WANTS COUNCIL TO

HIS M
• Seaforth, May 7) 1928.
:Dear Mr.. Editor: I can't under-
stand the
nder-•stand="the sense in -us-digging ;town in
our pockets every_ little while to hand
money over to a.Clpb=who spend the
money for any purpose they take a
notion to and •then claim all the credit.
It's the people pay for it, not them. If
'they are going to run everything, we
might as well junk the town council
right now and be done with it. We
elect a council to spend our money as
we want it spent. If this work is so
necessary our "council are capable of
doing it. What right have others to•
step in and say,•-ivtere„ give ,us your
money --we are going to' make a park
and call it the Lions Park and we're
going to make a swimming hole and
call it the Lions 'Swimming Hole.
The people ,have had no say whether
they wanted a new 'park at all, but if
we' must have one why couldn't it have
been up nearer the business section
where it could be used, instead of
down in that'hole'behind the station,
10 feet below the street level, and who
wants to go and sit in the -smoke and
dirt near the station, or have their
youngsters playing near the railway,

the man 'for war, Since the introduc-
tion of compulsory education, educa-
tional training took the foremost
place, In consequence of the neglect
or physical training the stature of
men and women decreased"and health
deteriorated. 1f the history of medie
cal inspection of schools is rather
vague, the history of the trained
nurse into school work is very definite,
because much more recent, In France'
as early as 1.833 school committees
,were charged to keep the school
houses clean, In 1842 a decree was
passed that every school should be
visited by a physician. In 18,74 Brus-
sels had 'physicians visit schools 3
times a week. In England, the Lon-
don :School Board appointed a medical
health officer in 1891. In 1907 an act.
was passed making medical inspection
in schools compulsory throughout
England and Wales. In America,
Boston is entitled to the credit of be-
ing the pioneer in this work, estab-
lishing school medical inspection in.
1894 and Miss Amy Hughes of Lon-
don, Eng began school nursing in
America, New York, Chicago, Phila-
delphia followed, New York was the
first city in the world to :dace school
nursing under municipal direction and
control.. !Hamilton appointed the first
school nurse in Ontario. Miss Dey-
man, Miss Rogers, Miss Robertson
and Miss Jamieson were the first
school nurses in Toronto. School
nursing was instituted by the board
of education in Toronto, April 24th,
1910. Women's ' Institutes first insti-
tuted rural school•nursing. in Lamb
ton County,' Reports in Mr. John Ross
Robertson's newspaper (The 'Toronto
Telegram) of the work being done in
American cities and his comprehen-
sive presentation of ,tie great possibi-
lities of conserving the health of the
school children induced the board of
education to put $2,500 in the' esti-
mates for experimental work and Miss
Rogers was invited to some fro'in 't e
States and organize the work here.
The first step taken was t'e consult the
chief school inspector„ Dr. James
I. (Hughes. He was heartily in sym-
pathy. Three schoolswere selected,
the principals 'were interviewed and
the plan explained. They entered
heartily into the plan' and assisted in
making all necessary arrangements.
The scheme carried out was to make
class room inspections, examining the
for
skinand
hair.Those
tl coat
eyes, throat,
exclusion were referred to the prin-
cipal, who sent them home on the ad-
vice of the nurse,
The highest objective of all efforts
is to teach children how to be healthy
and how to stay healthy. This health
supervision work shquld be along the
lines of preventive medicine. In 1919
special classes were held in = August
for special trained nurses to attend
that they might be ;better fitted for
school health supervision. Re my
own work, 4. Kindliest co-operation
of inspectors, collegiate, continuation
and public school. 2. Generous co-
operation of public health doctors,
other doctors and dentists. 3. Several
individuals aided by making possible
to have dental work done for children.
4.. Organizations also aided us. 5.
Even a class organized as a ,junior
red cross rendered assistance to other
childern, dental, .food. 6. Many school
trustees were pleased and grateful,
feeling it was a wonderful privilege
and advantage. The spirit of school
nursing is: Visit whom, when and
where you -will but let your visit be
those of woman to woman. Do as
you would be done 'by, instead of re-
proving and fault-finding. Encourage,
in 'Heaven's, name, encourage.
Next week we hooe to have in
print Miss 'Robb's fine address on
"The Aim of Public Health Nursing
and the Scope of the Public Health
Nurses' Duties."

While 'everyone is entitled to their

that contributions to the •Lions Club
are voluntary. All money raised has
been by various entertainments, at
which the public was given full value

a better place in which to live. A trib-

EATON'S BUY S'TRATFORD
DRY GOODS STORE
Where have been rumors for some
time that the mail order business was
decreasing, owing to the autos, and
last week announcement was made
that the T. Eaton Co. had purchased
the 21 stores of the Canadian De-
partment Stores for ;$4,000,000. These
are largely dry goods stores such as
the former Duncan Ferguson store in
Stratford which is now owned by
Eatos,
Mr. J. H. Medd, of Hallett, writing
to The Clinton News -.Record, says:
"It's not the departmental (mail
order) store that's going to hurt our
towns, it's the auto and the daily
paper. People like to see what they
buy and 'know where to get it. Sixty
years ago it took two hours to go
from -my farm in Hallett to Clinton,
in a lumber wagon; now a man can
take his family to London or to
Stratford in that time, -clothe all the
family, have an enjoyable ride and be
home in time to da their evening
chores. If our towns want to live and
grow they must use city methods, buy
what the people want, let them know
they have the goods and sell as cheap
as any other place."
The automobile has revolutionized
the order of things. The next u revo-
ver

lution will

Another effect of the inroads made
by motor cars on old customs will be
seen in the 'following from. The Gode-
rich Signal: "As already announced'
the Greyhound excursion will be run
this year the first week of June. The
Greyhound will arrive here from De-
troit on Tuesday, June 5-th, and will
leave for Detroit with the excursion-
ists froth Goderich and district on
Wednesday>tnoreing, the 6th. The re-
turn trip to Goderich will be on Fri-
day, the Stlt, and the final trip back to
Detroit will be on Saturday, the 9th,,
The Signal is in a position to know
that it was with some •reluctance the
managers of the Greyhound decided
to run this excursion this year. In
fact, it had practically been decided
not to do• so, but ,after some urging
the matter was reconsidered' and it
was dectd d to gveteeru•
