So important is the subject of infant Mortality that the article on this sun. ject has been divided into, two _parts. .PartOne le published below. Part two will follow next week.) Poverty is resporTible for more in, fart deaths than anything else, be- cause;mo`st of the predisposing causes 'of infantmortality are due' to a lack of money and to • the ignorance and carelessness that often goes with it, A nation needs all tile' healthy and strong children it tan acquire in Order. to -tieeP its place in the' World march of. 'progress. The population of `'a country de- pends, aside from migratory fluctua- tions, en the uumbe"r of children born and the number of those children that reach maturity, _ The strength of a nation can be no greater than the strength of its citiaens, therefore the future strength 'of a nation depends on tate Health, Vigor ,and Intelligente of its children fpr the child is the father of the man and the aSeuiooi boy of to -day is the citizen of to-mprrow. There can be nothing more clear and obvious than that; The aim of every nation should be, then to have every childgrow ,up strong in' body .and strong in Mind, agents 'in producing a higher type of civilization... one of the best criteria of the civili- zation of a nation is the care which it expends';on its iufantt' The only method of .estimating:Ulla is be, oh, serying the infant mortality rates. This is usually computed on the num ber of infants out of every 1000 but'n who do not sive until the end of the drat year. It is a common superstition that the rearing of children is institienve with the humeu race. Nothing could be farther from the truth. - The mother meet be taught how to are for her child if the child :AS to have any sort of chance of surviding the dangerous first year and of reaching a' -healthy maturity. Poverty may be an excuse in some quarters for not .giving a child ail that It needs. But poverty is no excuse nowadays for not know- ing what the child neede and how to take care of it. Ignorance on the mart of the mother is inexcusable as there are health centres throughout the country -to which those within reach may go at regular Intervale and which will send reliable information to women in outlying distrits. Such intormation may be had by writing to'the Social Hygiene Council iu care of this paper. The mother should learn from her physician or from a competent nurse and if neither of these are available because ot the mother's isolation in sonic) ihaccessable country districts theft from the literauro which can be obtained front a number of sources, Children of iguortant mothers are rarely properly bathed, rarely get sumcient sunlight, enough fresh air or the right kind of food, They are nearly always treated as if germs wero'uon-existent. Their bottles aio somettmes filthy from a scientific standpoint. A Debit° healthnurse once told the writer of a thing she saw one time. It is hardly .believable. The nurse ;gvae paying her first visit to a poor family and it happened to be what the mother figured was the .baby's reeding time. The mother was putting :Milk irate a bottle which she carefully „washed ruder -the trip before putting the milk auto it, The procedure was ?,o nil a tumbler with milk, and then pour it into the baby's bottle from lfhat, As the nurse Watched wide eyed a fly fell into the glass of milk, Alba mother calmly picked it out :With 'her dirty fingers and event 011 -ditiug the infant's bottle. Needless t4 ear that mother had a few lessons on the preparation of feeding for babies withta the next few days. A baby's food Meet be wholesome bad pure. ' With a mother who is 'both poor and ignorant such a stand •ard is impossible.

Care of tate infant Should begin long before the child is bru as the physical, condition of the !l1other• is of tate utmost importance. *1 the mother is poor and under- }ourished, or Suffering from any et ate complications of pregnancy, the q hitd's chaucee of lite are gt'eatly r �melted. If the mother hat to work he should arrange it that [she has +itiomo rest before the birth of her baby. The death of weakly iutenta, due to oversew:lc and undernoarish- meat ou the part of mothers, forme a great part of the .infant inortatity, rate, It is quite obvious the part that poverty plays' in keeping tip our sus fant'utor'tality' tate -alta iu bringing eh1ldreu poorly ,equipped to inaturtty. Bad housing and poor sanitation are detrltnintal to the health or the child. Families that are foced to live in cramped quarters of ene or two rooms cannot, but auger. There is lack of fresh air and sunlight, there'is dirt and filth tracked int ft'om the street by manyfeet,. and—a' very important consideration—a lade of proper" stor, 'age' for •food. Nearly always there is a complete leek of refr'iger'ation— all these things tend' tolessen. aliald's -chances for' lite and in life. Great. strides have been taken by lite health, au'thorities,-liut there is much work Yet, to be done, 'rite work. et health officers in connection with housing is no bed of roses. You may find' it hardto believe but their eiforis are often misunderstood and they are at' ways meeting strong opposition front different quarters, ' bio landlord- unless lie' is very- public spirited will allow a house or building of his to be condemned without a fight, There •are'many landlords ot course, who; are ready and ,wilting to help in every way •possible.

' If you are a landlord you can help granny by taking a pride in yotut.proP- 'ertfes and seeing to It that they are a help i'tistead,of a httidrance in. the solution of tete very real Housing problem. You must not think that the probleul is confined wholly to the cities. Towns and villages have it glint as well, 1: know of an Ontario town where a great percentage, of the houses are on tate market for Sale or rent. The same •economic conditions that have redued tlx town. to this have made the poorer residents so poor that they cannot afford to pay even tate ridiculously low rectal that is asked foie excellent Brick houses, in the .best of condition. Many of these People are living in what are real slums and under unsanitary, unwhole- some conditions. Without hurting the town any, ninety per cent. yes 100 per cent.—of the bad houses eculd' be condemned. But—and here is the hod v .problem,—in ,that town everybody `knows everybody else. it Is extreme- ly hard for the health ofllders to do anything.at all. Statistics compiled in England show that the Infant mortality rate varies directly with the amount of space to which a family has to live. A Leader for India Stephen Gwynn In the Fortnightly Review (Loudon): Whatever India may be, and it is certainly not a nae tion, nor a race, Great Britain bas made it a community, and the com- munity is becoming politically self- conscious. It has au unaseuaged Pride, and nothing is most explosive. Beyond all reasonable doubt, India does not need democracy, nor, one may be cute, does itwant freedom in any souse that we iu this island give to word. But a community in that stage needs 'leadership, and feels the need of it. It steeds leadership of its own. The weakness of Lord Irwht"s position is that neither he nor any Englishman eau give such leadership to India; and though it is argued plaustbly, and dogently, that no Indian call hope to be accepted as the leader of alt India, whereas tile alien, stand- ing•aloot trete alt jealousies of race or caste or religion, can be the imparttal governor, that argument denies at once the whole possibility of native leadership, and thwarts the craving Which Mr. Gandhi's assumption of command to some extent must satisfy, even among Moslems, The Dignity of Labor Sir J. A, It. Marriott in. the Ribbert Journal (London) To banish the tri- vial task, the sordid occupation, is impossible, save perhaps in, Utopia, and evert in Utopia you can do it—i1 at all—only by strict limitation of population, But it is not impossible to idealize the lower occupations; to help the scavenger to perceive that in the scrupulous performance of his allotted taek 1te is performing a ser- vice to the community as importatit as the trained skill of the great our- gees'. usgeon. Few dairymen, perhaps, are idealists; nae are all artists, But it should not be impossible to couvitioe the former that tate health of the comp ntuuity is not less, but more, import- ant mportant than its appreciation of color and form.

DUTY OF HAPPINESS I cannot but think that the world nbrighter if elm w u be batten and old teachers would dwell on the duty of happiness, as well as 00 the happiness of duty; for we ought to be as cheer - tut as we can, if only because to be happy ourselves is a most effectual contribution to the happiness of others, Everyone must have felt titan a friend is like a sunny day, whielt sheds its brightness on all around; and most of us eau, as we choose, make of this world either a palace or -a prison. There is uo doubt some sel- fish satisfaction In yielding to melan- choly; in brooding over • grievances, especially if more or leas imaginary; in fancying that we are victims of fate, To be bright and cheerful often requires an effort; there is a certain art in keeping ourselves happy; in tuts respect, as in others, we require to watch over and manage ourselves almost as it we were somebody else,— Lord Avebut'y.
