ti.A1-41411 EDUCATION
BY DR. J. J. MIDDLETON
Provincial aoard of Health, Ontario,
D. Middleton will be glad to answer atleitions on Pilbec Health mate
ters through this column. Addrese him at Spading House, Spading
Creecent, Toronto.
How many communicable or Wee-,
tious diseasee can be avoided? That'
is a questioi of interest to everybody,
but in the case of children, it is espe-
eially imporearA to know something
about it One way to avoid these die
-
eases is to keep away from people
elm are sick and from places -where
these diseases exit. This advice is
especially good for children. If you
come near a chid having one of these
contagious diseases, you may be ex-
posed to breatbiug the germs when
they are thrown out into the air by
the sick child coughing. As a result,
you may become sick also, so it is good
advice to shun the company of all who
are sick with any disease that inight
be contagious. As far as school ail-
lren are concerned, there is another
point to observe. Never borrow a
pencil, a pen,• or a book, etc., from
another child, and also'never carry to
your mouth such articles as pencils,
pens, etc., that may have been in the
mouths of others. Th. school child
should also remember to evoid moist-
ening its finger in turni e over the
leaves of a book, for on the pencil,
the pen, the leaves of the book, may
be hundreds and thousands of germs
which may directly or indirectly find
their way into the child's mouth. A
third precaution is to never allow a
sick child to go to school. If you find
that a child is or seems sick, report
this fact to the teacher at once. If
you learn that there ie. sickness in the
home of a child who goes to your'
school, immediately notify the teacher
that he matt send the child home, be-
cause the seek child may spread con-
tagion through the school.
These precautions should still more
rigorously be adhered to when there
nee many cases of contagious disease
in a municipality, and when thin out-
break is known to the school author-
ities. The removal of a sick child
from school, even at the onset of the
disease, is a sound means of protection
in that it removes. the source of the
danger from the school.
Ie order to wage a successful fight
against all forms of ill -health and dis-
ease, the education of the young and
especially; of the children of school age
4n health matters is imperative. The
IN:Wren of to -day will be men and
women of to -morrow, and if the chi -
dren of to -day learn the principles of
hygiene, tbe men and women of to-
morrow will put them into practice.
Grown-up people do not very readily
learn anything of interest to their
heath and well-being. The reason is
that they have developed set habits,
and have got, as it were, into a rut
from which they cannot extricate
themselves, and when they are in this
rut, their viewpoint is narrowed and
their vision clouded, They cannot see
e
heyontheir own limited experience,
and they have the' tendeney to sneer
at, or try to minimize the importance
of any new efforts- to preserve the
health of the individual or the com-
munity.
So it is to the child that we pin our
faith. The elastic mind of the child
is- receptive to good influences and
sound teaching, and if guided along
right paths, -will have a tendency at
least to put them into practice all
through the later years, The Biblical
adage holds -true in health matters as
well as other phases of life. "Teach
the child the way he ehould go and
when he is old he -will not depart from
it."

Early. Beginninge,
The evolution of the Boy Scout
movement is intereatine, Its Reed ger.
urinated in South Africa. Tbie is
what Sir Robert says:—"In 1901., I
reload the South African Constabulary
on lines of my own, the principles of
which -were practically those of the
Scout training applicable to men, The
troop was made a small unit in order
that the Commander should be able
to deal with each Individual on per-
sonal knowledge of him. The human
side was appealed to and the men
were trusted on their honor to a very
large degree in carrying out their
duties, Tho uniform was the Cowboy
hat, shirt green tie, and shorts.
Badges were awarded for proficiency
In different lines of work.
"After return to England, in 1904, I
schemed some ideas for Scouting as a
training for boys. In 1907, I held a
trial camp for Scout training, Brown -
sea Island, at -which 8 had the boys of
other scbools to experiment on, and
its result eiceeeded mY expectations
and prompted me to go on with the
idea."
From these beginnings the move-
ment grew so rapidly that Sir Robert
found it necessary to devote his -whole
time to Its direction.
Why It Appeals,
With a view to malting the sublect
of Scouting appeal to boys and to mee
their spirit In adventure, he held u
for their ideal tbe deengs of back
svoodsmen and knights, adventurer
and explorers, as the heroes for them
to follow. These were grouped gener
ally under the title of Scouts. In the
camp life, boat work, pioneering, an
nature study, one could end all th
attractions for a boy whinh at th
same time would be the medium o
instruction. Sir Robert worked it ou
partly from his own experience and
partly from' the general feeling of
what was lacking in the training of
'the average school boy. The.deficiency lay chiefly in the direction of char-
, acter and general intelligence; skill of
handicraft; services for °there and
the State; physical development and
health knowledge. The activities and practices of Scouting were, therefore,
framed as tar as possible to develop
these attributes.
Ideals,
Honor was made the high ideal for
the boys. The Snout Law on which
the movement hinged was taken from
the code of the knights.
Organization.
The troop was purposely kept small
in numbers in order'
shthat the Scout-
master ould have personal know-
ledge of each of his boys, this being
the only poesibb5 way for developing
the .character of the individual. The
patrol system was adopted from tbat
at the Constabelary, and for the same
reason. .
The Alm.
d
Beyond Belief.
The professor had been dining out,
and as most of the guests were ardent
fishermen, he bad had to listen all the
evening to stories of the size of their
catches.
He was extremely short-sighted, and
as he was crossing a field on his way
home he came across a scarecrow with
arms widespread. Memories of the
"tall" stories he had heard that night
floated back to him, and he halted in
trent of the scarecrow.
"My dear sir," he exclaimed, "I
simply refuse to believe you; there
never was a trout that length."

WOIIIIIES 1 TIIE HOME
It is These That Cause Many a
Breakdown in Health.
Almost every woman at the head of
a home meets daily With little worries
in her household affairs. They may
be too small to notice an hour after-
wards, but it is the same little worries
that break down the health of so many
women. Their effect may be noticed
in nervous headaches, fickle appetite,
Indigestion, pains M the side or back,
and, a sallow complexion. To those
afflicted in this way Dr. Williams'
Pink Pills, by improving and purifying
the blood, bring speedy relief. Among
thousapds of Weak women who have
tested and proved the merits of this
medicine is Mrs. Gustave Hutt, Brux-
elles, Man., who says:—"It Is with
Profound thanks that I write to tell
you what Dr, Williams' Pink Pills
have done for me. Before I began tak-
ing these pills I was weak, and my
blood thin and watery. I was so thin
that I looked like a skeleton. I was
troubled with headaches and indiges-
tion, did not sleep well, and was' ter-
ribly constipated. I decided to try
Dr. Williams' Pink Pills and I soon,
found that they were just what I
needed. Hader their use ray aPPe-
the returned, my Mod digested pro-
perly, and I slept better at night, and
gained in flesh as well as strength.
The result is that now I am a per-
fectly healthy woman, and there is no
doubt that it is due to the use of Dr.
-Williams' Pink Pills, a supply of which
I now always keep in the house, and
I would advise other women to do the

EASY TRIMS
Ask Your Neighbor
Hand a friend a slip of paper and
a pencil and ask him to write on
the paper any number he likes.
Stand some distance away so that
you cannot see what he write. Ask
him to ask hie left hand neighbor
to whisper any number to him and
give Mtn the choice of adding it to
the number he wrote, subtracting it
from the number he wrote or ignor-
ing it altogether. Ask him to ask
hie right hand neighbor to menden
any number to him. He may add
this, subtract It, multiply by it or
divide by It. He is to take the sum
be now has and multiply by any
multiple of 9.
Then for the finish of the trick, In
which the friend loses a little of his
freedom of action. Ile is to oross
out any digit in the product except-
ing a cipher and to mention to you
the digits he did not cross out. Im-
mediately you will tell him the
number he crossed out.
The secret is that you add the
digits he gives you and subtract
their total from the next multiple
of 9. The remainder will be the
number struck out.
