THE CHARACTER OF BRITONS.

ALIVE TO THE CALL OF DUTY.

NOT AN INSULAR PEOPLE.

ENGLAND'S CONTRIBUTION

TO THE WORLD.

་་

The two governing factors of the British social idea were the call of duty and the stress of class, said Mr. H. A. L. Figher, Warden of New College, Oxford, in the course of an address given on July 28th to members of the City of London Vacation Course in Education His subject was

"The Foundations of England."

The Romans, he observed, gave us our roade; the Saxons and Danes the foundations of our social characteristics; the Normans and the Angeving a great part of the splendid inheritance of Latin civil- ization. We had managed to escape violent revolutions; and our only unsuccessful war was with the American colonies which we now regarded as a blessing in diaguise.

We were apt, continued Mr. Fisher, to take pur good fortunes of the past for granted and to suppose that because we had been fucky in the past and were not so badly off at the present time we should inevitably continue to pros- per in the future.

It should be remembered on the other hand that we had not always been considered

a prosperous or important people. On the eve of the French Revolution, for instance, the English stock was very low and almost every Continental observer thought that England was a spent

force.

Dr, Kennedy, who is consulting surgeon to St. Mary's Hospital for Children and other institutions, had been invited to speak on tuber culosis as it is seen by the general practitioner.

He told his audience that the in- tensive propaganda now carried on against the White Scourge, with its rest expenditure of money, the es- tablishment of sanatoria all over the country, and the host of officials that had come into being, was pro- ducing results inferior to those obtained 50, 100, and 200 years ago, when modern methods were in

known.

Dr. Kennedy said that lately the country had had a surfeit of tuber culosis mortality, and it appeared reduction was a direct result of the to be taken for granted that the campaign against the disease;

The present expenditure labour and money had not been of justified by results. An examina tion of the death rate from tuber- culosis in London during the past two centuries showed that in 1721 'it' was 14 per cent, in 1891 25 per

cent, and in 1871 12 per cent.

In the 50 years after 1821, at time when no preventive methods and no scientific treatment were were being employed, the mortality from tuberculosis had fallen there fore by 50 per cent.

But since then-from: 1871 on wards when scientific methods of prevention and treatment had been instituted, the mortality had been reduced by only a further 3 per

cent.

"When one considers the posi- tion on the mortality figures, how ridiculous. It appears!

Dr. Ken- nedy commented.

Inspector Bloor was in charge di the case.

Witness explained that he had seen the defendant åt an address in D'Aguilar Street where he (witness. after went to smoke opium. He was told by the proprietor of that shop that he would receive a caller in the course of a few days in con- nection with a Triad Society.

On the third visit of the defen- dant, witness admitted his identity and the defendant asked him to come to ten. At the tea house the de- fendant mentioned the Triad Society and said that the subscrip tion would be 830.

Witness told him that he had not got the money and did not want to join, whereupon the defendant' threatened to stab him unless the money was forthcoming. The de- fendant.

Witness said he and the other fokit actually saw the defendant pull the dagger drom his pocket and threat- en to stab the witness if the money was not paid. The other kit in the shop then intervened and as soon as witness was free he blew his police whistle. The defendant ran into a lane of Wellington Street but was arrested by a Chi- nese constable.
