WEDNESDAY, APRIL 3, 1929 INDUSTRIAL ACCIDENTS One of the regrettable features of modern indus. trial life in this country is the steady increase in the number' of industrial accidents. In 1928, there were 73,398 accidents of this type, as compared with 71,979 in the previous year. Of these accidents, 663 were fatal in 1928, and 429 fatal in 1927. That this increase should be noted, in spite of the added safeguards to industry, shows that there is a weakness somewhere. The way in which pre- ventive appliances and apparatus have been added to most factories, with a view to reducing the num- ber of accidents, would lead one to the conclusion that the human element -is again at fault, and that a careless move or step must have entered into the majority of the mishaps. Industrial accidents, when they reach so great a volume, present a serious problem, for, in addition to the wastage of life, and the cost of injuries to the compensation board, there is a large industrial production loss to be taken into consideration, Then, too, there is the additional overhead charge against industry which has to be made to cover the assess. ments of the Workmen's Compensation Board. These factors can have only one result, and that is to in- crease the cost of manufactured. articles to the con- sumer, for overhead charges play a large part in determining the price of any manufactured goods, Thus the loss from industrial accidents goes right down the scale until it reaches the person who ul- timately buys: the manufactured articles, In making its report, the Workmen's Compensa- tion Board has one paragraph which should be ham- mered home. to all employed in industry. "In spite of any explanations," it says, "The fact remains that the number of accidents is steadily increasing, and both employer and em- ployee should put forth every endeavor to change the situation, and to endeavor to avoid all accidents which can be avoided by greater care in the kind of machines and guards. sup- plied and in the operation of plants generally." Little can be added to that advice, for it touches the secret of accident elimination. Given proper mechanical safeguards, there is no reason why the human element should fail to such an extent as to produce an ever-increasing crop of accidents. STOP SIGNS AT CROSSINGS A prominent railway official who is now re- tired has made the suggestion that, in the inter- ests of public safety, every railway crossing should bear a stop signal, and that all crossings be de- clared "stop streets." This is not a new suggeston, but it is deserving of a good deal of thought. It is true that many motorists would strongly object to such legisla~ tion on the ground that it would slow up traffic and create congestion on the highways. Possibly there might be some justification for that argu- ment, yet no one has suffered to any extent by the placing of stop signs at the corners of city ful result from the creation of stop street regula- streets, nor have the stop street by-laws rendered traffic conditions any more difficult. It is hard to see, therefore, why there should be any harm- tions at the railway crossings. The only effect, so far as the motorists are con- cerned, would be to make for absolute safety in driving over these crossings. If such a law were enacted and fully observed, it would mean prac- tically the elimination of crossing accidents. True, a few seconds might be lost to the motorists, but it would be far better to lose these seconds than to lose a life. That is what the regulation would amount to, and from that standpoint it would be worth while. It must be remembered that in practically every crossing accident the motorist is at fault, It is sometimes suggested that certain crossings are dangerous, but to the motorist who is truly care- . ful, and who does not find it an inconvenience to stop, look and listen, there is no such thing as a dangerous crossing. Such a law; of course, might be difficult to enforce, but nevertheless, it would have the effect of preventing a. grat many acci- © dents, and these accidents usually are attended . with fatal results. VOCATIONAL GUIDANCE. Vocational guidance and placement is one of the *.' newer problems of those who are interested in the development of the young people of Canada. Authori- ties are gradually recognizing that it is very impor- tant to human progress and happiness that a man * be placed in congenial work, because no man can - pe a success in an occupation he dislikes, or for which 1 fie may not be fitted. Everyone can recall men who have spent half their - "cases can be treated in the same way. .. to rear children, lives as failures in some line of endeavor, and who became splendid successes when they transferred their activities to something for which they were titted, While there is a great deal of wasted effort m such cases, they are not so bad because the man 'eventually found his life work. But in thousands of cases men have married and become the fathers of families which chained them torever to uncongenial employment, which they could not leave because of the stress of the bread and butter problem, Boys have been made into factory foremen who would have been happier working for some museum, out in the field catching butterflies, nathing them and putting them in cases. Some men are forced by circumstances into the law or the min- istry or some similar profession who would have been wonderful automobile mechanics or construction en- gineers. More human misery and wasted effort arise from men misplaced in their life's occupations than from any other cause, and for this reason every agency which has as one of its objectives the occupational guidance and placement of young lads in callings which they will enjoy, and which will be in keeping with their capabilities is doing a worth-whils work PUNISHMENT OF CHILDREN erm iini Dr, W, E, Blatz, a specialist in mental hygiene, in & lecture in Toronto, scorned the ides that spar- ing the rod spoiled the child, and condemned cor- poral punishment as a means of training children in the right way. This is a subject on which there will never be much agreement, because it is one in which no two So long as human personalities are different, and so long as every child has its own mentality and reasoning powers, it will never be possible to standardize meth- ods of discipline and apply the same methods to all. What might be the most satisfactory method of re buking one child might, on the other hand, be a total failure with another child of the same family. Thus, while the doctor may be right in some cases, he may be wrong in just as many others. There is a problem for parents, however, in their efforts to train their children in the way that they should go. It is not our purpose to say that corporal punish- "ment is a good and a wise thing, nor to treat it from the opposite standpoint. We can assert strongly, however, that the only successful way to deal with children is to study them far more closely than is usually done in these days. The complex lives of modern civilization make this a hard world in which The young people are going out into life and meeting problems which their parents never had to face, and if their only training has been by means of the rod or strap, they will be eminently unfitted to face these problems, In these days when parents are so busy with af- fairs outside the home, it is unfortunate that they have so little time for study of their children, The wise father is the one who can make a chum out of his boy, and the wise mother the one who is her daughter's confidante. No amount of punishment, corporal or otherwise, can accomplish one tenth of . what can be accomplished by those quiet, heart to heart talks between parent and child which mean 80 much to the young lives, and just as much to the patent. 0 EDITORIAL NOTES .The chief thing that the rebellion in Mexico has demonstrated is that the rebels have to be good runners. The schooner "I'm Alone" cannot live up to its name any longer. There are lots of other good ships where it is now. The Ontario house passed its final estimates at the Yate of a million dollars a minute. It is a lot easier to spend money at that rate than it is to earn ft.

W Barton, M.D. TEX RICKARD It is now some months since "Tex" Rickard, the famous fight promoter Jassed away, following an operation or appendicitis. The late Dr. John B, Murphy, the famous surgeon, once made the statement that "In every death from a endicitis somebody is to blame." 0 is the somebody ? Rickard's illness came suddenly on New Year's Eve. Physicians pronounced it appen- dicitis and stated that an immediate operatioin was necessary. Rickard however determined to force himself to recover from what he believed to be an attack of "acute indigestion," Five physicians the next day ad- vised immediate operation but Rick- ard laughingly told them that if the pain ini another two hours he would undergo the operation. At the end of that time, at the earnest pleading of his wife and the physicians, he consented to be rush- ed to the hospital. Although the appendix was remov- ed, so much gangrenous infection had developed that the amount of poisoning was more than could be combatted. As Dr. Jno. B. Deaver says "in acute appendicitis the ideal treatment is to take out the appen- dix before peritonitis (inflammation of surrounding tissue) takes place." The danger in appendicitis is the danger of peritonitis, therefore if the appendix is taken out before this occurs, the risk of the operation is very small. ' ' "Peritonitis renders the outcome uncertain and makes for trials and tribulations in the surgeon's life, and too often for the death of the pa- tient." You can see how the physicians and surgeons are handicapped when a strong vigorous man determines that he'll fight off the attack. That it is possible to have an attack of appendicitis and recover without an operation is of course true. In fact it is possible, but not probable, that no further attacks will occur. However, when there is an acute attack, the pain persists and the symptoms grow progressively worse, immediate operation is indicated. Remember, less than one in a hun- dred die when operation is perform- ed the first day and the death rate increases with delay in operating. No one likes the idea of undergoing an operation if it can possibly be avoided, but it is a dangerous thing to delay an operation in appendicitis. If your physician and surgeon advise immediate operation, don't try to "fight it out." It is too dangerous.

Numerous speakers outlined to the sections the prob- lems, general and specific, which confront educationists of the prov- ince and put forth suggestions for development, One of the largest meetings was that of the trustees and rate pay- ers section, who heard G. R. Mec- Whirter, president, urge that more attention be given by schools and the Department of Education to the training of boys in trades and of girls in dressmaking and cook- ery, rather than in professional subjects, Mr. McWhirter also declared that many pupils at Ontario uni- versities were attending for social reasons and had no definite educa- tional objects in mind. "These will naturally be misfits in the social order of our country," he said. Dr, H. Amos of Hamilton Nor- mat School vigirously stressed the need for proper research into edu- cational problems, speaking before the training section. He also de- clared: 'The two year. course has brought a crisis in the history of the professional training schools. There is a certain opposition to meet in opposition in the cultural school to this change and to meet this opposition the normal schools must increase the effectiveness of professional training rather than build up a third school of cultural training." Dr. Amos also pointed out the advantages of segregating sub-nor- mal children in the schools, where- by the progress of normal students was not impeded. He further de- clared the aim of the newly insti- tuted geography course ghould be to develop the pupil's ability to think and plan rather than require him to memorize, LORD PHILLIMORE | WAS GREAT JUDGE Undisputed Pre-Eminence in Shipping Cases Re: mains Memory London, Apr. 3.--Lord Philli- more, known for many years at the Bar and on the bench as Sir Wal- ter Phillimore, whose death took place recently, was the only son of Sir Robert Phillimore, one of the best-known Admiralty judges since the court was instituted in 1858. After a record career of bril- liance at Oxford, Walter Phillimore was "called" in 1868, aged 23, and followed in his father's footsteps as a learned and successful Admir- alty and ecclesiastical lawyer. In- deed, his undisputed preeminence in ghipping cases has remained to many a memory which has never been rivalled. But the gateway to the bench, the similarity between the careers of father and son ended. The idea of sitting as a judge in a division which dissolved the marriage-tie was altogether repugnant to the younger Phillimore, who was a mil- itant High Churchman, so that when in 1897 Lord Halsbury made him a Queen's Bench judge ther, was some complaint at the common law Bar at this introduction of a specialist and outsider. Extremely Rich. Lord Phillimore was an extreme- ly rich man, Indeed, he was one of the great ground landlords of London, owning streets of houses on the north side of Kensington High street, in the quarter known as Campden Hill, where his own very beautiful town house, Cam His country home, The Coppice, Shiplake, is a noted feature of one of the most beautiful beaches of the Thames. For many years president, and then vice-president, of the English Church Union, Lord Phillimore re- sembled, in a combination of churchmanship with an advanced Liberalism, the tenor of mind of Mr. Gladstone, who was the friend of both father and son. ; His main work, after his retire- ment from the Bench, was done in furtherance of the cause of inter- national law. Until past eighty years ~® »°n» he travelled to meet- ings in various parts of the Conti- nent.

The reports intensified anxiety of the people of Iraq, owing to the continued trouble on the south- ern border, where powerful Waha- bi tribes, some of which had been outlawed by King Ibn Saud from Hedjas and Nejd, continued to at- tack and to raid villages along the frontier. From Turkish sources It was learned that 30,000 Turkish troops, in three divisions, were cencentrat- ed on the Iraq border, but it was stated that thees troops were for protection against the Kurds, who were verging on a rebellion, and not against Iraq. Both the Turks and the Wahabi tribes were accused of exploiting the unsettled political conditions of Iraq, owing to the interruption of Anglo-Iraq negotiations, to threat- en the kingdom. The authorities of Iraq were re- cruiting Assyrians in the northern portion of the country to be sent against the Turks, but it was be- lieved that a much stronger force would be required on the southern frontier in view of reports from Mecca that the Wahabi army num- bered many thousands.

Mr, Kyte referred to the primi- tive drawings in caves celebrating the conquests of the hunt, In all primitive nations, he noted that art had evolved through three sim- ple stages first the mree symmet- rical lines and whorls, then the de- piction of animals, and last the representation of men and vegeta- tion.
