As a young medical man he chose to cast his life among the fisherfolk of the Labrador Coast. "tere he has labored for two score years and his work has awakened the fnierest of the English speaking world For years he has advocated that La- brador should become part of Canada. He has established hospitals and also schools, and acted as a preacher, tea cher, physician aud surgeon, magis- trate, evincing the keenest and most sympathetic interest in the various problems of a seafaring coast people, He has aroused an interest in agrl- 2ulture and horticulture and other spheres of activity, until the resi- dents feel that their efforts are no longer restricted to fishing, He has favented a cloth for suiting, and per- formed many other notable services. The narration of some of his exper: fences thrilled' the large audlence pre- pent. As a marked recognition of his great work to this little known sect. lon of the Empire, His Majesty con- $erred on Dr. Grenfell some years ago the Order of St, Michael and of St, George.

Dr. Alan Brown, of Toronto, told a gathering fu that city that there are 307 diseases which a child can have but of that long list only 100 are formidable, He also stated his belief that the 100 diseases are prevent able. ' At times we read of folk who reach the age of 90 or 95 years and they re. call with a triumph which sounds gomething like boasting that they have never been sick in bed a day in thelr lives, We take it that such peo- ple having felt miserable at times, kept on puttering about and probab- ly took their bitters standing up rath- er than leaning on the elbow in bed. When Dr. Alan Brown says child ren's sickness is preventable to the oxtent of 100 per cent, we cannot with technical intelligence combat such & claim, but with the perversity of a layman's mind we can doubt it, The Dionne children have had splendid treatment and much care has been invested in their health, but it was not many weeks ago that they had some sort of trouble in their little tummies and innards generally.

Goodnight, dean of men at the Uni- ! versity of Wisconsin, declared in a "talk to educators attending the In- stitute for Superintendents and held at the State Uni- versity recently. Dean Goodnight spoke on the re- lationship between student employ- ment and the quality of students' work in the university. Twenty: years ago, the dean said, he thought em- ployment was a bad thing for the student, but his experience with stu- dents since then has convinced him | otherwise, He discovered that it , wasn't employment but other factors | which interfered with college work. He cited several cases of working and nonworking students and found that their scholastic grades did not vary much. In one study taken at the univer- gity, 67 cases of students who were entirely self-supporting were com- pared with 57 cases of nonemployed students, all in their freshman year.

Out of this number 16 did not do' outside work and five did. Of 13 students from the group who dropped out of school, only three were doing out- side work.

Well suppose you m.c.'s write me ag- ain some time and state just a trifle more definitely what part or parts of our analysis of dance bands you find it hard to stomach, In the meantime think of that chap no doubt as moronically inclined as we seem to be, who, on attending the Lombardo's grand opening at the Co- canut Grove last season, listened very quietly while Guy asked the crowded tioor what they would like for an en- core, whereupon the same chappie probably more moronic than ever pip- ed up--Isham Jones!
