It just happened that this little girl was the daughter of ithe trustee who protested against | medical and dental inspection in the schools and although he resented the ingerference of Government officials, he complied with the suggestion and took the little girl to the family doc- tor. After a slight examination of the child, the doctor said, "I am sorry to tell you that your child is blind of one eye and the other eye is also affected. It must have been very'dif- ficult for her to read the writing on the blackboard at school and to keep up with the rest of her class. The sight of one eye is beyond recovery but I will do my best to preserve that of the other eye." If you had brought her to me two years ago, I think I could have saved the sight of both eyes." One can easily imagine the feelings of the father, who professed to have so marked affection for his children, when he learned that his lit- tle girl was growing up in blindness under his care. There would be no limit to the sacrifice if the sight of the blind eye could be recovered. He should have had greater appreciation of the school rgulation that provides [for 'médical and dental inspection of the "children. Theré are, no doubt, many children all over the Province of Ontario, suffering from blindness, deafness and other handicaps because parents and trustees are remiss in their responsibility for the trust com- mitted to them. Good health is fundamental to in- dividual and national prosperity, We are making a great effort to improve the courses of study in our schools and provide bet'er buildings and equipment, but this will be of little avail in producing intelligent citizens if we do not take care of the health of the children. A "remarkable thing about health is that any community can have as much of it as the people are willing to pay for. Forty-Seven Per Cent. Unfit. .

Fuel Supplies Running Out. B. F. Haanel, of the Mines Depart. ment at Ottawa, and member of the Canada Fuel Board, warna Canadians that this country is soon to be faced by a permanent fuel shortage.

A despatch from Toronto says:-- Canadians with medest means invest- ed nine millions of dollars in the L. R. Steel Company, Inc., of the United States. This was the definite state- ment made on Fric night by an official who is in a position to know. A comparatively small amount of this was reinvested in Canada. Canadian investors put their, money direct into the American company and will now have to look to the proceed- ings launched in the United States for any return for the millions put inte the bold undettakings of L. R. Steel. The appointment of G. T. Markson as receiver of the business in Canada is entirely separate from the winding-up proceedings taken in the United States. Mr. Ciarkson will call a meet- ing of creditors (not shareholders) and determine what is owing to firms by the Canadian company, and any surplus left will be sent to the United States and put into the general melt- ing pot for distribution from there. It is stated that the Canadian stores owed, approximately $200,000, and it is quite likely there will be sufficient to pay these ¢ . Fifty Years a Weatherman.
