For the first time since that morn.
ing of March when ITO school child
rem and two teachers lost their lives
in the Collinwood school fire, the
children of that suburb left their
homes and started to school Mon
day. 1t was with greatest reluctance
that many of the mothers, who lost
two or three little ones in The terrible
fire, allowed what is left of their lit
tie flock to start forth.
The little girls who the first day OF
school in former years tripped along
the street holding the hand OF young
er brothers, walked alone Monday
Or. again, it was the boy who went
alone. Then in many homes where
formerly one or two little ones said
good-byes before making their way
to school, the mother could only
watch the others pass.

Several years ago when the Long
cliff hospital became congested two
tent wards were built to take care OF
the extra patients. just about this
time the discovery was made that
tuberculosis could be helped and some
times cured in this country if the pa
tients spent their time out OF doors
more AS a result the tuberculosis
inclined patients of the asylum were
placed in these tent wards to give
them the benefit of the experiment.
When the two new wards were
built TO the hospital the old tent
ward was done away with, similar in
character, made out of rubbertex.
There are thirty OF the men patients
of the hospital housed in this ward
now. The officials found that those
with tuberculosis have better health
and show signs of recovering when
placed in this structure In the sum-
mer time plenty of air circulates
through there. but the patients are
given no chance to take cold, while
the place is kept warm in the winter,
but still the patierts get the benefit
of the fresh air.
But for this improvised ward the
hospital would be filled at present,
despite the fact that it has been
hardly a year since the two new
brick wards were completed 1t is
the opinion of the officials that il
will not be long at the present rate
until other wards will have to be
built
