The care of the ill is not confined to the halfâ€"hour before nine o‘clock; but all day long patients may be sent to the infirmary, students who are Ill, or who have had an accident in a shoj. In any emergency, first aid is rendered. Sometimes a life is saved by Pirst Aid. If the illness or accident needs the atiention of a doctor the nurse makes the appointment with the doctor. If the docior finds upon examination that the tceth neod attention, the nurse makes the contact with the dentist for the pupil. At times a pupil wants o be excused from the Physical Traininz class.

Taking care of the sick pupils is only part ol the school nurse‘s job,. Every pupil must be examined by the schoc] doctor and an accurate ana detailed record kept by the nurse. A school nurse not only has to be a graduate nurse, but also one qua‘iâ€" fied to teach,. to do social service work ind to have a wide knowledze of huâ€" manity, personality and safe living standards.. Now let us accompany the nurse into the class room. What do we see Eor doing here? Every Grade IX Commercial class has a regular course in hygiene, physioâ€" logy and anatomy, personal cleanliness, smart grooming, home nursing, correct shoe fitting and all the other aspects of health so that they may present, in a few years, a pleasing appearance hbeâ€" fore the business man, their future emâ€" ployer. The school nurse conducts a Rrd Cross course which is recognized by the Ontario Red Cross Society 10 the extent that certificates are given at the conclusion of the course. The Red Cross Society is very proud of this course given by the Windsorâ€"Walkerâ€" ville Vocational School and has workâ€" ed hard to have the course extended to all secondary schools in the Province of Ontario. In addition to the Gradse IX of the Commercial Department, the Grades IX, X and XI of the Technical Department receive this course, and have more detailed work on the abov>â€" mentioned items of health education and hygiene. Fro mthis brief account you can see that throughout the school day the niurse in the Windsorâ€"Walkerville Vocaâ€" tional School is kept busy helping sick people to got well and keeping weil people healthy by teaching habits of living that are conducive to continued zood health. Did you think that that was the end of the day for the nurse? Not at all. An enthusiastic group of boys and girls come in several afternoons a week for a course in First Aid as an extraâ€"curriâ€" cular activity. And after this full day, frequently tho nurse must visit the homes of some of the students to inquire about pupils and to learn of home conditions and to become acquainted with thse parents so that they will learn to know that the nurse is ons of their best friends. Most northerners are aware ol thne fact that the local telephone exchanges are operated by the Northern Telephone Co. Ltd.. while the long distance busiâ€" ness is handled over wires of the railâ€" way, connecting with the Bell Telephone Co. To handle this business, long cisâ€" tance offices have been established it Cobalt, Swastika,. Porquis and Cochâ€" rane. In the same manner, broadcastâ€" ing programmes are brought in over the railway‘s wires and carried to the local broadcasting stations. By the time the pupils leave the school they have had a thorough knowâ€" ledge of the construction of their bodies and how to keep them healthy. Any defects which they had when they came into the school, and which could be corrected have been attended to, and they are ready to start life with a clean, healthy body. As a result they are likely to be regular at their work, and not waste the employer‘s money and time and are thus good citizens of the communtiy. It may cost the counâ€" try a great sum of money to prepare these boys and girls for life, but the medical profession and the teachers of the Province believe that it is money well spent, the results of which will mean health and happiness to our coming generations. coming generations. With the aid of an enthiuisastic, comâ€" petent, trained school nurse this aim can be more fully realized. Swastika, June 11.1â€"(Special to The Advance)â€"Travellers on the Temiskaâ€" ming and Northern Ontario Railway, particularly those going to or from the Kirkland Lake area,. will have noticed a fireâ€"proof brick building recently conâ€" structed at Swastika, and may have been curious to know what it was tor. The explanation is that this building is for the accommeodation of equipment in use in connection with the long disâ€" tance telephone. telegraph and radio programme transmission operated by the railway at that point.

A visit to such a plant as the one at Swastika would be a revelation to anyone who is not familiar with the practieal workâ€" ing of such equipment. The building is 255 8" by 45‘ 8". On the ground floor at street level will be fcund the heating plant and the power plant. The ficor on the level of the station platform houses the "repeater" station; while the top floor is cccupied by the long distance switchboards, acâ€" counting office, rest rooms and toilets The "repeater‘" station is a device which operates on much the same principic as the volume control on a radio. Conâ€" versations coming from long distances may be quite weak, but by increasing the current the message is brought back to full strength and goes on its way as though transmitted locally. The same principle is used to boost telegraph messages up to the required point, and thus the signals are heard clearly by the operator receiving the message. To provide for these facilities a complicatâ€" ed maze of equipment is necessary. The telephone plant at Swastika connected directly with a similar s tion owned by the Bell Telephone â€" and located at Oshawa, Ont. To the uninitiated, one of the mosy amazinz of modern telegraph and teleâ€" phon» developments, is the method whereby several messages can be transâ€" mitted over one pair of wires, without interfering with each other. To illusâ€" trate, ‘over four wires running from Swastika Telephone Station, it is posâ€" sible to transmit six telephone conve:â€" sations and four telegraph messagrs simultaneously. gain the principle involved is similar to radio, which perâ€" mits many programmes to be on the air at the same moment without intecâ€" ference. With installation of the most modern equipment available, the T. N. C Railway has made it possible to give Northern Ontario and Quebec very fasi and dependable telegraph and long disâ€" tance telephone service to all parts of the world reached by the trunk lines, and has also made possible upâ€"toâ€"date radio service througzhout the entire terâ€" and has also made possible upâ€"toâ€"date radio service throughout the entire ter ritory served. § A new service just recently made efâ€" fective by the Railway Telegraph Deâ€" partment is in connection with the coming Transâ€"Canada Airways.

Thus by the us> of the most modern equipment known to science, and the constant atâ€" tention of the personnel, rapid and efâ€" ficient service has been made available to the section of the country served by the railway, at most reasonable rates.

True, the mining centres are giving profitable employment to many and towns are growing by leaps and bounds in this progressive section of Ontario.

Speakers on every occasion urged that those in other parts of the province, be made aware of this fact before. going to the mining section. It would apâ€" pear that the stories told have‘been read too literally. But we pass on the message from he north: "Don‘t go unâ€" less you have made arrangements beâ€" fore for assurance of a job."
