In dre<« iiiK these fish splittinK or takinK the bone out is done onlv by those who are experts, a special splittinK Icnife beinf; used. There are various other fish that are marketed and would take too loni; to give a Rood description of all. Thu salmon is very plentiful, also the lake trout and mud trout, known to Canadians as the Speckled Trout. In speaking of the latter, I might say that I never had better sport in my life than I have had here; one can ko out and catch anything from ten to twenty dozen in three hours. An- other small fish is the Caplin, which is causrht in the sprinK with Caplin nets, used mostly for fertilizer, but wheu cured and dried taste very much after the red Herring or smoked herring, about half the size of a Georgian Bay Herring. The differ- ent kinds of the finny tribe are too numerous to mention, and I am not likely to forget some of them I have health work that have been approach- ed by education. The human race, in civilized count- ries, is, to-day, more free from dis- ease, and enjoys a longer and health- ier life than ever before. The reas- on for this is the application of mod- em scientific knowledge to combat disease and to preserve h^lth. Never before has the masses possessed the knowledge they now have concerning health. It repay* the individual t ' improve his own health knowledge; it repays him to see that education in health is given to all.

Never hnvine been to St. .Inhn's I can tell Throughout our country we have under the provincial governments, provision for education. In most places, Education is compulsory, the law being :in t-.cpr ivtuuj m puiili.- up- inion that education is desirable, uut only for the individual child, but for all children. It is desirable that all be educated, and so all are taxed to pay fot the educational system, re- gardless of whether or not they have children, or the number of their child- ren. After a community has completed the provision of such services as pure water, safe milk and food, and all the other health services which pro- tect us from disease, there remains the equally large and equally im- portant question of personal hygiene. The health of each individual will de- pend fully as much upon his own actions, upon his practic of personal hygiene, as upon the protection the community health services afford him. If personal hygiene is to be known, understood and practised, the individ- ual must be taught. The question we might ask ou -selves is â€" Does health education pay?
