THE OSHAWA DAILY TIMES, WEDNESDAY, JUNE 26, .1929 PAGE TWENTY-NINE The Great Outdoors of Ontario is Calling For Vacatio GO-EDUCATION 1S DISCUSSED Urges Study of Question at Canadian Social Hy- gienc Meeting Montreal, June 25.--A suggestion that the whole question of co-educa- tion should be very seriously consid- ered was made at the annual meet. ing of the Canadian Sociay Hygienc Council, The proposal was contained in the report of the committee on social diseases read by Harold Orr, Edmonton, and stated, "The commit- tee suggests that boys and girls in our public schools after the age of 10 should be separated and it is an open question as to whether this separation should not continue through the higher educational in- stitutions and universities, The whole question of co-education should be very scriously considered if for no other reason than the increase which has taken place in one of the social diseases among adolescents during the past ten years." J. C. Callaghan, president of the Hamilton Chamber of Commerce, op- posed the proposal. A full develop- ment of life, he said, would be ob- tained by separation, but by the sexcs coming together and being given the , opportunity to 'fully appreciate the fine points of each during the most formative period of their lives, Attacked Suggestion Dr. Gordon Bates, Toronto, Secre- tary of the Council; also attacked the suggestion. - The meeting went on record as re- ceiving the report for information and passing it on the new cxccutive to handle, ' Dr. C. P. Fenwick, Toronto, com- mented that the report contained no reference to prophylactics in combat- ing the social diseases. He said that they talked about immunization against diphtheria and the like and, left the means of prevention of the social diseases to parents and spirit- ualists, They were not doing any- thing themsclves towards preventing them, Might they not consider the question of giving advice on self-dis- infection or some other means? Dr, A, H. Desloges, director of 'the division of social diseases in the prov. ince of Quebec, opposed the giving of any information in regard to self-dis- infection, He felt, he said, that if this was done it would be putting too much temptation in the way of young people and would encourage a sup- pression of right morals, Dr. Gordon Bates characterized it as being the most highly controver- sial suggestion ever discussed in the public health field. They might take steps along the lines of studying the question he suggested, but he would not advise that anything should be done except at a large representative conference to discuss all sides of the question, { Dr. D. Bates read a paper in re- gard to the desirability of couples undergoing a medical examination be- fore marriage and the conference ev. entually went on record as approving the following points: The principle of medical cxamina- tion before marriage. Legislation as at present proposed to be passed unless and until preceded by an adequate period of public edu- cation, Public education as to the desirab- ility of a medical examination before marriage to be undertaken, Dr. Fenwick submitted a paper on narcotics after which the following recommendations were adopted. "It must be more difficult each year for drug addicts to secure supplies of morphine, cocaine and heroin, etc This process must be made so diffi- cult that the addict will be afraid that his supply will be cut off. "All patients who have received 2 PRINCE GEORGE OPENS BRIGHTON'S NEW AQUARIUM Prince George, youngest son of the King, is shown signing the visitors' pook at the new aquarium at Brighton, which he opened recently. It has peen rebuilt at a cost of £117.000, treatment in an institution must be supervised and watched for a long period after all treatment is com- pleted. "A confidential register should be kept of all addicts who have receiv- ed treatment at public expense and they should be supervised for a per- iod of at least three years. "These drug addicts should not be trcated in the prisons and reforma- tories because it is there that they meet the type of young men who are easily led into the drug habit." Dr. R. St. Jolin Macdonald moved and Miss Hurley seconded the follow- ing resolution: "That whereas a large percentage of blindness--cstimated at 80 per cent. of blindness¥n the new- born--is concentrated at birth be- cause of infection and whereas this type of blindness may bé prevented by the proper prophylactic measures at birth be it resolved that this as- sociation go on record advocating the enactment of legislation in all prov- inces making compulsory the use of such prophylactics." The motion was approved. Secretary's Report ---- The report presented by the sec- retary recalled that at the last meet- ing of the Industrial Relations com- mittee 'of the House of Commons, Dr. FitzGerald, a member of the board, suggested that the Canadian Social Hygiene Council and the Canadian Medical Association might well co- operate in making a survey as to health conditions in Canada possibly with the co-operation of one or more of the life insurance companies. In- structions had been given accordingly to himself as secretary to take the matter up with the Canadian Medical Association with a view to develop- ing a plan along these lines. The report also mentioned with re- gret that Dr. A. C, Jost, a second vice-president, had severed his con- nection with the organization having accepted a position as Chief Health Officer in the state of Delaware. The finance committee reported that it had in view the possibility of purchasing the headquarters building of the association in Toronto. An expenditure of $75,000 would be in- i it was advocated before under~ taking the purchase, Government supgort has continued to be satisfactory the report indica« ted in that the annual grant from the Dominion Government of $20,000 has been continued as well as a grant of $5,000 from the Province of Ontario while for the first time the City of Toronto has contributed a like amount, Financial support which it has been hoped might be obtained from the fife insurance companies for the increasing of the health conservation work of the Council has not yet ma- terialized, it was stated, although all the companies as well as represens tatives of the Life Officers' Associas tion have evinced increasing interest in the work of the organization, The following officers were res elected: President, Hon, Mr. Justice Riddell, Toronto; vice-presidents: Hon, Dr. Forbes Godfrey, Toronto; Mrs. A.
