Gibbons, Wingham, Mrs. Palmer, Hamilton, Mrs. Gray. Dr. J. H.' Holbroke, Medical Super - intendant of the Mountain Sanitor- ium, Hamilton, was introduced by Mr. Fultz. Dr. Holbroke spoke on the handling of Tubercolosis in Great Britain, France, Italy and Switzer- land. He described a trip with sixty two Canadians through rural England then to the Continent and back to Edinburgh and Glasgow, Scotland. He spoke of the work done with the Tuberculor and crippeld children of Wales as being ahead of anything done in Canada. In France he said were two types of caring for Tuber- culosis, both being up-to-date. In Nancy the patients are cared for in an institution made possible by the generosity of a patriotic French gentleman, who, at his own expense, organized this section of France. He spoke of always having a wrong impression of Italy, and credited this country as being the. cradle of civilization, and art. Mus- solini and his cabinet introduced state institutions. He spoke of: 10,- 000 strangers in the City of Rome to attend the Conference. It was most interesting to see traces of Ancient civilization. The opening of the Con- gress was held in the old Hall of Caesar on the Capitalin Hill, and the opening address was given by Mus- solini. He said Switzerland had a different type, of institution, well-equipped and more nearly resembling -our own in- stitution. It was a country of sun- shine and the hospitals high up on the mountains were an interesting sight. He was in favor of the Roleau sy- stem of sun treatment for Bone Tub- erculosis, but thought it hampered in Chest Tuberculosis. Canadian Sanitoria, said he, can give as up-to-date service as Switzer- land and better than British institut- ions. Quebec and Saskatchewan are away ahead of Ontario in health mat- ters. He advocated; prevention of disease and said 50% of cost should be defrayed by the Province. The organized Health department in Russia has 75% of Doctors in pay of the state. England is leading in Nationalization, a change is `due. Health said he "Should be a birth- right, instead of a side issue." On motion of Mrs. A. T. Edwards .of London, a hearty vote of thanks his ad - was given Dr. Holbroke for 1 dress. The morning session then adjourn- ed and all enjoyed the bounteous luncheon served by the nursing staff. in the dining rooms of the nurses' home of C. G. H.

Miss Jean Hampson, of Toronto, gave a splendid address and demon- stration on Occasional Theraphy. Miss Hampson is in . charge of the work at 'Wellesley school for Cripp- led Children. There are three class rooms in this school with 16 children per room. There is: a dining room where hot lunches are served at 15c each. There are three teachers, a matron and an assistant matron. Four busses provide transportation as most the childen� are leg cases. It costs 90c per day to bring children to school. All grades are taught and ages range from 6 to 20. The cases are in three divisions, Infantile Par- alysis, Spastic Paralysis and incurab- les. One boy- with paralysis of both arms and both legs refused to take the time front school to be operated ort. He had an operation on one arm during Easter holidays and an- other at Christmas. ' Ways of over- coming the handicaps of those child- ren were demonstrated. For one child footsteps were painted on the floor and the child tried to walk in thein. For another, small sets of steps were built, and after many weeks the difficulty would be over- come. Standing on one•good foot and kicking small wooden 'blocks with the lame foot was quite a pas- time. A grindstone with wool glued on, made a shoe polisher. Mary, who has no use of her hands works a loom with her foot. She wove a hand bag and won a prize at the Exhibi- tion. Margaret's right arm was very bad. She was taught to' pick out not- es on the piano. At first she could only raise the hand 5 inches, in one year she could raise her hand 24 in- ches. One girl cut patterns of Linoleum pasted it neatly to canvas, painted dots between and hemstitched canvas all with one left 'hand, and was mon- ths at the work. She won second prize at the Exhibition. They have a mouth organ band at the school and three out of five priz- es were won by crippled children. A typewriter was :used for exercising crippled fingers. A boy with hands turned in at the wrists works at bas- ketry and wrists are gradually strai- ghtening. Spastic cases—some have to be taught to walk, some use a baby - walker, other crutches. Spastics find it hard to learn to write as their hands are very sha'lcy. They are first taught to dress and. undress pieces of cloth which are placed in frames,. one has buttons and the other button holes, extra large. After that comes dome fasteners, theta 'hooks and eyes, then tapes to tie and untie. By the time the patients have mastered these they can open and close ,their own. garments. Drooling at the mouth is corrected by blowing out candles, blowing bal- loons, whistling and chewing gum. Two boys 16 and 18, will never be able to walls or: write and cannot ev- en tarn a page in a book, yet are very bright at school work. The incurables are the saddest., one child with creeping paralysis` cannot raise his hand: to his head. He will grow. worse and can never be cured. One boy twenty years old and in 3rd form, is interested in sports and plays the stock market in a small way. He can also use the typewriter but is an incurable.
