His recent article on the affliction of deafness evinces advanced knowledge of the those suffering from the discour- aging handicap. There are, how- ever. one or two phases of the matter that he, no doubt for the sake of brevity. overlooked. There is nutch somewhat sound wisdom in the old saylnk that an ounce of prevention is lyorth a pottnd of cure. Consulting an eminent nurlsl. many years ago-one who was consulted by sitlfcrers from manv parts of the world, he said that; in my case there Was an inherent tendency to the affliction, but lt was quite probable that with pro- per care in early life, it. would not have developed. The old cold schoolhouses where little ones often with wet feet. and clothes sat and shlvercd. no doubt handicapped many a one for life. The old-fashioned schoolmaster. who pulled and boxed the little ones‘ ears was literally a wolf in sheep's clothing.

Tortured by the shafts of ridi- cule, abashcd and embarrassed. the sufferer often loses courage, confidence and hope. That fable of the boys and the frogs should not be forgotten in the schools. The little ones should be taught. and trained to sympa- thize with those suffering from any handicap. I am, Slr, etc, EXPERIENCE.

They con- sist of eight snmll islands. all coral like so many of the Pacific glottps, and their total area ls l6 square miles. Except on Sydney and Hull island-s. they are almost devoid of vegetation. The only product of value ls guano, but rcccntly claim was latd to the islands by the United States, although they were annexed by Brita-in in 1889-1892.

It wlll probably cause a meas- ure of troubled surprise in offl- cial Liberal circles, but ll. will be cordially applauded by nearly every urban taxpayer in the land and welcomed Wllh gratification by every mayor and city council from Glace Bay to Nanalmo. Assumption by the Domlnlon government of relief costs means placing the whole scheme of un- employment. ald on'a national basis. And that ls what all stu- dents of taxation and relief ad- ministration have claimed right along. Years ago it became fairly plain that this was not only the logical thing to do but that it must almost inevitably follow. Two powerful arguments at least. can be used to support Dr. Marriott's proposal. One ls that unemployment, aid ls essentially a. ltatlonal responsibility. It ls unfun- to make it primarily the concern of the municipalities. These, it is true, are aided, and sometimes generously, by the provincial and federal govern- ments. But the municipalities have to bear the whole of the overhead cost and they have b0 attempt. to deal with a stniatloxi the remedies for which lte clear- ly withln the field of Dominion legislation. Another consideration tn this connection is that-the system of grants-ln-ald as currently order- ed tends to keep federal mints- tcrs aloof from the problem of feeding and sheltering the faintl- les on relief. This remoteness from actual contact does not. make for s. progressive national policy, but rather encourages drift and evasion. as has been gggcsznstrated during the last few A second strong argument la that mentioned by Dr. Manion. It lsthat the present relief sys- tem is tmposing an lxksome and frequently inequitable load of taxation on the municipal rate- payer. ‘The municipal ravepnyer ls, generally speaking, the own- er of a home or a store or a workshop. It: has been proved with u. startling array of facts and figures submitted to the Howell Commission that. this same ratepuyer ls just. about taxed to the limit, primarily be- cause local revenue is based on property assessments. ' has been stated that: a na- tional basis for relief la the log- lcnl course to follow. This ls so for several reasons. One ls that It. ts entirely probable that un- employment relief will have to continue for many years to come. Even if business as a whole rlses to its old production levels, there wlll stlll be thousands o! Canad- ians who will need state ald to be kept alive. Technological tm- provements alone make this un- avoidable. It takes far fewer men today to produce goods and ser- vlces equnl- to total national pro- ductlon of these tn i929. Another reason why the assumption by Ottawa of the cost of relief ,ls logical ts that (greater uniformity and equality tn allowances would be made possible. We have a situation to- day in some parts of Canada where poor famllles move from one community to another in or- der w obtain a higher level of public assistance. Some are even refldy to eke out an existence akin to semi-starvation for a year or more tn order to qualify for the more generous allow- B11095. Dr. Manlonk statement of pol- lcy on this Issue is most welcome. It. must surely lend to action on the pnrt: of the present aclmlnls- tratlon. If 1t does not, then Dr. Mantorvs hand wlll be enormous- ly strengthened when the next appeal to the country is made. ‘Education’ (St. John Telegraph-Journal) A variously distinguished bodv of men interested tn education on a irrational. and even lartler scale will gather tn Saint. John today and tomorrow. Needless to say. Saint John welcomes them heart.- lly. The conventions are jointly and severally those of the Cana- dian Jiklucatton Association. the Canadian Assoclatlon for adult. education and the Canadian han- dicraft guild. From first. to last these embrace bratty well every- thlng that: can be classed as edu- catlonal. It ls at first, sight. an anomalv that a subject of such universal concern as education should. zen- erally sneaking. be controlled bv local public authorities. The broad- est, flights of human intelligence are directed by the narrowest gov- ernment device. Mankinds march through knowledge to wisdom isln the lust analysis planned by school boards.

The National Coun- cll of Education Ls not a cover-n- ment. bodv and even when lb comes to the Canadian Fxtucatlon Association lt. ls not. otflctal. The latter has. however. an extremely useful function. It. brliuzs together annually for a discussion of lead- tng problems the intelligentsia of all the brovtnctal education insti- tuttons. the luminaries of Cana- dian universities and the nrovln- cial heads of educational admAn- lstratlon. ministers and deputy ministers in charge of the depart.- ments that. balance and adjust the ideal and political sides of educa- tton.

The average person does not think about his health but he does think about. the impression he wlll make, hts soclal standing, hls capabilities, his ablltty to beat a neighbor at a game, his chances of promotion and his nu- pearance. And there are very few men and women, whatever they say, who, in their hearts would not like to meet. their social circle with a greater confidence, their occupation with more proficiency, their embnrrassments with calmer self assurance, their domestic life with more complacent certainty, and the world in general with the additional cheerfulness and vigor which renders llfe a vivid actual- ity rather than a passage or ex- istence." l I am quotln Dr. T.

The trouble with the average person and his physicians ls that neither of them ts Interested in the other unless some real disease ts present. Yet, as Dr. Todd points out, disease to-day has changed. "It no longer slays ruthlessly tn epldemtcs. but tnsldtously (secret- ly). cripples hearts, harden: art.- ertes, ruins teeth, warps and attmts development, shatters nerves, and produces morbid moods and mnn- ners which destroy or cripple con- fidence and efficiency."
