We would have a much better world, a grand World, indeed, were the qualities that animated the Canadian people in that period to be projected into the inter* national. re.alm..ljy^dll the peoples: of the world. Civilization may be said-to becaving-in and all humanity to be in danger -of being overwhelmed and I from that fate the world cannot be saved unless people of goodwill stand together loyally and courageously and .bring intq full play the qualities of unselfishness, patience, faith, cooper ation and resourcefulness that were so prominent In the work of rescue. . -tiToron(o Star.

A comparatively short time ago ‘ Soskatchewan tackled the problem df tuberculosis deaths and so successful ly has it done so that now the com- t . munity has the second lowest death rate from this cause in the world. So ’ ndw comes the announcement that the Anti-tubcrculdsis league there, has ■ ■ arranged to cover the cost of tubercu lin tests which the medical praction- ers may desire to make. Two further suggestions spurred on by' the news.^ from the T.B. front are that cancer -•skican be attacked in the same way, and secondly, that the maternal death rate should be- studied. Dr. F. H.

Valuable Asset to Com munity; Finds Many , arices No Profit for City ' As far as a municipality is concern ed the„re is no profit at all in taking property for taxes. True the city gets Its taxes possessed of the property, but after that nearly all of the property is even worse than an inactive asset because it is generally vacant land or undes irable residential property. Arter the city gets it there is no taxation rev enue. The point being argued at Ham ilton of allowing the owners to have any profit which may be made is so remote that It is hardly worth bother ing about. — PetepMfobgh Examiner.

Indian Affair^, Washington, told a. meeting of the Ontario Educational Association that the trained public health nurse was one of the most valuable assets a community could have, but that- she was not always allowed to use her professionar ability to the degree Ker \ trailing warranted. . - Her place, said Miss Jean, was not in- the classroom instructing^ children in health, but. u-ather in the homes and in.the community, serving to cre ate confidence in scientific health pro cedures, explaining, persuading and organizing, so that thet school physi- • cian’s advice might be put into effect. ' The addition of . school luncheons, for the pupils' who are not able to "get home was another measure urged-1 by Miss Jean. When pupils were able to bring their own lunches,; hot dish- " es of some kind, such as cocoa or. soup, should be provided to suppler ment the cold food. Mass meetings of the parents in the schools,"clubs and churches were important to the - promotion of healthy children, Miss Jean believ ed. It was only by instilling in. the minds of the parents the importance of health rules that the children could be trained along correct, lines. ‘ W. P. Oa||ces, principal'of the Cen tral'School of Commerce, Hamilton; told'the meeting that students in his school were showing great interest \ and enthlusiasm ih the regular visits of the nurse, Which vindicated that, a new attitude was developing toward health services on the part -of thr boys and girls of todhy.

The stewardess must be a register ed nurse- explains an air line repres entative “because ^the institutionally trained girl has an understanding of discipline and a knowledge of how to deal with the public that is required in the job. of stewardess.” The stewardess may not be “beau tiful but dumb/ She must have sense enough to car ry her end of almost any Conversa tion.
