Dr. Helen McMurchy, representative speaker of tlie Department, addressed tlie'convention, dwelling Kenerally on the work of the Insiitute Ihiouiibout the |)iovince. She noted the ;»ppropii,i'eneb9 of the niotio. •• For home and country. " At the tine the motto was chosen it was appropriate, now it is doubly si.-. She spoke of tl e excellent crop conditions throunhout the province and with satisfaclion of tl;e efforts beint; made by our farmers to meet the food needs of the world oCch- sioned by the withdrawal of 15,000,0< men from productive pursuits. In Canada half of our population is engaged Id the roduction of ftod supplies, and this is well, as the whole world looks to Canad* and the Slates for its foid supply. In answering the ijueslion, Is it well with our homes and omntry, she elo<juently referred to the noble work of our troops at the front, showInK the manner in which they are placing Canada in 1 hiiihrr position than she ever occu- pied before. If thi-( isa day oi sadnefs it is also a day of rejoicing, and Canada can today say to all the other nations, We have not failed . We have something to be proud of. But even ir. the midst of our national pride, conscious of the measure of succees that has been ours, we need to have a care thit w« do not become self-satisfied. Our viailance must never Ijecome relaxed . no that when our iK'ys return from the front I hey will realize that the country is then more worth their lacritice than when they wei.t away. ( >ur "phetes are as larye as our ebilitiei>, and everyone can find room to work if willing to take op the task nt hand. She slated that in the medical jnofession the problem for doctors was DO longer that of curing diseasec, litt that of preventing tliein. In tt.is respect there is great room for improvement. In Canada a large number of men have been rejected from the army on ace mill of medical unfitness. This shou'd not le so. Tliese men should l>e tit to go There is fioinething wioiig. Tlie btst test of the health of a countryâ€" the best test of civilizalioii â€" is ihe rate rf infant mortality. In this i-fspect the ciiy of Woodstwk bUnds the hiijhest in Ontario. As for countries, Ntw Zealand stands highest. Ontario, c nipsratively speak- ing, stands about average, but there ari- 102 deaths under one year for every lOOO babies born duriog the year 1!)IC. While nine eoldieis were killed in action evory hour, twelva babies have been lost every hour during the same time. She said wo hear much of the return lu the land, and advocated (11 agitation for a return to the borne, and s»id thai the young people of the country should be more generally urged to marriage. Ouly thus will be howe and its sanctity preserved in vigor and strength, llefcrriiig to mollit-if, Dr. McMurchy said they should be given first place in uveiy community. The work done by the W. I. in Ontario re- garding medical inspection in schools is very important and profitable. The speaker earned a liberal round of up- |>lause by her reference to the passing of the Military Service Act nnd the relii'f thit will now be hpeedily sent to our jDcii at 'lie front. Ths Prt'sldent read a motion inssed I y thu Meaford blanch respecting the est.ili- lishment of medical ins|ieclioii i.i ilio schools of the county.
