11EALIti IUCATION
BY DR. J. J. MIDDLETON
Provincial Board of Health, Ontario
Er, Middleton will be glad to answer questions on Public ffealth 'nate
ters through this column. Address him at Spadina House, Spadina
Creacent, Toronto.
Measles appear to be somewhat
more prevalent in Ontario this year
t Ian it waselast year: Recent reports
show that up till the end of Novem-
ber there were 10,081 cases aa com•
-
pared with •8,950 cases during the en-
tire year 1922. Of course this disease
comes in waves every three years or
so, but measles would never gain the
headway it does, if clearer:tine meas-
ures were strictly adhered to. Until
a public consciousness is awakened to
this tact we will still have outbuests
of measles. Many parents adopt an
Inexplicable attitude with regard to
diseases of this kind. Because it is
the usual experience of child life to
encounter measles and other diseases
'childhood, these parents take the
point of view of "the sooner over, the
better," and exercise little care to
prevent these ailments. In fact they
almost act as if _they would like the
children to take measles and have
done with it.
Such an- idea is simply preposter-
ous. With proper care and foresight,
children need encounter little sick-
ness.
"Childrensneed.no more have child -
rens' diseases than a dog need have
fleas," is the terse way one writer
puts it. Parents are sadder and wiser
too often, when their offspring have
either died from measles, or incurred
some permanent disability as an -af-
termath of the disease For it is the
complications, and troubles that often
follow an attack of measles that cause
such a heavy toll of disability and
death
The two serious complications are
broncho -pneumonia and tuberculoe's,
but other complicetions_ are the in-
fections of eyes and ears.
• Here are some simple facts on
e
ought to know about measles:—It is
the most infectious of the commum-
cable diseases of childhood. Near y
every child that Is exposed takes this
disease. It is often contracted be-
tween five and fifteen years of age,
but is most connnon during the first
live years of life. The general death
rate of this disease is not less than
four per cent. of all cases.
17V1in the disease starts, the child
begins to sneeze and cough, the eyes
become red and watery and there is
sometimes a chill. A rash usually ap-
pears in about four days from the
onset, beginning on the face, neck and
head and frequently extending to the
trunk, arms and legs. The eruption
begins with small reddish spots ap-
pearingin groups that have a ten-
dency o form irregular crescents.
Since measles is so highly commun-
icable and since. a high death -rate at-
tends complications therefrom, it is
important that one should prevent or
postpone this disease as long as pos-
sible, for the higtest mortality occurs
in children under two years of age.
Quarantine may not completely
stamp out measles but if -the qquarane
tine ,is effective and if parents will
guard their children ,against infection
the number of cases would be very
considerably reduced, and there would
be many less sufferers from the ser-
ious after-effects of the disease.
All the Others: -
One of the results of _travel is to
• give the traveler to feel how many
sorts of people there are in the world
that is our comrnon heritage and how
many different ways there are of do-
ing things. It should be as heed for
conceit to survive a journey as for
'numan v-anity to persist,after one has
been looking at the stars on a cloud-
less winter night.

It should riot make us desperate to
realize the multitude with whom we
must compete. If we should fall, we
should find all the others strangely
kind and solicitous to help us re-
establish our footing in the crowd. Hu-
man sympathy is born of the knowl-
edge that -we are all fallible, and mor-
tal and that none can live unto him -
self alone. • And the crowd is not in-
viting our proud defiance; it forever
seeks a leader,: and it, too, needs. a
friend.

of people there are in the world and
claiming' a living from it becomes at
times ahnost oppressive.
You feel "What am 1 among so

make if I gave up or went under?
There is a vast, • increasing horde

Away off yonder in the hinterland

much of such isolation is not good for

The Making of Criminals.
BY DR: J. G. SHEARER.
The public, not only of Canada, but
of the Continent, has been regaled ad
nauseant with the career, the capture
under gun -fire the speedy trial, the
life sentence plus thirty lashes, the
re -incarceration in a solitary cell' in
Portsmouth Penitentiary of the life-
long and notorious criminal "Red"
Ryan. He evidently had censiderable
ability with cleverness and cunning
that is rare. He has robbed numbers
of people, held up bank and other in-
stitutions, fooled detectives, broken
out of the' supposedly most secure
prisons and not unlikely has taken
lives though murder has not been
brought home to him.
It is not his personal career with
its sad ending that we are concerned(
with. It is not even the causes in gen-1
eral or ,particular of crimes like his
that are holding the thought of the
writer. It is the effect upon Young
people, particularly well -grown boys,
of reading of the exceptionally clever,
daring and successful exploits of any
notorious criminal. Is it not certain
that their hearts will be fired with
admiration for these heroic deeds in
spite of or perhaps because of their
lawlessness? How splendid to be able
to fool the -police, even the clever de-
tectives, the prison guards and who

While. thinking -of this ease and the

which seems to me much more danger-
ous in the hands of our young people
them the story of Red Ryan and his
like. It is full of stpries interestingly
written that glorify crithe of all kinds1
with shameless vice and loose living,
and lawless adventure. For example,1
in one story the hero is a criminal
with a long record, but he is manly,
respectable in manner and appear-
ance, a real hero. He is clever, Cour-
ageous, ingenious, resenrcefull • He
lives without working and in myster-
ious ways replenishes his financial re-
sources from time to time and lives a
perfectly "ripping" 'life, as the Eng-
lish say. The heroine is young, beau-
• •
tiful, married, about to be divorced,
loose, out for adventure, flush •with
moheY•
• They meet on -,the open street, make
up, take a suite 'of. rooms in a high
class hotel, are arrested by detectives,
with extraordinary cleverness over-
power their captors, gag andtie them,
escape and go the rounds of the high
and low grade resorts of the great
metropolis one of which -is raided
while they are there. They escape
again almost miraculonely by •their
eleverness, recover' lost jewelry, meet
and beat up (the hero does) the hero-
ine' S deserting husband, and away
• they go madly in love with each other
after a picked -up acquaintance within
a few hours.
