The ‘needâ€"and desirability of a ‘branch of [the T. N. 0. connecting.

The two nurses, Miss Winton and Miss Meiklejohn, have made a very thorough and systematic *mpec ‘tion of the homes of the town, giving especial attention to the houses where there were children underâ€"school age. ‘Their canvass of the town was conâ€" <«ducted, street by street, and only two ‘streets were not visited, house by ‘house, from end to end. These.two .streets were Tamarack and Hemlockl streets, and as the nurses had metl ’most of ‘the ladies hvnig on these streets during the meeting with thel patriotic and ladies societies and the church societies, the same attention was not required for these streets as for some others. In the canvass of 'the town, street iby street, caréful. ‘count was kept of the number of child. ren under school age in egchâ€" fa:mxly, and the grandâ€"total was â€"the surprising figure of 500. Som@weeks ago the en rolment at the Timmins Public School was 317, and at. the Seperate Schoo'l 375. Tlns would mean that there were nearly T00 children of school age in easy access of.the town schools.
