Maintenance of the Schools. MUNICIPAL FINANCE. (Toronto Globe.) Features of TO INVESTIGATE CANADIAN INSURANCE. Ottawa,‘ Feb. 26.â€"(Globe Special)â€" The Government have determined to appoint a commission to investigate the whole question of insurance in Canada. This announcement was made Friâ€" day evening by Hon. W. 8. Fielding, who is still confined to his house owâ€" ing to his recent accident. The gentleâ€" men who are to act as commissioners bave been chosen, but for the present the Finance Minister withholds their names. It is expected that their apâ€" pointment will be approved at the next meeting of the Cabinet on Wuesday next, and that they will commence the investigation: within a few days. The commission‘s report will be preâ€" sented to Parliament durin:; the comâ€" ing session in sufficient time to enable any necessary changes in the insurâ€" ance act to be made forthwith. The officials of the insurance branch of the Finance Department have been closely following. the recentlyâ€"conciudâ€" ed inquiries that have been going on in the adjoining republic into the operâ€" ations of United States companies, with the object of profiting hy the experience Cm oiE Miates We amehoments which it is proposed to make to the insurance act of Canada. «pection of Canadian companies during the current year by the Superintendent of Insurance and his officials has been very rigid. * 4 Information now at his disposal might be sufficient to enable the Minister of Finance to submit the amendments to Parliament at its approaching session, but Mr. Fielding is of opinion that in view of the widespread interest in the subject it is desirable, before Pariiaâ€" ment is called upon to move, to have a more general investigation, â€"which shall be perfectly free and open, so that all matters of interest to policyholders may be looked into. Mr. Langmuir is one of ‘the bestâ€" known financiers in Canada whose name needs only to be mentioned to inspire .confidence. Mr. Kent is a leading accountant and actuary in Montreal, whose long exâ€" perience and skill in dealing with comâ€" plex financial problems will be invaluâ€" able at the present juncture. The commisstons to the gentlemen named wiil probably issue toâ€"day, and they will be expected to start the inâ€" vestigation as soon as possible. To Move the Address.

There are 119,829 men and women in . English asylums. Of that number 54 ‘ per cent. are women. In the British _asylums intemperance is assigned as the cause of nearly ome cuarter _ of ! the cases of insanity. There is a reâ€" â€" markable difference in that respect i with the returns ftom Ontario,where <intemperance is given as the â€" caus | of insanity in only 64 per cent, of m:“ lca.ses admitted during. the past year. Dt. Forbes Wilow, the well known | English specialist, commenting on the ir(-turns, says, "Alcohol must be givâ€" in the first place as a cause of inâ€" sanity. No one, at this mement, can , be found mad enough to deny that alâ€" eohol is a brain poison, and the inâ€" isanil‘y due directly or indirectty _ to / drink is appalling. Then there is the | use of tobacco in the shape of cigarâ€" ; eltes particularly, I do not say vhat : pipe smoking is harmful unless _ carâ€" ‘ried to excess. But the use of cigarâ€" , ettes, especially on an empty stomâ€" . ach, is a very potent factor in _ the ‘making of a Junatic. It is the duty of parents, preceptors of youth, minâ€" , isters and representative men in genâ€" ‘"eral, to do all in their power to edâ€" ~ucate the rising generation to abâ€" stain from . anything and everything that has a tendency to impair of tuin the brain, which is known to be the prime source of reason. We cannot.but view with alarm the increase of insanity and idiocy in the Province of _ Ontario. The returns from the asylums of Ontario for the year show that: there were 5,581 paâ€" tients in residence September 30th, 1904, that there were 1,130 patients admitted during. the year and, ~that there were 6,213 patients cert/fimlvin- sane September 30th, 1905. During the past ten years there has been an increase of sixteen hundred patients in residence as shown by the followâ€" ing figures : September 30th, 1895, number _ of _ insane, 4,613. _ Sepâ€" tember â€"30th, 1905, number of _ inâ€" sane, 6,213. The total cost of mainâ€" tenance of the asylums of Ontario for the past year was $760,203.82. The revenue from paying patients was $114,915.59. There is evidence in the returns that the asylum accommodaâ€" tion is at present not sufficient, and that in the near future additions will be required toâ€"provide for many _ for whose admission applications are now on file. The statistics for the past ten years plainly indicate that . the number of insance in Ontario is on the increase, although this increase | is fortunately not as .disquieting as in _many other countries. Ontario, with a population of two millions, ons hundred thousand, has 6,213 persons who are certified as insane or. one person to every 337 inhabitants. _ From a recent report of the British The afternoon of Saturday, as preâ€" dicted by the atmospheric fortune tellers at the Toronto Observatory, broke all records for February, the thermometer having registered 54 deâ€" grees. This is but. three points .beâ€" low the record days of January, and four points better than any previous day in February since the weather conditions have been recorded in Toâ€" ronto.
