The British Columbia government is confronted with a direct charge of eounlenancing 'the plane by which the province is being filled up with alien labour. The Victoria Times, reputable paper, and one which is equal to a vigorous defence if attack- ed by the government, alleges that as a result of legislation some time ago, which was meant to declare the immigration of Aslatios illegal but actdally declared it to be legal, an army of Japanese came into the coun- try. They were under contract with one Giotch, a Japanese, who was acting a for the C.P.R. aod the Wellington ERR TE OUR SAW MILL- Is buzzing every day culting Hard Elm and Oak Timbers and Saw Logs, making lumber, not butchering it, but sawing fit square and straight.

While a large part of the United States has been occupied by the pro- hibitionists--while the average map has been marked to show constant ad: vance in the option law--the statistics of the country importation Tiquor. The average import indicate an increased and use of coffee and prices show di- vergent fluctuations during the decade. Of cocoa and cacao, crude, the average import price has decreased from 13.7 cents per pound in 1899 to 11 cents per pound in 1908 and still wines in casks, from 68.9 cents per gdllon to On the other hand the .m- port price of distilled spirits has in- creased from $1.37 per gallon to £1.76; of champagne, from $14.42 per quarts t6 $16.35, and that of tea from 12.5 cents per pound in 1899 to 15.8 cents in 1909, The difference in value may 17.6 cents, dozen account for the larger amount that is spent iy but it does not count for all of it. Tu wines the sum spent in 1909 was $7,000,000, as against $7, 000,000 in 1599; in spirits, $8,750,000, {as against $3,500,000; in malt liquors, 182,300,000, as against $1,500,000; in ginger ale, $383,358, as against $268. 967; in mineral waters, $1,125,000, against $1,000,000, as of living is high because the ways of BLY LOAL po JARI 1110 the people are expensive, and that in luxuries they are spending more than they can afford. In wines and spirits the importations have been more than 100 per cent: Jn the cost of spirits alone the increase is over 150 per gent., which far exceeds the tage that might be expected an in- crease of population. SCHOOL MEDICAL INSPECTION. The department of education dictates in school matters perhaps a little too Ol ought to be under the direction of men who are experts in the business, but they can become narrow in their views and impracticable by living by themselves and out of touch with men of aflairs. The currioula of our high and public schools aré overburdened. Too much is being attempted in too short a time, and the result is a lack in the work of the pupils, and in the very essentials of education. 1t is for this reason that the Whig has hesitated to refer to a matter which is pressing for attention, the matter of medical supervision. Some one should * be appointed in every school district, 'and a number of per: sans where the distriet is large, to ex: amine the school children and pre seribe for those who need trestment. i The poor are always to be pitied. the 80 not ae indifferent to "tprovided by the state. It is evident from this that the cost much. The edueation of tho province! THE DAILY BRITISH whe, FaCRSLAY, yERRUARY. a 1919. some would imagine. They are simply unable to cope with some of the ex periences of the day. The life of every child is sacred, and his life could be made sweeter and happier if some one who could detect cd in the early vears the defects that hinder growth in health and knowl edge. In the larger cities medical men are required to visit the schools and inspect all the pupils. Those quire treatment are privately examin ed, and if the parents are unable to afford it then the medical assistance is The service in every case is performed with a con sideration for the circumstances of the pupils and their parents. --Th Fngland women do the inspecting, and some of them, trained for the purpose, supply the treatment. The teachers are in sympathy with the movement, and the teachers of Kings- 'ton have proved themselves to be wor- thy of high praise for the manner in which they have acted. They have personally interested themselves in the children, and have bestowed a care and affection upon them that are very much appreciated. The time has come when Kingston should have some one whose duty it is to study the phy sical] conditions of the children, and seeing that the school board delays in acting it could not be regarded as a griev- ance if the law made this service com- who re pulsory.

The temperance men will meel jin Toronto on February 17th to 15th {to- to-morrow), and talk over it has been affected Prior * day and the situation as by option law 1907 the majority ruled. That is as the majority voted the issue or non-issue of licenses in certain districts affected. Since 1907 there have been 394 contests, and in 147 the minority triumphed. That is in 147 places the by-laws were defeated because they were not supported by three-fifths of the ddectors who voted, and 249 licen: ses are being retained in places against the expressed will and opinion of the people.

Guelph is looking for a nurse of the Victorian Order who can act as an inspector or medical examiner of the school children. Kingston should not be lost in this new departure.
