Ontario Government Makes
Change in University
• Control.
Since 1906 the University of To-
ronto has been Managed by a Board of
Governors appointed by the Lieuten-
ant-Governor-M-Couneil. This Board
is really a Government Commission,
made up of twenty-four members re-
tiring at regnlar intervals,' „For some
years the graduates of the Provincial
University have been asking for rep-
resentation on the Board of Governors
and to their remiesta the Government
complied by means of an amendment,
in March,1024, to the University Act.
'New hope for the war -blind of
France is held out in a report of the
work being done by Dr, G. Bonnefon,
°enlist, who slime the war has been
treating cases of blindness considered
incurable. Out of 280 :patients "totally
blind he hes found fourteen who could
be successfully operated Upon with at
least partial restoration of sight, says
a Paris despatch.
Dr. Botiaefon first operated on a
blinded soldier almost three years ago,
but for .wo years made no public re-
port in order not to arouse false hopes.
His report this year, he states, was
made only after great hesitation, but
due to the encouraging results of his
work he felt justified in announcing to
the blind that "they may have confi-
dence in science and in the devotion of
French oculists—all whose condition
earl be improved or relieved will be
treated to the last man."
In regard to the fourteen operations
the eminent oculist reports as follows
"Five cases of re-establishment of vi-
sion, sufficient to permit the patient
to resume his normal life.
'Four oases of re-establishment oe
the ability to distinguish forms and
colors. In two of these cases an enu-
cleation operation had been made in
order to relieve the incessant pains in
the oyes. Since this operation, which
was performed some five or six months
ago, these met have been completely
free from such pain.
"Two cases of improvement in re-

sivaroped.
Smyth immediately paddled bad, to
Dover after this unsuccessful- attempt
and the next day started out again.
This,tirne he was able to prccee-i toi a
straight course "for France: From
Calais he came to Paris by river and
canal; the most pleasant part of his

will suirt the shores of the Mediter-
roman until he reaches the mouth of
the Arno, and then paddle up this
stream into the Tiber and thence to
Rome. The trip from. Paris to "tome
_will take ;About ten weeks.
As a matter of fact, -there are not
many blind babies. There ought tb
be none. Blindness in babies is ale
most wholly preventable. if doctors
'and nurses arid mid -wives are as care-
ful and skillful as they ought to be.
He had raised about $2,000 for the
Home. This money, until lately, was
on the hands of the trustees, who were
perplexed to know what to do with it.
They took counsel of an experiericed
social lea.der who advised them to con-
sult with the Canadian National In-
stitute for the 131ind. This they did
with the result that the, money is be-
ing handed over to the Institute to be
used for the purpose of either caring
for or giving sight to blind children;
which is often possible, or in Moil: -
educational work for the prevention
of blindness in babies by securing
proper care at their birth. A simple
solution applied to the eyes of the new'
born babe makes sure that it will not
be blind even though there were in its
eyes the creeds of blindness because of
disease of the mother.
One such blind child recently in a
western village was discovered by a
worker for the Institute for the Blind,
taken to a city,"operated on, had its
sight restored or bestowed and Is now
happy in God's sunlight and in all
the matchless beauty of the world and
faxes life almost wholly unharglicap-
ped. How much better to put this
money to such use rather than to
establish a new "Institution" to be a
burden and a source of perplexity to
future generations of kindly disposed
People?
Another fad of kindly but socially
untrained people, is to launch the
building of great orphanages for little
ehildren. Any worker of social ex-
perience knows that to place these
