Old Country Live Stock Men
Think Million Head May
Enter Great Britain.
A despatch from Ottawa says: -
Testifying before the committee that
is inquiring into agricultural condi-
tions, Deputy Minister of Agriculture
Grisdale said that many in the live-
stock trade in Great Britain evidently
believed that a big trade would result
from Canada, following the lifting of
the cattle 'embargo. • Indeed, some
seemed to think as many as a million
head might be got from this country.
An important point brought out was
that cattle shipped. from Ireland will
enter Britain under much easier con-
ditions
onditions than those from Canada,
though, after their arrival the condi-
tions are the same in both cases.
Thomas Sales drew information re-
specting the cost of shipping cattle
from the West to Liverpool, Dr. Gris-
dale venturing the opinion that the
cost from Winnipeg for an eleven hun-
dred pound beast would be from $45 to
$50. Mr. Sales thought that about
another $10 would have to be added
to charges from a mid -Saskatchewan
point, and concluded that, from pres-
ent prospects, there would not be
much in it for the Western farmer.
He thought that a beast sold• at $40
some years ago brought more profit
than one at $60 to -day.
Mr, Arkell gave the overhead
charges on an eleven hundred; pound
steer to Liverpool as follows: Frem
Toronto, $35; from 'Winnipeg, $44;
from,. Calgary, $47. The burden of
evidence was to show that the business
of shipping store cattle would be pro-
fitable for the eastern farmer,
Mr. Sales wanted to know if it
would not be possible to secure a
through rate on cattle shipped from
the West and fed in the East for ex-
port, so that the farmer might, in this
respect, be placed on the same level
with the millers who had a milling
in transit rate.

AUSTRALIA GETTING
OLD COUNTRY TRADE
Serious Inroads on British
Market for Canadian
Products.
A despatch from London says: -
New Zealand having already mads
serious inroads on the British market
for Canadian cheese with its Govern-
ment graded product, Australia now
threatens to steal a march on Canada
by the establishment of a national
standard of quality for all its primary
products.
A start has already been made with
Butter and cheese, duel .the British
market will soon receive supplies of
butter labelled with the national
brand "Kangaroo," which will guar-
antee that ithas been pasteurized, has
come from Australia, and will keep
for five months.
Similar action will be taken with
regard to canned fruits and dried
fruits.
There is a lesson here for Canada
whose canned fruits are constantly be-
ing criticized by British importers•on
the ground that they are not well
graded. For the same a contractor
to whom it was proposed to give a
catering contract for the British Em-
pire exhibition, objected to using Can-
adian canned fruit.
J. A. Ruddick, Dominion Dairy Com-
missioner, now en route to the An-
tipodes will, no doubt, look into the
advisability' of emulating .Australia's
example.

dental inspection of the children, iii
the schools of one of the southern
counties of Ontario, was 'carried by a
slight majority
of
the t zst es. One
of the three trustees of 'a certain
school section was very much opposed
to the scheme, saying, "The parents
of this section' of the country have
enough affection for their , children
and take enough interest in their• wel-
fare to provide medical and dental in-
spection far them when they need it.
We have skillful physicians for our
family doctors and most of the par-
ents take their children to the family
physician when they needa*any.atten-
tion. There is no need for any repre-
sentatives of the Department of
Education coming here to tell us how
we should attend to the medical needs
of our children." In spite of the pro-
tests of this trustee, however, a sur-
vey was made, by doctors and nurses,
of the children in many school sec-
tions, including the one of which - he
was a :trustee,
When the nurse name to this par-
ticular ,school section, the teacher
pointed 'out e little Irl of ten years
of age, whom she hesicated to describe
as dull and yet regretted that she did
net seen to be able to keep up with
the rest of the class. The nurse ini-
mediately took the little girl in band
and tested 'her eyesight, concluding
that she was partially blind. The
usual card was filled in and sent to
the child's patents, with the recom-
mendation that they donsult the fam-
ily physician with reference to the
child's sight.
A Startling Revelation.
It just happened that this little
girl was the daughter of the
trustee who protested against
medical and dental inspection in the
schools and although he resented the
interference of Government officials,
he complied with the suggestion and
took the little girl to the family doe -
tor. After a slight examination of
the child, the doctor said, "I am sorry
to tell you that your child is blind of
one eye and the other eye is also
affected. It must have been very dif-
ficult for her to read the writing• on
the blackboard at school and to keep
up with the rest of her class. The
sight of one eye is beyond recovery
but I will do my best to preserve that
of the other eye. If you had brought
her to me two years ago, I think I
could have saved the sight of both
eyes."
One can easily imagine the
feelings of the father, who professed
to have so "marked affection for his
children, when he learned that his lit-
tle girl was growing up in blindness
under his care. There would be no
limit to the sacrifice if the sight of
the blind eye could be recovered. He
should have dyad greater :appreciation
of the school rgulation that provides
for medical and dental inspection of
the children. There are, no doubt,
many children all over the Province
of Ontario, suffering from blindness,
deafness and' other handicaps because
parents and trustees are remiss in
their responsibility for the trust com-
mitted to them.
Good health is fundamental to in-
dividual and national prosperity. We
are making a great effort to improve
the courses of study in our schools
and provide better buildings and
equipment, but this will be of little
avail in producing intelligent citizens
1 if we do not take care of the health of
the children. A remarkable thing
about he.alth is that any coinrnunity
can have as much of it as the people
are willing to pay for. •
Forty -Seven Per Cent. Unfit.
The medical examination of .recruits
for the great war discovered many
physical defects in our young men.
nThereport stated that 47 per cent.
were physically unfit for the strenu-
ous duties of military service. We all
hope that there will never be another
such walr, for there is plenty of scope
for the investment of the highest de-
gree of physical fitness in the ordinary
vocations of life. The discovery of
these physical weaknesses should be
a challenge to parents, school boards
and ratepayers to commence a pro-
gram of health education in .all- our
schools.
Someone will object that the defects
discovered by such medical examina-
tion•'are found more among the elul
dren in congested urban centres than
among those children that live out in
the rural parts where they have room
for physical exerciseand plenty of
fresh air. The fact is that city chil-
dren to -day are healthier than their
cousins in the country. Most city
schao)s have doctors and nurses who
look after the health of the children.
The boys and 'girls of foreign parents
in some cityschools are getting a
better chance for, healthy- living than
the children of ;some of our good Can -
edam' stock in rural parts.'
Various Physical. Defects.
It ' is estimated that out of every
twenty-five children. in school, four
have defective 'eyesight, four have
adenoids and :foster have trouble with
tonsils. The parents may not be
aware of these' conditions, and when:'
informed are invariably very grateful
to those who have made 'the examina-;
tion. Besides these ;,conditions many.
children have dental trouble which re-

regarded ,as dull and stupid by their
'teachers and parents, but their in-
ability till•'
y to keep up 'with their class in
the school was, due to some physical,,
defect. It may •' be that they coned not

er's voice; 'Sometimesrural children
have so inany chores to do in the
morning and evening_ and so far to -
walk to school that they., are too
fatigued to: make the progress they
should.
Three Objects in ;iVew.
The Department of Education is
net exercising any compulsion in
health education, but is actuated by
the desire to enable each - child to
funeticn in the highest degree possible
for him in whatever sphere of life his
lot may ee cast. Three distinct objects
are kept in view:-
! First ---The curtailment of the'
spread of communicable disease in
the community. Great benefit would:
be derived if parents, 'trustees and
teachers were well enough informed
• to detect the first symptoms of con-!
tagious diseases. If this knowledge,
' were more general and people knew,
what steps to take, a great deal could,
be done to preserve life, prevent epi-!
demics and economize in the treat-'
ment of diseases,
Second -The correction of existing
defects. Prevention in the child is
Crated above cure in the adult. The
1 menus of developing good health is'
more important than the remedy to'
cure bad health.
Third -The education of parents.
and children in 'the need of better
health habits, There is: room for a
great campaign in this particular{
alone. Children should be taught how!
!to take care of their teeth, the value,
of fresh air in their living and sleep
-
1 ing apartments, the cleanl•inesi of the
body, and the necessity of physical.
exercises.
The pian of procedure suggested byi
the department is the union of a suf-
' fieient number of school sections in
rural and urban communities to form'
a unit, which should compose about
thirty to thirty-five classrooms. This
area would be 'large enough to employ
the services of a well qualified, well
trained nurse. The township or county
council should be approached for a
grant, which, with assistance from
the government and contributions
from the school boards, would meet
the expenses of a permanent nurse to
look after the health of the children.

which exhibited, although outnumber-

rather than to sell, expressed them-

of them have decided to exhibit at
next year's fair.
