Leading Canadian medical men are confident that the time is not far dis- tant when the provinces will hand over to the Dominion Medical Coun~ efl 'the direction of all medical mat- ters. The Dominion Council was established only a few years ago. Saskatchewan was the first of the provinces to delegate the direction of its medical affairs to this Council. Now British Columbia has done likes wise. It is now up tO the Ontario Medical Council to go out of exist- ence. If its old timers balk, it may be legislated out. If Ontario passes up its medical powers to the national) body, QWebec may be induced to fol- low the banner province, while the smaller provineds "would naturally | make it' unanimous. A national medical 'body is to be preferred to nine provincial bodies, THE NEED OF EDUCATION, Education, and still more eduéa- tion, is the great need of the world to-day. Ignorance lies at the root of most of our troubles, social, in- dustrial and national. It is the for< eign element of our population, wihich is for the most part illiterate, that is responsible for the labor trou- bles that now afflict the country. If these men had the wisdom to fore« see the ultimate results of their folly they 'would draw back as from the verge of a precipice, because their policy, 'if persisted in, would mean the destruction of the whole indns- trial fabric. / "Phe most prominent causes of pov erty, in the opinion of the Yswego Times, might be summarized under the heads of ignorance and weakness of will. ' There is pe- disputing that conclusion. Of course there are many cases of crushing misfortune MARY ON CARDEN ISLAND TO SPEND THE SUMMER SEASON IN COTTAGES. The Evening Boat Service Still Very Jirreguiar--The Crops Are Suffer ing Owing to Drought. (By Our Island Correspondent) The island has been a very popu- lar place during the hot days of the past week, the cool Breeze which pre- vails there being very welcome to city workers, On Susay a large number of people visited the island and spent an "enjoyable day. Amongst them were Mrs. Robert Mec- Mahon 4nd family from the city. A plenie panty also came over on the Wolfe Islander and spent the day op the island. The late Sunday trip back to Kingston being madé by the ferry is very convenient for the city relatives of the islanders and it is much appreciated. Several new arrivals oecurred dur- ing the week. Lieut. Jack Calvin and Mrs, Calving arrived last Satur- day and are staying at the cottage formerly occupied by J. K. Carroll Mr. and Mrs. Walter H. Boyd and family are now residing with Mr, and Mrs, Hiram Calvin. Mr. and Mrs. Dill Calvin and family are expected to arrive at the island on Satur: day. A party of five clerks from the Bank of Commerce and the Merch- ants' Bank of Kingston have rented the cottage formerly oecupied by Sidney Smith, and intend to spend the summer on the island. They have «bought a motor boat with which to make the daily trip to the city. They are all young fellows, and with the assistance of the campers at 'Point Scotty Camp,"they should put a little life into events at the island. They intend, if possible, to lay out a ten- nis court on one of the large vacant spaces on the island. This will help greatly to brighten the long summer evenings. At present the chief recre- ations are swimming and fishing, both of which are very popular, Mrs. Robert McMahon and family moved over to the island from Kings ton on Wednesday. There is now a bigger crowd over here than thers has been for some years, and more are expected within the fext two weeks, : The evening boat service: is still very irregular; the five o'clock being nearly two hours late on oceca- sions. This lateness is largely due to the heavy shipments of straw being made from the island, The cerops at the farin are suffer- ing very much from the lack of rain; the ground being baked very hard. Unless some heavy rain comes soon, there will be a poor crop of vegeta- bles. The only crop which has pros. pered Is the grass crop. Prof. 'W. D. Taylor hag received a cable 'from Scotland informing him of the safe' arrival of Mrs. Taylor, who went over on the 88. Cassandra. The ship was twenty days en route, owing to the dent with which it met just after leaving Canada, and the professor had. quite an anxious time wilting fof news. HE Capt. Dix now has his store Gnd post office open, and the islanders find it very convenient for the purs chase of supplies. As in other years, it is open only before the departure and immediately following the ar- Rippling that no human. foresight could avert. Many people of good intelligence, who have made a brave fight, have been unable to cope with the over- powering difficulties of their lot. In so far as ignorance causes pov. erty, it is to a large extent remov- able. Every time a child slips out of school with but tie very begin-| nings of education, the chances of adding to the poverty of the coms munity are increased, The half- trained boy or girl hag not developed any mental power to meet the situ tions of 'life.

When the 'mutiny broke out, Cawnpore, was under the command of Sir Hugh Wheeler, an efficient "nd experienced officer. It was gar- risoned by about 3,000 native troops With a sprinkHng of white soldiers. When news of the Meerut outbreak reached Wheeler he was placed in a most difficult position. On June 4th the garrison mautinied and from then until June 26th the handful of Brit- ish soldiers with the few natives who remained loyal, composed the garri- son of a fortification that could not have stood out ageinst a serious as- sault for a single hour, held on in hope of relief. When this hope died down they surrendered to the Nana on his solemn promise that all their lives should be spared, sind that they should have a safe conduct to Allaha- bad. The Nana, partly urged by his native cruelty and partly anxious to commit his followers beyond all Lope of compromise, massacred the entire garrison in the beats that should have taken it down the river, reserving only twé hundred women and children who were afterwards backed to death and their bodies thrown down the well at Cawnpore when Havelotk's avenging army was within sight of the city. No single aot of the Indian mutiny elicited such a fience storm of anger among the British, both of those who were fighting inv India and of those at home, and for no act was a more ter- rible vengeance ever taken. Dr. Harvey Clare, Toronto, is ap- pointed medical director of Ontario hospitals. The office is a new one; and is taken as a forward step in in- stitutional management. Dr. Clare is to have general supervision of the medical work in eonnection with the Ontario hospitals, The French foreign office was noti- fied that the German delegation who will sign the peace treaty will arrive at Versailles Friday morning. It is thought the signing bf the treaty will take place at two o'clock Friday afternoon. wn ERY i : The transfer of 60,000 to 70,000 Bn Dror; root to pressing problem for the Eatente. : Mrs. BE. G.
