Christian service,
Selmer. Neese Rota Ramis —Wing -
ham Advance says "Macy will regret
to learn that Miss Robb, who has been
the tffietentschool uurse in this district
for the past year, bas handed in her
resignation. This resignation is, no
doubt, brought on by a marked iuclif-
Terence on the part of parents' and some
rural trustees. The old belief that
"What is good enough for us older
people is good enough for our children"
is entirely wrong and many of us would
have been better men and women if
school nurses bad been invented sooner.
Many a life was ruined because no one
cared if the boy or girl ever had a clean
face or if their teeth were clean. A
child with weak eyes sitting in the back
of the room could not be expected to
stand as high is his class as one who
could see every letter on the hoard.
They used to be just put down as slow
and dull and their eyes did not have to
be tested. Another child could sit in
school with filth and probably disease.
beside your really healthy child and
what of it? Not so with a school .nurse
on the job. We are afraid that some
people think more of the almighty dol-
lar than they do of the welfare of their
offspring. The reason we say these
things we know of a couple or rural
schools who have decided to discontinue
the school nurse system. The school
board and parents in Wingbam are al-
most unanimous in their praise for the
work done by the school nurse." Miss
Robb's work in connection with Brus-
sels school was very satisfacfoy and
followed by good results also.

Arthur Beauvais, an Indian from

no wonder, for Beauvais says he is
