THE HOSPITAL.

Just the other day a story came
down from Manitoba which pefauades
as to the opinion that the average CITY
dweller but half appreciates his good
luck in living within easy reach Of a
good hospital.
Way up there in the far north a
woman became i'll. Her husband, a
Canadian farmer, hurried to the near
est physician to their home. When
the doctor arrived he saw that the
thing the only thing-to do was to
take the patient to hospital, where
operating room and expert attendance
might save the stricken Woman's lie.
Bat ne nearest hospital, at Winnipeg
was a matter of 100 miles, and the pa.
tieEt was not in the hospital until six
hours had gone by, and in these six
hours, according to the doctors. the
hope ana possibility Of saving ,he
womans lie had vanished.
Those human beings who live within
a few minutes ride of a hospital are
slow TO realize that the day may come
when life or death for them viii be d
que ston of time necessary To get to
Jhe nearest hospital
Not only is the question of time

AN EXAMPLE TO AMERICA
The Tampa Tribune says:

The Tampa Tribune says:
When the war was first started
there were thousands of young Am
erican boys who, growing impatient
of waiting for opportunity to go as
United States soldiers, rushed over
the border and enlisted as members
of the various Canadian units.
They are beginning to get home
now, those who did not make the su-
preme sacrifice side by side with their
Canadian cousins, and it is pleasing
to hear them tell how that wonderful
Canada treated us like gentlemen
Gunner Harry Smith, Connecticut
soldier, back home, tells in the New
York Times a story which is wortfl
listening to. He says:
81 was discharged one hour after
arriving in Canada from overseas,
and, equipped with my first months
gratuity allowance, transportation
and service badge, was on my way
home in the United States in 'jaz2
time We were also allowed $50 for
civilian clothing. / am now receiv-
ing $40 and my wife $50 per month
for the time stated. My wife receiv-
ed regularly and promptly $50 per
month during my absence, plus for
eign exchange money. / cannot speak
too highly of the wonderful country
which treated US American volunteers
like gentlemen
AS Mrs. Malaprop said, "compari-
sons are odorous."

address the fact that the schools
were lost in the matter OF teaching
patriotism. He advocated the teach
ing Of patriotism in the elementary
school, SO by the time the students
had reached the upper classes they
would have clearer conception of
what the word patriotism meant than
they have now. Mr.. Mcconnell sug-
gested that the teachers should look
after the social and economic well
fare of the students as well as after
their educational welfare He is of
the opinion that there are four dis
tinct sections Of complete educa-
ton which are: Mental training,
