THOROUGH MEDICAL EXAMINATION Of the Children--Lecture by Prof. A. P. Knight--Ottawa the Only Can. adian City That Has a Medical Systent in its Schools. Kingston, as well as other Places, is interested in the question of medical mipection. in the public schools, The other evening Dy. A. P. Knight, pro- fessor in Wueen's university, lectured on the subject in Brntiord, - Medical examination of school chil the: doctor pointed out, meant 1 medical pnabettion which was si to ascertain if there os Any contagious diseases in the aol, \ Medical examination incladed hear ing, sight, the teeth, measurement chest, weight, measurement of height, ascertaining if there were any heart or ling trouble, examining the sense of touch, of the muscles, and whether the child were ill or well-nourished. It was much if the public nnd lately. It was important to the parents as well as to the clfldren, and it was important to the province as there were from one to two per cent. of the children in the province weak-minded. If these are recognized we can help them along.? About all tha state does for. them now is through the jails and je NEED OF SCHOOLS families in the United States. Out of L400 d scendants of the former, 250 were gradustes of universities, many pr antl high school teachers, and it had been said that one of them had never betm in a court except a judge, a lawyer, & witness or a sxndauts of the Jukes family were licentious, murderers and thieves, Ouly twenty of them had learned a pauperism in Eogland Hane be oy houses a . t in tion, 2nd Should Deckopt there. This prob- lem of pauperism was growing in On- tario and would have to be faced. It cost a quarter of a million dollars now. " In acknowladgiog the very hearty applause which followed the lecture, Dr. Knight said that in England part of the examination was done by teach- ers; then there wey nurses, If they were in doubt the family physician was calldd in or a man appointed for the pu . Medical examination of schools had been established first in countries where it might be least expected, in this order; Austria, the Argentine Republic, ary, Nor- way, Switzerland, Servis, Roumania, Russia. In the United States it was By means ofl a lantern view he gave the result of a mecieal examination in the schools of Bradiord, England: Hi-nourished, 13 per cent., dirty and verminous, 25 per cent bad teeth,! 50 to 60 per cent.; eatarrh of pose, 24 per cént.; defective sight, 20 to 50 per cent; defective hearing, 10 to 20 per vent.; consumplion, one-third of | one per cent. In this count we have practically no iiaoueishod chil | dren for lack of food, though there | might be indigestion, and there were very few dirty or verminous children. In 'an examination of Kingston school | children he had found more catarrh of | the nose, because we are more subject | to it in our climate, bad teeth about' the same, and also defective sight and hearing, 'there was not a parent but should not went to know of de fects in order that they might bere duced, Some might be lacking in height and weight. They were found to be mouth breathers who were more liable to disease of the lungs than others. This mouth breathing gener ally arose from obstructions in the nose called adenoids. When a child was stoop-shouldered it tendid to prevent the proper expansion of the lungs and also to derangement of the alimentary canal. He showed by diagrams how the disimeler of the eye being too long or too short affected the nerve mes- sages and also the arca of vision in the brain so that in correct impres- siony were formed and progress ot school was slow or impossible. Blind: ness might arise not only from the eye being destroyed but from the des- traction of the optic nerve fibre or of the area of vision in the brain, and the same abplied to the ear. Where what is called the motor area of the brain is defective there is not com: plate control of the muscles. Dr. Knight then went into a pre- sentation of the case of the imbeciles who had been graded in an a'wham in Scotland into thirteen grades, and at the Asylum for the Imbecile at Orillia into ix grades. He divided them into three grades, low, medium and high, and showed that in these Ie ple though some of the latter class could be developed to earn a liver: hood, the morale was weak, and they were easily led into crime. He quoted from Dr, C. K, Clarke, now ir tendent of the Toronto asylum, in re ference to the awfully destructive ten- denvies of a man who had been con vieted of a crime and then transferred to Rockwood asylum at Kingston. The very recital of this man's deeds was horrifying. Imbecility, he said, was a defect of the brain, insanity a disease of the brain, and it was im- possible by education to entirely over- ie, divided ee ; He divi people tuto absolute low ade, medium and hi up to men of genius, of 'whom there ers but few.

Chief Detective Carpenter and Two Judges Will Compose it--Chief of Police Campeanu Will Go. Montreal, Feb. 10.--One of the firs acts of the pew civic mana nt is expected to be the creation of a police commission, of which, it is said, Chief Dotective Carpenter will be a member with two judges. The likelihood of Chief of Police Campean remaining at the head of the police is remote, owing to the unfortunate showing he made before the royal commission as well as owing to his general weakneds of administration.

Time was not called and the Kingston boys stack gamely to the struggle until the score stood a tie four goals all, and then finding that the play had heea gong for ssventy-five minutes, the Kingston boys left the ice.
