlc-<5 every effort is made to Save it in good time This question offers

public notice another matter about

which I have been thinking much

for many years. It is this: that it would seem right for the Comunn Gaidhealach to make an attempt t.o establish branches in Canada. The

‘Gaelic is just as valued and as much ;allve in Canada as it is ln Scot- land. If the Comunn is zealous of

keeping the speech, it is right that it should take means to encourage the Gaels of Canada, so that we

preserve our tongue and ollr music. lt is not that we are more skillful

or wiser than they; but we are still

in the Old Home, in the Mother

Country-and we have proven the

good work of the Comunn for forty years. Tile authorities will listen to

our voice. The teaching of thc

speech has been revived in the schools and we are able to keep in

memory the old tunes, for they are slmg at the Mods, both solo and in choir. Let; the Comunn send over-

seas three or four delegates speak-

ing and singing in Gaelic, and thcrc is not the least doubt that there

will be good fruit as 9. result of

new branches budding forth in Canada.”

Tile foregoing comment, together

with Mr. Campbells article, evid-

ently creatcd much interest, among Gaelic enthusiasts in the Old

Country. In the Alpril issue of “An

Gaidheal" the editors suggestion of a Gaelic delegation to the Mari-

times is warmly commended by Sir Alexander M. MacEwcn, who is quoted as follows:

| Sir,-Your leading article on

this subject and Mr. J. L. Camp- bcil's account of his unofficial census in the March number of An Gaidheal suggest a new dir- ection for the activities of An Comunn Galdhealach. A dclcgll- tion from An Comunn visiting Nova Scotia, Cape Breton, and Prince Edward Island might pro- duce rcsllits, not only of great interest. but of permanent value. The settlements of Gaelic-spcak- ing Highlanders throughout the world are so few, and thc anti- Gacilc-lniiuenccs arc so strong, _that it is highly important that

no doubt that it has declined stead-

Ily in recent years. The fact. is r grettable, not only from the sen mental standpoint-though that too Is an important matter-but from a

cultural stpndpoint »a3 well. Elsewhere olr this P1180 W8 fellilb-

contact and co-operation between Gaelic speakers ln different count- ries should be established and encouraged. It would be of re. ciprocai benefit. I would suggest that steps shollid be immediately taken to cxaminc this nmitcr. A small committee might be ap- pointed to consider thc probable cost of sending a small dvpllta- tion. including both speakers and singers, to Canada, and how to raise the necessary fllllds. If suc- cessful, such a delegation would be a striking testimony to lhc practical activities of An Comunn, as well as to our faith and mis-

Europe, the ' young lnen‘ have been in charge, and the most strlkiuB .thing they have givcll LIS IS N021 Germany. It was told that wars were made by old men, by men who didn‘t have to fight, and that if only youth would take hold of things the making of wars would end. Yet in Germany we have S0611 U10 "young men" nlarching in martini fervor, clattering their armaments, persecutlng evcll their own citizens with violence and force. The truth. of collrse, is that “youth” and “Old nge' cannot be measured or .ludfled in this way. Not by the years .a man has lived, but, by the character of his ideals, by the outlook of his mind and the elitllllsiasm of his heart, must it be jlldged BS t0`\\'l1¢f1.1- er he is “old” or “>'0l1I18~'

Hitlerism In power. say; the Lon-

don Daily Herald has shown the grim and loathsolne reality that the anti-democratic reaction is. It has won its way to office by a skil- ful but shameless demagogy, by ex- travagant promises, by emotional appeals. Power has been won: pro- mises are at once forgotten, and the men who were ‘I0 “free Germany" settle down to batten on the spoils and to wreak a half-mad vengeance on all who oppose them.

It has become evident that the

world, White Paper, In¢iia's future

constitution assumes definite shape. Indillfs obvious duty is to accept the White Paper as n basis for discussion to the Select Committee, to pre- pare to drive home the points which she considers essential, and to meet land overcome die-hard opposition. ,That can only be done by a display of solidarity on the lines of earnest and helpful co-operation Tile task lies equally on the Princes and people of British India. We recall the pro-

wrulis more and loses all." '1‘ile goal of many years‘ endcnvolll' is before us; let us press forward manfuily to its attainment. ‘

When Chzmcelor Iliticr mentions

this salient feature of internal-10!1i1l relations, he cannot be accused of being on unsound ground. Let the other nations disarm alld Germany will be content to retain her 'pics- cnt disarmed status. But, if the other nations continue to balk at disarmament, then Germany de- mands the right to rearm. And, if the rigllt is not given, Herr Hitler illtilnates that Germany will with- draw from the League of Nations. In this respect, the German leader puts it squarely up to the others. They may not rcllsil thc challenge. but' there it is for them to do with as they will.

The world which Franklin Roose-

velt secs today is not the world that \Vilsoll saw. nor is it the world which Harding and Coolidge and Hoover saw through a haze of prosperity. It is a. world in which the doctrine of economic isolation and of savc-llinlscll-who-can has brought clit-throat competition and dammed-up trade. Explosions of anger, fright and despair break the

YOUR. PERSONAL APPEARANCE

I rccelltiy picked up a little book

giving various kinds of information, one item being thc value of the dif- ferent appeals in advertising.

It shelved the relative strength of

appeals; the highest possible value being 100 and the lowest 0. 'I‘hc ap- peals were hcaithfulncss, cleanli- ness, tinlc saved, appctizing, dur- ability, qunliiy, down a whoic list of 30 appeals. I was pleased to see that lleaitlltllillcss stood first with _92 but was amazed io fllld that at the hot- tonl of the list. was "beaut-ifylng" with a. score of only 10.

I then looked at the date on the

hook and found it was 1922. A I venture to say that “beautify- ing" is not at the bottom of the list to-day but likely right. at the top with healtllfuillcss because in these days women and girls, and men also, are intensely interested ill their per- sonal appcarlulcc.

And tile first thought from a

beauty standpoint is the skin. Thus all kinds of soaps, powders, oint- mcnts and creams are advertised making great claims as beautifylng agents. _

As sl mutt/er of fact it must be ad-

mitted that good soap with warm water is ll glrrtt. cleanser of the skin. Powders not only improve the ap- pearance of the skill but give a cer- tain amount of protection, absorb moisture, and are cooling. Oint- ments and creams give an addi- tional supply of oil to a. dry skin, making it soft and pliable,

You can thus see that there is

need of these ad\'cl'iised nrticles-'- soap, powder, oilltlnellts and creams.

}lowe\'er the proper hygiene or

health of the skin ricpcllds upon good health ilzlhils -proper sleep, exercise, fresil air, sulliigllt, diet, clothing and bathing-~\vhich ill pre- serving the health of all the timues of the body, preserve the health of the skill.

As mentioned before by Dr. W. A.

Pllscy, Chicago, no other _group of causes arc nlore active in producing diseases of the skin than improper dict, bad habits of eating and liv- ing, and the series of digestive dis- i turbances that gc with these.

If then your skin is rough, blotchy<

or itchy, try to locate the food or foods, often some oi’ the best and most nourisllillg foods, which may be causing the ir.~ita.tion, and either avoid tileln or use them in small quantities.

Although the Canadian census

cnumerates the Slwakers in 0809-55 of many different languages, the speakers of Scottish Gaelic are not included in this linguistic enumer- ation. This omission, which is un- fortunately rather typical of the official attitude in the Dominion towards the Gaelic language, in spite of the fact that many notable Canadians are from Gaelic-SPcak- ing homes, renders it difficult to find out how far the descendants of the eighteenth and nineteenth cen- tury Highland emigrants have pre- served their old language in their new home, sl. matter of no small sentimental and linguistic interest.

in order to obtain further infor-

mation upon this question, the writer had printed a._ehort ques- tionnaire upon the state of the Gaelic language in Canada, which was distributed to all ministers and priests of parishes in Cape Breton and Prince Edward ,Island and fn the counties of Pictou, Antigonish, and Gllysborough on the Nova Scotilm mainland. About 160 or so of these questionnaires were sent out. and all but about 30 received replies, many of which were accom- panied by very interesting letters supplementing the answers given. The questions were as follows :-

1_ Is Gaelic spoken in your parish?

If so, by about how many? And _by \vha.t proportion of the total populo.tion? Do the children speak English, or Gaelic, or both ?

Is Gaelic used in the schools? Are Gaelic services held in your church? If so, how often? Do you ever preach in Gaelic ?

5. Is your Gaelic congregation . large? Ol' declining? Does it consist mostly of old people ? Is Gaelic declining in your Par- ish. or holding its own? Is it, be-

3. 4.

fl.

in circulation? Or books read?

THE NUIWBER OF GAELIC SPEAKERS.

Unfortunately, not all correspon-

dents gave both the nlunber and the proportion ot' persons speaking Gaelic in their parish. This, 00- gether with those who did not re- ply, made the total number a.

fer at reduction so that the salary and pension combined would not exceed the full salary which the po- sition carried. The purpose was to cover cases of Civil servants draw- ing large salaries and who were al- so in receipt of large pensions, for instance, where the salary would leach $6,000 to $10,000 per year, and by reason of one's rank over- seas, the pension might be $1,000 or $2,000. Protests came in such num- bers that the proposal was dropped, but next year such pensions will bc subject to thc Income Tax; by that method the small wage eamer, with a. small pension, and therefore not subject in income tax, will not be affected.

It is probable that the actual

number is anything up to twice this figure. Many parishes showing a. large proportion of Gaelic speakers did not state _their number, while lt. would he nearly ilnpossiblc for urban correspondents, especially those igliorant, ol Gaelic tilclllsclves, to estimate the number of Gaelic speakers in their parishes.

THE STATE OF THE LANGUAGE

In nearly every case the language

was stated to be declining, and often to be corrupted with English words andexpresslons as well. In only four parisiles, those nf Inver- ness tCatholic). Whycoramagh (United Chllreh of Canada and Presbytel'iall parishes), Gabarus (United), and Frambols and Loch Lomond (Presbytel'ian), was It stated to be holding its own, though in several others, notably Judique (Catholic), Straihiorne and Lake All-lslle tunlleal, st. Amrs urnlwa) and'North 'Shore (Presbyterian), the decline was only gradual as yet. A11 these parishes are ln the island of Cape Breton, of which it can be said, so far as the non-French rural districts aro concerned, that it is as a. whole as Highland as any part of Scotland is today. In nearly every parish it was stated that the pro- portion of children speaking Gaelic was smaller, often a good deal smaller, than that of adults, though in several cases it was said that children, brought up at home and in school to speak English, used to pick up Gaelic from their elders after leaving school, not, however, learning it very well in this way. It was clearly evident that further decline is inevitable, the younger generation as a whole tending to grow up either ignorant, or with only a smattering of the language.

GAELIC IN THE CHURCHES

This is, best studied with refer-

ence to the percentages of Gaelic speakers in the parishes.

It is evident that there are scarc-

ely thc llulllber of Gaelic services held that might be expected: there are 24 parishes where more than 60 per ccllt. of thc people speak Gae- lic, but, only eight where Gaelic is preached more than ollcc it month. M8111’ Gaelic pnrlslles lack Gaelic _

' (Manchester Guardian) It may seem a trifle late in the

day for a new protest against the use of Christian names by children in addressing, or referring to, their parents, but' it may be conceded that such seeming disrespect would have horrified the mid-Victorians, whose rules about the use of in- timate designations were almost incredibly strict. Sir .Algernon West recorded that in his early days very few ladies addressed even their husbands by their Christian names, and that he had never once heard his own mother so address his father. Between bro- thers and sisters, after they had left childhood behind, the same formality was observed. Lady Jer- sey recalled time ner father, Lol-fl Westmorland, though extremely fond of his sister, never called her anything but Lady Lonsdale, and Henry Greville remembered that when his mother used to take him, as a boy, to stay with her brother, the Duke of Portland, the Duke, on coming down in the morning, would say, “How is your ladyship this morning?" and she would re- ply with all solemnlty, "I am quite well, I am obliged to your Grace.”

"Do I really need brushing off?"

asked the passenger in the Pull- man.

"Does you!" exclaimed the por-

ter, with great emphasis. "Boss, I’se brokel"

" Insurance for 0h|IlIren__

"I urge every father and mother as they are

interested in the future of their children to see that they are taught the purpose and value of life insurance. Parents should help their children to take out policies at as early an age as possible. Taking out such policies and then turning them over to the children as soon as they are self- supporting starts them out ln life with a gift of real value and assists them In acquiring early a sense of responsibility and habit of saving which will help them throughout their lives.”
