A.1.1D-W 0Eir Children's Health—Or Ilnhealth? Here are a few extracts front the repurtg of a physician on conditions as he found them in a certain State to the south of us. Do these condi- tions also prevail in our own fair land? I am afraid they do. This is what he says: "Not to bring up a child in the way he should go, physically, men- tally and morally, is a terrible sin of omission. 'That the-hpysical condition of our children is deplorable appears in the statistics of every medical inspection that has beenepublisheda "Who are we that seventy per cent. of our school children should have rotten,, teeth,?. Who are we that thoagarids of our children are born of diseased parents? , Who are we that thousands of ;our children, on ac - f vicious environnent• wicked neglect, are allowed to be diseased and refective? Who are we. that because of forcing bad air, bad food and bad sanitation upon our children they take on tuberculosis and "Ignorance is not our excuse and we are not ignorant. , On the con- trary, we know, but we seem not to uncle;stand, and certainly are not sufficiently 'practical to make uge of our knowledge. "Nowhere is there greater disobedi- ence of the laws of inheritance and the laws of.health than in rural dis- tricts. There, mating is wholly, en-• tirely and absolutely haphazard. And there laws of health and well-being are largely ignored. In cities, the conditions seem a wee bit better, for there typhoid is less, tuberculosis is perhaps less, and the death rate, leaving out accidental deaths, is less. In cities, people more thoroughly separate themselves from their sew- age and the bath is more in evidence. Adenoids and defects of the nose and throat are more prevalent in the country than in Cities, and this despite the purer countay air. It still may be said the reason country air is so pure • is because the fanner ke s the bad. air inside. "As in the city echools, we also find in those of thgeountry the larg- er proportion, of children are neglect- ed. Bad teeth prevail to such a de- gree that we express surprise „when a good set is found. Coughs, colds and catarrh get every child one cm two tirnes every school terin, some sniffle through every day of the year. 'Cases of catarrh, weak and wa- tery eyes, and running ears are found, many dating from the, time the help- less youngsters had measles or scar- let rash. Einaelation from actual starvation is not occasional. In One 3n1Tal school of twenty-seven pupils I inmnd seven anemic, emaciated chil- dren, and five of hew were actually starving. One little wizened girl had had one batter cake with 'me- les.ses for breakfast., and in her din- ner bucket for lunch were one soggy biscuit and one apple. All of twenty- se,ven pupils in the school needed medical attention. There was not a child that did not have two or MOM. d.00ay ed teeth. Every child - had suffered from pine or mon attacks of so-called `cold' .during the winter, and sixteen said they had had colds ever since sehool epened in the fall." *The rest of the description of the achool and 'leacher kept mo, awake nights for a week, Se"I omit it to save, will be happier for yoa if yon have provided the, first 'step tor Your ehildren'a futine.

This is bad enough. Also his description of a primary room he visited in a city school where a consumptive teachee had stopped up the veatilation system be- cause she was chilly. The doctor draws the conclusion from his experience with parents that ,medical inspection and care of children mustbe made compulsory, just as was found necessary in the matter of education. Why not? Surely good health in our eoming citizens is of as great importance as education In fact, there can be lit- tle education without good health back of it for diseased body means also a weakened mind. • Your child and my child may be getting proper care., But are our neighbors'? Their tubercular chil- ren are a menace to ours. Isn't it tour right to see that they are taken care Helping Oa/ Returned Men. Writing on "Invisible Wounds" Capt. Arthur H. Samuels, says that the greater percentage of soldiers passing through reconstruction cen- tres are suffering from internal rath- er than outward surgical injuries, injuries, men aim are suffering from shell shock, for instance." They look', fit. "It will be difficult," he says, "in many instances for the business man. eager to open his door to the return- ed fighter to _understand why men' who look hale and hearty enoughwill be unable to go into certain jobs in volving heavy indoor work. ' They must not be passed by because their * sacrifices are not obvious." No small part of the keen intuition that knows how to sympathize by silence and •unobstrusive helpfulness and that is so absolutely necessary in the great work of helping these men to "find themselves" rests with the women of every community. If the returned rnan becomes discouraged and out- classed after leaving the reconstruc- tion centres the fault will be found to rest almost invariably with the wo- men who have sympathized in unwise rather than helpful ways. Open corn miseration is often nothing less than refined cruelty and is never the beet sort of help. Thus there ,is added another phase to women's war work, study of the best ways of helping un- obtrusively. --Steal":17`170o Per 21,6far-ii:z-mmtms- I Cceyright agragaten rairfue. compan,ye bY special arrangement with Taloa. ea CI-IAPTER XXXL--(Cont'd.) , see, Jerry, just as soon as 1 Cthl, I "I know..
