Nat.'onal Fitness Campaign Sponsored by the Ontario Secondary Schools Teachers' Federation. I. INTRODUCTORY One of the most evident facts today is that any nation which wishes to survive and to take its proper place in world affairs must seriously and systematically plan to make its citizens as fit as possible, physically, mentally, morally and spiritually. These are complementary fitnesses, interdependent, and any nation falling short in one of these must sooner or later meet disaster. Now in the adolescent years spent in Canada's Secondary Schools nothing is being done systematically and persistently to ensure that these the citizens of tomorrow shall enter manhood and womanhood as perfectly fit as possible. After making a lukewarm attempt to supervise and check the health in elementary schools, this is dropped at the very age when some of the most serious and fatal diseases develop. Ready to Enjoy Life Teachers in Secondary Schools know that untold time and money is wasted because pupils are under par and not fit to take full advantage of their opportunities. It is useless to change and enrich curricula, and to add cultural subjects to be presented to those who are not in condition to enjoy them. Many pupils have decayed teeth, defective eyesight, are undernourished, and are quite noticeably not well, but there is no school nurse to look after them, and no medical or dental man to inspect. This does not mean that Canadians are all weaklings, but it does mean that a large percentage in this formative age in Secondary Schools are under par, not nearly at their best. Statistics to be quoted in later articles prove it. There are over one hundred and twenty thousand of these boys and girls in the Secondary Schools of Ontario alone. They are the ones counted upon to be the leaders of the next three decades, Canada's future is in their hands. Are they or their parents or the state going to remain satisfied that anything short of their maximum fitness is sufficient for them to play their part to enable their country to fulfil its destiny? "heARD rUBirdg.NToron- You folks who make speeches, now and then might use this yarn told by a chap we recently heard. He was to address a meeting in a small town one night, and arriving a little late, found a man pacing up and down in front of the hall. Man {stopping pacing) -- "Are you the guy that's going to speak tonight?" Man--"Well, I'm the gentleman that's going to introduce We don't believe that the writers of these three classified advertisements said just what they meant: "WANTED--A young man to look after a horse of the Methodist persuasion." "LOST;--A cameo brooch representing Venus and Adonis whilst walking in Hyde Park on Sunday morning last." "WANTED--A woman in the far west to wash, iron and milk two cows." We are beginning to have more respect for age now that we realize how many summers comparable to this one older persons must have experienced. Apparently it makes a difference whether one stands or sits: Customer.--"I've brought that last pair of trousers to be re-seated. You know I sit a lot." Tailor--"Yes, and I hope you've brought the bill to be receipted. You know I've stood a lot." Better Look Over Your Bookcase "I give humble and hearty thanks for the safe return of this book, which having endured the perils of my friend's bookcase and the bookcases of my friend's friends, now returns to me in reasonably good condition. "I give humble and hearty thanks that my friend did not see fit to give this book to his infant as a plaything, nor use it as an ashtray for his burning cigar, nor as a teething-ring for his puppy. "When I lent this book I deemed it lost. I was resigned to the bitterness of the long parting, I never thought to look upon its pages again. "But now that my book is come back to me, I rejoice and am exceedingly glad. Bring hither the fatted morocco and let us rebind the volume and set it on the shelf of honor: For this my book was lent, and is returned again. "Presently, therefore, I may return some of the books that I myself have borrowed." Native--"Yeah, we're pretty tough in these -.-arts, stranger. Hanging on that tree outside is Leatherneck Joe. We got sore at him last week rnd hung him. Stranger--"Why don't you cut him down and bury him?" Native--"Bury him? Gosh, no!

Issue No. 24--'38 Assemble Prehistoric Monster's Skeleton As a new feature of its display in the Educational Pavilion at the Canadian National Exhibition this year the University of Toronto will assemble the skeleton of a dinosaur. The prehistoric monster is now at the Royal Ontario Museum. Dr. L. S. Russell of the Museum will co-operate with university authorities. W. J. Dunlop, Director of the Department of University extension, who has charge of the U. of T. display at the Exhibition, also plans a display of small live animals from the Department of Biology. More Demand Is Made On Eyes Today Than Ever Before In the World's History; Widespread Eye-Strain Results. In the past quarter of a century man has changed his ways of doing things and his eyes have been taking much of the ensuing punishment. This was part of the message of Dr. Harold Judd, of Detroit, who appealed to the members of the Ontario Optometrical Association meeting in Toronto recently to help solve the problem of adjusting nature to new conditions. "Present accentuated circumstances have evolved with a speed that formerly took centuries," said the Detroit specialist. "As a result there is a need for more help today than at any other time in human history. This is manifested by a greater demand for ocular attention. In his opening remarks, Dr. Judd traced the evolution of the human eye from the lowest animal life and its reaction to light. He-suggested the possibility of the insect eye evolving from lowej forms of life. Must Constantly Be Adapted "Much of the. eye discomfort of today can be traced to nature's efforts to adapt man to new conditions. In preceding generations man was so much more agrarian than he is today. Today he1 has largely moved from the fields where his visual functions swept across the wide open spaces. "Today, 75 per cent, of man's time is spent looking at objects and concentrating on them within an eye radius of 20 inches," said Dr. Judd. Much of our lives are spent in offices, factories or schools. "As a result, man and his kind is experiencing a discomfort due to his forced adaptation to a new environment and to new occupations," he said. Celebrates Golden Jubilee Moulton College, one of the oldest private colleges for girls in the Dominion will celebrate its 50th anniversary from June 11th to June 14th. Extensive plans have been made in order that this anniversary will be fittingly celebrated. It is expected that this anniversary will bring together former pupils from all over the Dominion. Bird Messengers Aid Missionaries Verse of Scripture Is Attached To each Bird that Leaves Jack Miner's Sanctuary On Its Way North (By LANCE CONNERY) Year after year feathered missionaries leave the Jack Miner Bird Sanctuary to spread the word of God throughout the North American Continent. Their medium is the verse of Scripture which each metal tag carried by a banded bird bears. "Who is this man Miner--a religious fanatic?" might be the layman's reaction to this information. But he would be wrong. The Kingsville naturalist is simply doing his best to ease the none too rosy path which human missionaries have to tread. To the Indians and Eskimos resident in the far north, the simple bit of Scripture brought them from the sky is nothing less than the direct word of God. This ingenious method of spreading the Gospels has had far-reaching results. Missionaries in the Hudson Bay district have written the naturalist that his aerial messengers have transformed the natives' attitude toward Christianity and lightened their task. Biblical pictures are now sent to the missionary workers by Jack Miner, to trade to the Indians in exchange for the metal bands from slain birds. The tags are mailed to Kingsville, to assist in tracing migration routes. Assists Migration Studies Thus the novel method of propagating Christianity has not only led to missionary progress, but has also speeded up the study of bird migration through contacts formed in the northlands. It is his greatest missionary endeavor, the naturalist is convinced. The natives are wont to rush to the missionary when a banded bird is brought down and ask him to interpret "what God said this time." And more often than not, that verse of Scripture is used as the text in the coming Sabbath worship.

This little republic--the last stand of democracy in Central and Eastern Europe--is a grave danger spot. A potential though unwilling cause of war. Allies Are Doubtful We also hear much of Nazi Chieftain Hitler and his reported designs on his small neighbor; we learn that his brother dictator and ally, Signor Mussolini, has bestowed blessings on the German program of expansion; Britain, champion of small nations and democracy, makes it clear she cannot help Czechoslovakia unless British interests are involved; even Prance, godmother of Czechoslovakia, is unable to protect the young nation excepting in case of direct attack against it. All these things are beating in our ears, but of the one man who bears upon his shoulders in this crisis perhaps a greater responsibility than all the rest we hear scarce a word; Eduard Benes, co-founder and president of Czechoslovakia. He Must Make Decision He is the Solomon who must decide whether his country shall surrender its independence without a fight, or whether it shall send that crack army into the field. He is the David who is facing Goliath all but alone--for the days of collective security are done and he can get no help, from Geneva. As Benes goes, so may go the fate of Europe. And of his equipment for this task? He Gas a brilliant, well-trained mind. He is a fighting-man of peace. He is so clever as a diplomatist that he is credited with being one of the most skilled negotiators of his day.
