!Assentiil'. This gives Canada a direct
voice in the committee.. of 13 . which
manages the work' ed Hid Assehibly'.
The election of Sir George Foster
to this honorable position is a
well-deserved tribute to the con-
spicuous place achieved by Canada
in the Great World War, rind is coit-
'lncing proof that this country, as the
result of the magnificent work of ,the
Canadian Expeditionary... Force, has
gained a piace'of'sg"sial honor among
the nations of the world. There are
representatives of 41 nations et Geneva,
Sir George Foster.
and for Cinadn to be given one of the
six vice-presidents, out of the great
number of delegates present, is a
(remarkable distinction.
it is also a splendid tribute to
the long and able parliamentary
experience of Sir George Foster.
Without doubt, he is one of the
ablest debaters, as well as one of
the most skilled parliamentarians in the
Dominion, and his election to this dis-
tinguished position brings honor to the
Parliament of Canada. - The people of
Canada, regardless of party, will re-
joice in this honor conferred on the
dean of Canadian politics.

HOW HURON RUNS
HOUSE OF REFUGE
Every Inmate Assigned Some
Work arid Ml Are Happy..
flemiltpn, Nov. 23.—s. strong plea
tor observance .of the human note in
the administration of such, homes teas
advanced by J. 13, Reynolds, SupeNg-
tendent of the House of Refuge of the
County of Huron, in speaking to mein-
hers of the ;Ontario Assoclt'ttfon �tf.
Ma,tagers of the I1thd s fbr'Ag`e`ct asid
Infiria• at their 'first annual convention
held this afternoon, '
Mr. Reynolds `deplored the fact that
so much. -attention was given to the
^cotton's' management of such in-
stitutions. He would remind those
Concerned that the economic phase was
secondary, What teas essential wit's
the human note -a spirit Of kindness.
'7n Huron we look 011 ail our in.
mates as our own flesh and blood," con-
tinued Mr. Reynolds. "We feel 'th'at
in the worst of them there is much
good, and in the best of then a great
deal of good. They are all human
tragedies. They respond to kindness
quicker than children do. None of us
but might some day have to enter a
home for the aged and infirm, just as
They have done. Tiley are not paupers;
they are our venerable elders on whom
fortune has frowned,"
In Huron county the Horne for the
Aged and Infirm was conducted by a
staff of Mr, and Mrs. Reynolds and one
pais' assistant. There were 91 in-
mates. How was -this accomplished?
Simply by making every inmate a
trusty, by assigning him or het' some
task to do. "They take pride in their
work. We make them feet it is their
hone, and, what is more, we feed then
on the best we can possibly procure.
The result is we are a. hal}py family."
