There is decided merit in the pro-,

the provincial Minister of Health,
that the word “insane” shall be de
leted .from Ontario’s statutes wher-

by the phrase . “mentally ill and de-
/■. fective.” We have made much pro
gress from that dinf period in which
individuals suffering from mental
illness were considered to be in such

from the world for the remainder of
their days.—Brockville Recorder,

, It io, perhaps, the. modern symp
tom of the wanderlust to which man
kind in past ages wks. able to give
rein in the mass. Wanderlust is won-
derulst; longing for the . unknown
things to be! seen at the' end of
strange waters. Individuals ,of all
ageis and all* generations have known
it—have . felt - it dragging' them- from
the beaten tracks to trails, that lead1
into unchar ted regions; Some’never*
return. Some return in rags, weary
arid broken, with scars to prove their
adventures. A few returff in fine Tai-
ment, enriched, with stirring tales
of good, things' found arid evidence
that bears them out. . Wanderlust
takes many forms.
.' Sometimes it gets into the feet and
pulls its victims along strange paths
towards wondrous-plhces, new lands,
unexplored wastes. Sometimes it gets
into the mind and leads towards
istrange theories, and after strange
«$bjectives, some oit them real, some
chimerical, some good, some bad.
Sometimes the lure of the unknown
draws toward strange political, morj
al, social, economic pr metaphysical
“isihs”—some of which prove soupd
and safe, but' isorne unsourid and
deadly dangerous. Many wanderers
perish on their journeys along
strange mental; lines.. Others return,
sadder and wis^*; * ' \ -
