[AGE TWO TOWNS OLD AND NEW Sixty-one years is not a very long period even in the life of a country in this New World of America, and yet it is curious how comparatively few of the towns of Canada go back to Confederation. and how few even of these ’were plac- es of any importance in 1867. The growth of Canadian towns since Confederation is not the least important meas- ure of the development of the Dominion. Obviously Quebec. with its long history, counts several cities that were already ancien tâ€"once more from a New World point of viewâ€"in 1867 such as Montreal, Quebec, Three Rivers and Sorel; but the latter, although its history goes back to the middle of the seventeenth century, was not incorporated as a city until 1889. Sherbrooke also goes back to the beginning of the last century; and Hull was founded about the same time. The more recent towns are pretty well confined to a few industrial centres su‘Eh as- Shawinigan Falls and Thetford Mines. Ontario’s pre-Confederation towns number Toronto, Kingston, Ottawa, Hamilton, London, Kitchener (Berlin) and several others. Toronto was a small town in 1867. It now numbers over half a million. Ottawa has grown in the same period from a population of less than 20,000 to 110,000; the growth of Hamilton has been even more rapid. The same is true in greater or less degree of nearly all the other towns of the province. Fort William, Port Arthur, Kenora, Sault Ste Marie, North Bay, Haileybury, Sudbury, and many other Ontario towns had not been thought of when the Dom- inion was born. Jalnv “u "ya.-. In the Maritime Provinces, conditions are somewhat like the province of Quebec, though the only town down by the sea that compares in age with Montreal and Quebec is Ann- apolis Roy‘al, founded under‘the name of Port Royal in 1605. and therefore three years older than the city of Quebec and thirty-seven years older than Montreal. Maritime towns have grown considerably since Confederation although not at the same rate as those of Ontario. v vnnv ~w-.-v -w- v”. 77 When we reach Western Canada, however, we find an amazing growth in toWns and cities. In 1867 Winnipeg was nothing but a straggling line of small buildings, nearly all of wooden construction, strung along what is now Main street. Its fame rested then only upon the fact that it was still an important centre of the fur trade. Probably no one, stand- ing then at the corner of what it now Main street and Portâ€" age avenue could have imagined, no matter how vivid his im- agination, that sixty years later Winnipeg would be a city of 200,000 with public buildings, shops, industrial establish- ments and comfortable homes stretching out in every direct- ion over what was then open prairie. 1 Hundreds of young men and women are to emerge from ' school and college this month ready to tackle the world. They are the fresh regiments in the oldest and most hopeful youth movement in history. Moving-up day is just around the corner. Ava. v. v... __-_. At the time of Confederation Edmonton was still a tradâ€" ing post of the Hudson’s Bay Company and nothing more; Victoria was a very small town, lifted into temporary and feverish activity a few years before by the famous gold rush; New Westminster was a hamlet; Prince Albert had just been founded. The great city of Vancouver was still a dream of the future; so were Calgary and Regina and Saska- toon, Nelson and Moose Jaw and Lethbridge, Medicine Hat and Prince Rupert and Dawson City. ‘ n ‘ n . v“-.. _ ___..- _e_‘. a, , In fact no more striking evidence can be found of the growth of Canada since Confederation than the contrast be- tween its towns as they were in 1867 and as they are toâ€"day with their industrial, commercial and social developments, their fine public buildings, well-paved streets, wonderful means of transportation well-equipped and efficient public schools and the innumerable modern comforts and conveni- ences, water-supply, electric light, telephones, street rail- ways and so forth, that have become so much a matter of course that few of us ever stop to consider that our forefath- ers in 1867 not only had to do without them, but in many cases would have thought anyone mad who suggested the mere possibility of such fantastic and improbable contrivan- C85. .This periodic refreshment of the muddy stream of life with the clear water of youth is always the promise of pro- gress. We like immensely the adventurous manner in whi- ch youth tackles the old obstacles and diagnoses the old dis- eases of the world. ' We; like the way youth laughs at the slogan “It can’t be done,” and does the impossible. We are glad that before the youthful vision “fades into the common light of day,” great things have been accomplished. v-----°~ ..v. . . We like the believing mind of youth; a mind not easily tired. We admire its disregard for vested interests, of wh- ich it has few. We are glad that once a year a new force appears on the field which has everything to gain and noth- ing to lose! ---o "viiefi greet the confident youth of the land, so sure that the World is its particular oyster.

It shows a deâ€" crease, but nevertheless, it still acâ€" counts for a tremendous number of deaths. Because it is a chronic dis- ease, its victims suffer for years, durâ€" ing- which time their earning powers are reduced; consequently, Tubercul- ;osis is one of the greatest causes of 1poverty. Also, because a large per- centage of tuberculosis deaths occur during early adult life, it is the reason why many children are left mother- less or fatherless. There is one particular point in con- nection with this disease to which we wish to draw the attention of our reaâ€" ders. This, that children are most Susceptible to tuberculosis. Without in any way minimizing the dangers of the spread of tuberculosis in other ways, it should be understood by all that it is the repeated exposure to large doses of infection that is the real ‘practical danger. Living in the home lwith a tuberculous person, who is ig- norant of the fact that he ZS suffering from the disease, or who, knowing that he has the disease, :5 careless, it is almost certain that repeated heavy doses of infection will be passed to others in the home.

Infection received in childhood is frequently re- sponsible for the development of the disease in later life. If tuberculosis is to be stamped out. it is necessary that more care be takâ€" en to protect young children. This means that adults must take more precautions since children cannot take care of themselves. Because it is most frequently in the home that tub- erculosis is spread, the necessity for care in the home is apparent. To pro- tect the children, adults must preserVe their own health, and must practISe living in such a manner that they do ‘not endanger their children. No one would willingly expose his child to disease, but where there is spitting, uncovered coughing and sneezing, and the use of common drinkingâ€"cups in the home, the child, in that home is not being given a fair chance to eseape disease. In such a. home, if there is a case of tubercul osis, the child will most certainly con- ;tract the disease.
