In attendance were John Melntyre, K.C. (chairman), Mayor Mowat, Dr, J. GG, Evans, S. 8. Qorbetty Di Reaves, J.D. Thompson, Dr. Hanley, and Medical Health Offic- er s The following resolution was unani- mously # "The of health desires to re- cord its high appreciation of the dis tinguished professional services rend- ered by the Hon, Senator Sullivan to the board in the year 1903, when an alarming rumor prevailed that small- pox had broken out in the Hotel ieu. Hon. Dr, 'Sullivan was specially requested by the board to investigate and report to the board as to the ori: 2in and accuracy of the rumor. The honorable gentleman promptly report- ed that the cases were not small-pox. This opinion was a great relief to the board and public mind, as at that varticular per small-pox pre- vailed largely in oir province and much gloomy apprehension was allay- ed by the opportune publication of the judgment of Dr. Sullivan. On other oc- casions this hoard also has been under a deep debt of obligation to Senator Sullivan, in subséquent cases which have been diagnosed bv him as small- pox, and the board, fortified by *his valuable judgment, took speedy and successful measures, not only for the alleviation of the suffering patients, but also to prevent the spread of this malionant malady." At the April meeting of the board, a committee consisting of the chairman and Mayor Mowat was appointed to interview the General Hospital govern- ors regarding an arrangement as to the taking care of.contagious cases, in view of the fact that the Hotel Dieu had no longer a contagious ward. As a result of the conference, the chair- man reported that it would cost $15, 000 to erect a contagious 'disease hos- pital, should the city have to secure one, in view of the chance of the King- ston General Hospital ' abolishing its contagious wards. To maintain such a hospital would cost $2,500 a year. The General Hospital governors had intimated to the special committee of the board of health, that if the city gave an extra grant of $1,500, they would continue the ' infectious - disense wards. Otherwise they would have to close them as it cost that amount to Long, Port Hope. I. F.

Gra- ham read an interesting report of the Ontario Educational Association's du- ties and workings. T. M. Henry, M.A., defined his subjec". "The Teach- eF's Opportunity," as bung to impress with' certainty each child in his care with true and noble ideas. He ought by special, earncst watchfulness in the school room, to impress moral principles, not abstractly, but ' con- cretely. James: A. Russell gave an instruc- tive talk on "Study and Teaching of Geography." He said the teachers' skill in teaching this subject depended more on the general idea they had. W. 8. Ellis, principal of the Col- legiate Institute, opened the Saturday morning session with a much-appreci- ated 'address on '"'Teachers' Ideals." In his talk on "School Management," J. E. Davidson advocated that the teacher should use' the pupil to ob- tain order and discipline. In h few pointed remarks, Mr. Maxwell ventur- ed' the opinion that the model school term was not long enough to give the teacher sufficient knowledge. He thought the people expected too much from a teacher, and in his mind the course of study was too great to be accomplished in so short a time. Dr. Spenkie, urged that the teachers in the larger schools make an effort to obtain a set of anatomical specimens. Votes of thanks were passed to the speakers and also to Thomas Little, who gave a talk explaining the an- atomical specimens. Strawberries To-Night.

' v The chairman said that the first he heard of it was from 5 paragraph in the Whig stating that the Hotel Dieu intended receiving no more contagious patients, because the imstitution was not equipped according to law for such diseases. The next thing was the presentation to the board of the letter from the Hotel Dien authorities. Dr. Evans claimec that the board should have more light upon the ori- . gin of the matter, The city could not well afford to nav out even $1,000 at the present time for a building. What inspired the raising of the question now and the attitude of the hosnitals? On motion of Mr. Corbett, it was decided to report the matter to the finance committee of the city council. Mr. Thompson wanted it left over till next meeting of the board, so that members could rnouire more fully into the reasons which gave rise to .the difficulty. nn, Can't Prohibit Jumble Sales. The city solicito ported that the city had not authorjly. to pass a by: law prohibiting jumble sales. The city has power to prevent and abate public nuisances, but anv, such by-law would only refer to and prohibit something that was clearly a nuisance and injur- ious to public health, such as accumu- lations of decaying matter and so on. It the medical health officer is of the opinion that articles offered for sale at a jumble sgle are infected and like- ly to spread disease, then he may cer- tify to the locil board of health under the public héalth act, and the articles so infected may be disinfected, either by the owner, or at the owner's ex- pense, by 'the local board of health. This is the full limit of the powers to deal with this matter, vested either in the local board of health or the city council. On motion of Dr. Evans, the board decided to have 100 copies of the anti- spitting by-law printed and placed in public places to draw. attention to the fact that spitting on walks is an offence arainst the by-law.

ATURDAY, MAY 26, Cases. vd question qf contagious wards . | Dr. Evans and the medical - health officer were appointed a committee to bring in a report upon a bacteriologi- cal milk standard for Kingston. Several communications regarding nuisances were read. Mr. Thompson said 'was more necessity of get- ting yards cleaned and nuisances abat- 'ed.than making the city beautiful. Mr. Meclntyre pointed out that the 1 Sullivan's cast Services Ap- jad of health had only to do with preciated-General Hospital's !puisancos that were dangerous to the public health, It had no jurisdiction in yegard to small mattérs of a per- sonal nature.

CONVICT IS DEAD. Suffered From Internal In- juries. John McGee, the life prisoner, who attempted to escape from the peniten- tiary on Thursday night, diedsearly thjs morning from internal injuries re- olive by his fall inside the chimney, up which he had climbed. It was found that there 'were no bones broken. The distance the prisoner fell was probal not more than thirty feet. Evidently he fell on his side. McGee stated that he got put of his cell early on Thurs- day evening. He must have lain for nine hours at the bottom of the chimney before being discovered. Inspector Dawson is here to investi- gate into the matter. In the wing where McGee and so many other pri- soners gre in cells, there are only two guards, and no doubt .a couple more will be added. It has been proven that it dees not pay to conduct the peni- tentiary with too rigid economy. The country had better pay a few more guards than run the risk of having dangerous criminals at large.
