CANADIANS WILL SOON Bo
WEARING CLOTHES OF BUFFALO
WOOL
Many of us can recall +the days
when, on the occasion of ut sleigh ride,
it was the custom to dnugly wrap
oneself and partner in Buffalo robes.
Although, with the disappearance of
the bison foam the wasters prairies,
the source from which real buffalo
robes came, no longer exists, it will
in 'bite near future he possible to a-
dorn our bodies with clothes made
from the wool of the buffalo.
The source from which this wool is
to be obtained is the herd of public -
owned buffalo which inhabit the big
national punk that the dominion gov-
ernment sot apart some years ago
near Wainwright, Alberta, for the
partibular purpose of preserving the
former monarch of the prairies from
extinction,
"Tut, man " some doubting 'Phomas
may 'possibly exclaim. "How inch
wool can you get from a herd of buf-
falo cornered in a park?"
While it is quite 'probable that the
supply will be insufficient to satisfy
the demand should every Canadian
oevelop an ambition to wear clothes
the product of buffalo wool, yet the
potential quenttlty obtainable is Inure
extensive than probably moot Curia -
deans are aware.
And thereby hangs an opportunity
for both recalling a rather bit of in-
teresting history and reciting seine
rather interesting facts regarding
Canada's publicly -owned buffalo herd.
Strictly speaking, the progenitors
of the present fiord in the Wainwright
park were not Capad:ian by birth.
They were owned by a Montana ranch-
er named Michael Pablo, eche had pre•
served there in a natural depression
in a valley in the vicinity of his ranch
until, with the advance of civilization,
the United States decided to open up
that part of the country to 'hornesteed-
ers. And that meant 'that Pablo had
to get mid of 'his buffalo herd. Being
desirous of having the herd preserv-
ed in its entirety, Pablo entered into
negotiations with the United States
government with a view to its being
taken over and maintained as a State
asset. The late Theodore Roosevelt
and the American Bison Society lent
their influence to furthering the pro-
posal. But while Oongress was de-
bating the matter, a live Canadian im-
migration agent in Montana got in
touch with 'the 'authorities at Ottawa,
with 'the result that the Canadian gov-
ernment promptly bought the herd at
$250 per head, and shipped it to Al-
berta by •a series of train loads.
When placed in the national park
at Wainwright, which had been spec-
ially prepared for their reception, 'the
'herd was a little under 700 in number.
This was in 1906. But during the six-
teen years Which have since elapsed
the number of buffalo within the park
has swelled to 5,000, an increase of
about 614 per cent. which has led the
dominion government to conclude that
the time has arrived when a revenue
'may be derived from wool sheared
from the barks of this unique herd.
The national park in which this tbuf-
falo-.raised enterprise has 'made such
remarkable 'headway has an area of
160 Square miles-- just about large
enough to accommodate five cities the
size of Toronto. This vast perk is
encircled with a woven wire fence
seven feet in 'height, and is the largest
fenced -in area in the world.
The making of &loth from 'buffalo
wool is altogether a new enterprise in
Canada. Some seventy years ago the
Red River colonists embarked upon
the undertaking, but abandoned it
when ether material could be obtained
with lees expenditure of effort. Coats
of buffalo skin were in vogue among
the colonists for a generation or two
following, for in the hey -day of the
prairie monarch it was no uncommon
thing for. the colonists, during an or-
ganized buffalo hunt, to return with
one or two thousand skins loaded in
the attending Red River carts, There
is a record of one of these hunting
trips which peaces the total at 2,300
skins.
The important question now is:
Who will be the first Torontoni'en to
don a suit made from wool sheared
from the public -owned 'buffaloes of
Wainwright national park?
SCHOOL HEALTH SUPERVISION
School Medical Inspection had its
inception in a small way in France
in 1833. Permissive legislation was
introduced in Sweden about 1840 with
the object of making it nation `vide:
But it was not until 1874 in Brussels
that a well defined plan for a large
centre was adopted. The movement
spread to North America in 1894,
Boston 'being the first centre On this
continent to adopt Medical Inspection
Of its school children. The import-
ance of ;the work being appreciated
by all, et has now come to be an ac-
cepted part of school activities in
practically every large centre and
meet of the smaller ones.
The primary object of School Medi-
cal Inspection was tto aid in the pre-
vention of the spread of eommunicable
disease and it has 'been a large fac-
tor in the progress that has been
made along that line. However, the
attention of those most actively inter-
ested in the field of child welfare and
disease prevenntion generally, having
been focussed on the physical defects
found in young adults and children
of school age, defects Which might
have been prevented or cured in early
childhood, it was. felt that School
Medical Inspection if extended to cov-
er this field could be made a very
valuable weapon in the campaign for
better health.
Therefore, the inspection of chil-
dren for the 'purpose of guarding
against the presence or spread of
contagion became only a portion of
the task of those engaged in this
work, and the examination of Children
for evidence of some physical ,defect,
which was at Me time or might in
the future, .if entreated, become a
hindrance to the ,physical or mental
' progress of the individual, became
an. important part of their task. The
School Nurse was at this juncture

law-u•p work. This last 'was early
found to be e•.cmdingly important
as only a relateely small ,pereents,g'e
of the ,parent, notified of defects
found during the examination of their
children ;took 'tie trouble to have the
condition corrected. Therefore to
prevent the el' fess from beconning
intensified by neglect the School
Nurse was assigned the task of tol-
lowing-up all notifications. The pos.-
siNe rasions, if neglected, were em-
phasized, and to the School Nurse
was allotted this important share in
the work.
Wihile Schot ' I :Medical Inspection
was held to be at first more especially
urgent in the larger centres of popu-
lation, on investigation it was found
that the need was equally as great
in the rural districts. The marked
decrease in the infant and general
death rate in the cities, as compared
with the country, and the findings
resulting from surveys made by train-
ed workers, with the results empha-
sized during recruiting for the Great
War, proved conclusively that some-
thing 'wee very definitely outweighing
the advantages that the country dwek
ling child had over the child reared
in the city. With these facts'tn mind
a Province -wide Survey was (Inaugur-
ated in Ontario tto emphasize Kite'
need of serve form of permanent
School Health Supervision in the
rural and small urlban centres. The '
resulds to date have more than justi-
'fled the Department of Education in
this notion. Such figures as the fol-
lowing must of necessity be convinc-
ing proof of the 'urgent need for ac- I
tion.
Of the 72,000 children of school age'
examined to date, 8,564 wore found
to 'have defetetive vision, and 1,707 de-
fective hearing. Many of these chil-
dren previous to Medical Inspection
had probably been dubbed subnormal
or inatteativ , and had often received
unwarranted criticism and undeserved
punishment; 20 % of those examined
had Defective Nasal Breathing and
nearly 30% were found to have ab-
normal tonsils. Picture to yourself
these mouth breathing, dull and apa-
thetic sufferers from adenoids, or the
group with tonsilitis, bronchitis,
laryngitis, colds, growing pains, rheu-
matism or some heart condition, ag-
gravated of not caused by diseased or
abnormal tonsils. Look further upon
the large group suffering from mal-
nutrition, flair -chested, undernourish-
ed, with soft, flabby muscles and poor
appetite. Sufferers. to the total of
48,913 were found to have dental de -
feet's, either temporary or perman-
ent, that needed treatment.
While these figures seem extreme,
I can assure you that if they err, it o
is on the 'side of being too conserva-
tive. This means that in every elass-
'room in the province, either rural
or urban, which contains 25 children,
there are at least four of them suf-
fering from defective vision, five of
them have defective nasal breathing
and six have diseased or abnormal
tonsils, all sufficiently pronounced to
warrant treatment. These are only
come, of the outstanding defects.

The Provincial Department of Ed-
ucation appreciates in the fullest de-
gree .this need for School Medical,
Dental and Nursing Service, and the
staff of the (Division of School Hygiene
is at the service of any municipality
or district, to aid in the inauguration
or.supervision of such a service. The
Department suggests the following
practical solution of the question for
its estalblishment in the rural and
smaller urban centres, namely — a
union of •a eufticient number of these
schools to make a 'compact group of
say 30 to 40 classrooms, Which group
can employ a school nurse, who will
give her entire time to the work. The
School Nurse would arrange a sche-
dule and visit the schools so many
times each term, depending on the
size of the school and the need of
eec.l. section, to examine the children
as thoroughly as possible and by
checking up her findings with the
history of previous illness and re-
cords of attendance of the child, the
teacher's report of, his or her pro-
gress, confer with the 'parent if she
judges the child to be physically sub-
normal, leaving the question of
diagnosis and treatment, if any is
deemed necessary, to tits family phys-
ician and the parent. This plan is
being satisfactorily carried on in many
parts of the Province at the presen
time, and has no insurmountable dif-
Realties in the way 'of its extension
to other districts.
When thinking of the economic side
of this question, it is necessary to
bear in mind the enormous annual
waste of money, due to retardation
and "school attendance," non-attend-
ance and lack of progress of those
handicapped by below nominal health.
The statement that sickness directly
or indirectly is responsible for '75%
of the absence from school in this
Province, adds another very material
reason why a concerted effort should
be made to raise the health standards
of the chi'ld'ren of school and pre-
school age. A great deal can be ac-
complished to help solve this prob-
lem of retardation, and at the same
time save a large amount annually
spent in supplying Educational facili-
ties for children who are not able to
take advantage of them by a well -
worked out .plan of School Health
Supervision.
WHY ARE THE LETTERS `T," "V"
AND "X" USED IN ROMAN
NUMERALS?
In considering any question con-
nected with counting or .the early
history of the science of mathemtat-
ics we must bear in mind the fact
that the ancient peoples—like many
of the savage races of to -day -rimed
their fingers as counters and that the
human 'hand was the first adding
machine. It Was for this reason
that the Roman numerals appear in
the form in which they 'are still
used, "I" being 'merely the written
symbol for one finger, "II" for two
and so on, while "V" represents the
thumb and forefinger and the "X"
he fingers of both hands crossed
o indicate the sum of the fingers,
One of the unexplained mysteries
f the Raman system, however, is
why "IIII" should have been used
to desagnatofour—.as it still is on
the dials of 'watches where this sys-
tem of figuring is followed --while
"IX" is used for "nine." It is evi-
dent that "IV" would 'have been
inudh the simpler way of indicating
"four," just as the "I" placed before
the "G" indicated that Ione .was
to be subtracted from ten, but this
does not appear to 'have occurred to
the Romans who invariably used the
longer form. Much the same thing
is noticeable in such numbrals as
"46", written "XLV" instead of
"VL", and it was this comp'licattdon
which eventually led to the discard-
ing of the Roman system in favor
of the simpler Arabic method of no-
tation.
