An exactly opposite reaction has just come to our at- tention. The Hessian Hills School, a progressive school in Croton-on- Hudson, N.Y. burned to the ground and within 24 hours every pupil had offered to help rebuild it. One offer- ed pennies, many pledged allowances; classes voted to he self-supporting and buy pencils, paper and black board out of their own money. No less exceptional, in view of the un- inspiring character. of much formal education, was the spontaneity with which teachers seized on the catas- trophe for educational purposes. When some youngsters scratched down plans for the new school, they were made the basis for lessons in arithmetic, geometry, mechanical drawing and discussions on archi tecture. "What are hools for?" was one question asked. "How should the rooms be arranged? What are the building problems of 'a school?" Maybe the new Hes- 'sian Hills school will reveal some of the ideas worked out by the folks in- terested--the very children who will 'use it!--Condensed from an editorial 'in "The Nation."

Write for particulars increase public health activities have Health Protection | - In Od Queliec By Hon. Athanese David Provincial Secretary and Registrar, Province Quebec (Condensed from the Montreal Gazette) Some forty-three years ago the Pro- vincial Bureau of Health was humbly started when the Prime Minister of, the Province of Quebec placed the sum of $5,000 a year at the disposal of Dr. Persilller Lachapelle, so that he might do something to promote better knowledge of the elements of hygiene among our population. Along with the cash, vent a recom- mendation." The good, doctor was urged to make no noise about it and not to frighten people with too much publicity. This was a wise admoni- tion. How often it has been--and still fs--said: "Our forefathers did not take so much care, and yet they lived to old age." How often did those who carried on the work meet with what 1 have called, and still call, remains of paganism such as makes parents and others say at the death of a child: "One more little angel." All these and many other objections had to be appeased before the real work could be done. » Much real work, however, has been done, Public opinion has been awakened, which, realizing the im- portance of preventive measures in protecting, lives and health, does not object to seeing large amounts de voted to these purposes. Year after year that original $5,000 was increased until by 1920 it had grown to $119,694, which was then considered to be quite a large amount for public health. Since 1920 more determined efforts to been made in the Province. The former Board was replaced by a De- partment, and striking contrast is afforded In comparing the 1920 and 1930 budgets. For during the latter year, the amount devoted to p de health work was $621,859. During these years of increasing public in- terest in public health, a tremendous campaign of education was first under- taken, directed principally against our | two greatest scourges, tuberculosis | and infantil mortality. Then actual | institutions were opened to deal with these two problems. In 1923 but two . Quebec cities had such organizations. That year monies were voted for last, 36,000 children, and this campaign | t -day affects the Province of Quebec. GEORCE F.

Something quite new, I believe in Canada was instituted in the Province of Quebec in 1928. There has been functioning in France a system known as "I'Oeuvre Grancher," which con- sists in placing with healthy families in the country children menaced by contact with tuberculosis when living in Infected surroundings.

On the other hand, the proportion of victims of tuberculosis among cl 'ldren taken away from their unhealthful surround- ings is one per cent. It is, therefore, logical to believe that the greater the number of these childrer taken away, with the contnt of parents, from surroundings that are a danger to them, the sooner will be checked the spread of the worst disease that There are two purposes achieved by this work. tuber- store today. the pleasure and profit that lies in NATIONAL AIR TRANSPORT Barker Field, Learn, at no obligation, for you.

These organizations cost for the fiscal year of 1929-30 the sum of $246,951.07, and the results have been such that hygienists have come from Europe, from the United States and from all over Canada to inspect these units, and we should, I think, be proud in saying it. The | most recent yisitor was the Director of Public Health of Greece. What have been the results, may be asked? Just a few figures will show them. In the County of Beauce in 1926 infantile mortality was 121.5; in 1929 it was 87.7. Mortality through contagious diseases in 1925 was 84.4 in 1929 it was 55.3. In Temiscouata in 1926 infantile mortality was 134.2; in 1929 it was 98.7. Mortality through' contagious diseases in 1926 was 124.5," in 1929 it was 21.6.
