DR. RYAN'S ADDRESS. 10 THE ROTARY CLUB b On Mental Health of the Na= tion--Principal Taylor Made Honorary Member. A very pleasant feature of the weekly luncheon of the Kingston Rotary Club at the British Ameri- can hotel on Friday was the re- celving of Dr. R. Bruce Taylor, prin- cipal of Queen's University, as an | honorary member, marking the first honorary membership of the local club. Dr" Taylor was given a most enthusiastic welcome by the mem- bers when he was introduced by the president, Leman A. Guild. The lat- ter remarked that this was the first honorary membership to be issued by the club and referred to the out- standing career of Dr. Taylor giv- ing an interesting sketch of his work. While Dr. Taylor was not until today a Rotarian, he had al- ways carried the ideal of service through his lyte. Dr. Taylor was greeted with the singing of "He's a Jolly Good Fel- low," and afterwards A. N. Lyster, the vice-president, presented the cer- tificate of membership to Dr. Tay- lor, and the secretary, Roy Ward, presented the Rotary pin, member- ship card and a copy of the club's by-laws. Dr. Taylor, in accepting the hon- orary membership in the club, stat- .ed that he hoped he would be of some service. He wished to take his share of the work and stated that he greatly appreciated the honor. He paid tribute to the work of Rotary clubs all over the world, referring especially to the work undertaken by the club for boys. He warmly commended the work and expressed the hope that he would be able to help the club. ------ Dr. Ryan's Address. Dr. E. Ryan, superintendent of Rockwood Hospital, was the speak- er of the day and he dealt in a most instructive manner on the question of the mental health of the nation. He stated that no country could be great unless it rested on a firm ba- sis. This should be one great con- cern of all classes of citizens, es- pecially a club such as the Rotary club, The speaker gave statistics showing that there were 11,300 per- sons receiving treatment in mental institutions in Ontario. Many of these institutions are over-crowded and as a result it was impossible to get efficiency. Many of the institutions were so crowded as to cause a great drawback in the treatment of cases. There was a continual cry for more accommoda- tion. Dr. Ryan referred to the great loss to the state as a result of peo- N ple having to undergo treatment and referred in feeling terms to many sad cases of the breakdown of peo- ple of all ages and in all walks of life. Today the medical men not only tried to cure disease, but also endeavored to locate the source of the disease so that it could be pre- vented. Day by day something was being added. One of the most re- cent discoveries of note was that of insulin, discovered by Dr. Banting for the cure of diabetes. The speaker remarked that while at the Rockefeller Foundation In New York recently, he learned that they were working on a cure for epi- lepsy. The discovery, however, was not to be announced to the world for a time yet. Dr. Ryan stated that for many years it was the general opinion that' insanity was hereditary, but this the speaker declared was not 80. Tuberculosis was not transmit- ted from parent to child. The dis- ease was contracted but not trans- mitted, Dr. Ryan stated that there was great need for education in the schools regarding mental disease. He referred to the thorough and he had arranged for Queen's Univer- sity. Operations were held and im- portant discoveries had been made and would be announced in due time. As a result of these clinics the students were bound to sectire information that would be of value. The speaker knew of no medical school where the students were brought, into closer touch with men- tact had been recognized by the state boards of New York which were asking for students from here who had studied mental diseases. Not only the doctors but the nurses should be educated along the lines of mental diseases. Imagine a nurse taking om a case who had no knowledge whatever of mental dis- extensive clinics on mental diseases)' tal digeases than at Queen's. The]. Chaumont, N.Y., in which he extend- ed best wishes to all the members. sort A New York Flag. Rotarian "Al" Davis left for Néw | York following the meeting of the | club on Friday. Before leaving President Guild stated that the Ro- | tary Club of New York desired the Kingston Club to accept a flag, as a token of good-will between the two clubs and that he had commissioned Rotarian Davis to accept the flag on behalf of the local club. "Al" was given a great "sendoff" by the menibers, The club received a letter from George: Pollitt, chairman of the playgrounds committe¢ of the Cen- tral epuncil of the Home and School clubs, in which he asked for the support of the club in its action to have the city take over the play- grounds in Frontenac and Victoria parks. On motion of Rotarians Howard Kelly and C. C .Nash, the club ap- proved of the recommendation that the civic parks committee allow the use of Victoria and Frontenac parks and take over the grant and equip- ment from the Board of; Education >and conduct the playgrounds as a civic movement under the control of the parks committee. The club had a great "sing-song" at Friday's session, The members have a new song book and it was wonderful the way they rendered the various numbers, with Harold Singleton at the plano and "Jack" Elder leading. Messrs. Singleton, Elder, "Bill" Bearance and Harry Breathwaite put over a new Rotary song in splendid style, Guests at the luncheon included J. 8. Johnston, G. E. Wightman, Wil- liam Bearance, Dr. W. O. Vrooman, and Dr. W. G. Anglin, THE TOWN WATCHMAN If Local Option is to be the solu- tion of the O.T.A., Kingston might be in the wet column, and Ganand- que would have to move up here part of the week. ---- The Christian Alliance speakers and quartette squeezed three thous- and dollars out of the pockets of Kingstonians in one week for mis- sions.

Kingston in reality has no debt at all. We have enought assets to cover all:our borrowings, and therefore we do not owe anything if we wanted to square up. The Progressives know where their bread and butter comes from these lean farming years and who could blame them for sticking with the Liberals? S-- The Utilities Commission, not to be outdone by the city council, an- nounces another reduction in elec- trical rates, There will be greater joy, however, when it announces a cut in the present high gas rate, The gas charge is really' $2 a thousand cubic feet, as ten per cent. discount is only given for payment ten days after a bill is issued. The consumers of 1920-1924 are paying a sweet penny for faulty construction of gas tanks. What they are paying is not merely for the gas they con- sume. ¢ Even the hens are giving us a cut rate of their produce, but the farm- ers do not relish it, and who can blame them? Skirts may again be creeping knee- ward, but men's eyes will still be cast downward. 3 -- Now along comes our friend An- drew Gray, who moves in the Ontario legislature for a cut in the liquor excise tax.
