The sources from which the colo
nists have come to Canada during the
year 1906 have not varied greatly from
previous years. In general it might be
said that Great Britain and the. United
States have furnished the Dominion
with the bulk of the colonists who
have found home in Canada. Many
thousands have arrived in the coun-
try from the nations of continental Eu-
rope, but when the comparison is
made it is found that the immigration
from those countries is not as signlfi-
cant as it is sometimes supposed to be.
From the last exact figures fur
nished by the department of the inte-
rior it appears that the immigration
from Great Britain to the Dominion
was forty-five per cent of the total i'm
migration from all countries. That
from the United States was thirty per
cent of the total, and that from the
countries of continental Europe, TWEEN
ty-fve per cent. of the total. In the
numbers from the countries of CONT
mental Europe are included those from
all other portions of the world.
The complete figures for the year
19O5-19O6 have not been published, but
il is stated that this proportion is still
being maintained, and there will be no
substantial variation from it this
year. In the future owing to the de-
velopment of certain phases of the EN-.
migration work in Great Britain, it is
anticipated that the proportion OF
British people coming to Canada will
be still further increased and there is
no reason to suppose that the numbers
of English-speaking people arriving
from the United States will show and
diminution There is therefore no great
reason, judging from the statistics OF
the past few years, to fear that in the
future, the general condition will be
greatly changed in Canada owing to
the presence of a large alien popula-

FIFTY Per Cent Of Brooklyn School
Children Haze Form of Disease.

Regarding the general and dangerous spread
in Manhattan and Brooklyn of traChoma, or
granular lids of the most formidable Of
the extrinsc diseases of the eye. Superintendent
Robert w Bassett of the Brooklyn Eye and Ear
Hospital said last evening that fully so per cent
of the public school children Of Brooklyn were
afflicted with eye troubles. and about onethird
of that number had trachoma.
Superintendent BasSett considered this estl-
mate conservative, judging from trustworthy re-
ports which he had received and from his per-
sonal observations He maintained, however
that many children sent out Of school by the
school inspectors We're suffering from an eye
trouble known folCular Conjunctivitis, which
resembled incpent traChoma, and could be
cured If taken promptly in hand, but which, II
neglected might lead to blindness, like trachoma
itself. Superintendent Bassett went on to say:
This large percentage of the public school popu-
lation of Brookyn-fully one-half-which is af-
hicted with eye diseases is due to personal un-
tidness. improper food and bad air, the poor
hygienic surroundings in which so many chill
dren live.

there would be plenty 10 do for special hospitals
which might be established by the city.
DR. S J. Prout Of the Long Island College

q good many cases of eye trouble among the
school children of Brooklyn. most OF them suf-
fering with follicular conJunctivitis.
