paint 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.
"Children need 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

The two serious complications are
broncho -pneumonia and tuberculosis,
but other cdmplications are the in-
fections of eyes and ears. •
Here are some simple factsone
ought to know about measles:: It is
the most infectious of the communi-
cable diseases of childhood. Nearly
every child that is exposed takes this.
disease. It is often contracted be-
tween five and fifteen years of age,
but is most common during the first
five years of life. The general death
rate of this disease is not less than
four per cent. of all cases.
Wim 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, arm"s and legs. - The eruption
begins with small reddish spots ap-
!peering in groups that have a ten-
dency to form irregular crescents.
iSince measles is so highly commun-
icable and since a high death -rate ate
'tends complications therefrom, it is
!important that eine should prevent or
postpone this disease as long as pos-
sible, for the highest mortality occurs
'in children under two years of age.
Quarantine may not completely
stamp out measles but if the qquaran-
tine is. effective and if parents will
guard their children against infection
the number of cases would be very
eonsiderajly reduced, and there would
be many less sufferers from the ser-
eath. ious after-effects of the disease.
London's Greatest Men.
There ha;,recently been a consider-
able amount of discussion regarding
London's small share of great men in
proportion to its population. For this
reason, we give a short selection of
London men who have added to their
city's prestige.
Going back to the fourteenth cen-
tury, we find Chaucer, who was born
in Thames Street, and later, Spenser,
a native of East Smithfield.
Then there was John Milton, born
In the parish of Bread Street, off
Cheapside; Thomas a Becket, whose
effigy graced the first seal of the City
of London; and Miss Coverdale, of
Threadneedle Street, who made the
first, translation of the Bible.
From Cheapside we have the poet,
Robert Herrick; while Michael Fara-
day, scientist and electrician of world
renown, Came from Newington.
Old Broad. Street boasts of Cardinal
Newman, author of "Lead, kindly
Light," the greatest hymn of modem
Blues. John Keats, Samuel Pepys, and
Thomas Gray were all natives of Lon-
don, -
To decide who are Londoners is of-
ten a very diftloult job, for although a
man may have been born in the coup -
try, a$ soon as he lives and works in
London he seems to become a London-
er automatically.
CANADIAN NATIONAL RAILWAYS ADOPT RADIO
The announcement by Mr. W. D. Robb, Vice -President, that the Cana-
dian National Railways will equip all their hotels and transcontinental trains
with radio receiving sets and broadcast to them messages, news and pro-
grame,of entertainment, marks a distinct forward step in radia development.
It is the first time that radio has been adopted as a part of the regular ser-
vice of a rail transportation system, The photograph shows Mr. Robb in
Montreal, delivering into the microphone, the lestrumeut which broadcasts
the voice by radio waves, a message to Canadian National Railways' em-
ployees and the general public. This message was heard as far 'south as
Carolina, as,far west as Chicago and as far east as Halifax,

human vanity to persist after one has

office in the morning, as you take a
train for anywhere, as you look from
the window at scurrying holiday shop-

men hastening from factory or foun-
dry or children rushing pell-mell from
school, the sense of the sheer number
of people there are in the world and
claiming a living from it becomes at
times almost oppressive.
You feel "What am I among so
many? What difference would it
make if I gave up or went under?
There is a vast, increasing horde
ready to carry on the world's business
even better than I can accomplish my
futile fraction of the huge integer."
Away off yonder in the hinterland

Canadian Public Schools!
Should Have Concert
Courses.
The greatest need of public school
music in Canada is a closer contact
with real music. To -day, there is too
mubh talking about music and not
enough music first hand, The teacher
who spends four-fifths of the music
period teaching scales building, names
of keys, and other teclmical problems,
instead of teaching children to sing
beautiful songs that will result in cre-
ating a lasting eagerness for more
singing, has lost sight of her objective,
If a half hour a day were given to
music, more time might be allowed
for the teacher of music theory; but
there must be more music in the few
minutes allotted to us.
Children are learning to hear
through lessons with the phonograph;
but too often the phonograph lesson
ends all, when it should serve just as
a stepping -stone leading to the real
concert. An artist's course should be
a part of the music plan for every
school system. Larger cities should
have a symphony series for all chil-
dren over ten, not a favored few.
Surely smaller cities can have a ser-
ies of concerts given by musicians of
the neighborhood with an occasional
out-of-town artist. Carefully planned
concert course in the public school,
with proper preparation for the same
in the schoolroom, will make Canada
musical.
