SERIOUS CONDITION A serious condition had been found to friiist, and the government, through the proper departments, will attempt more earnestly than ever before to Solve the problem. This statement came In connection Win a brief outline of what the province Is doing In one way and another lor social betterment. The declaration Was greeted with applause, for the Social Service Council has been pressing vigorously during the past four or five years for a more far-reaching plan by which the young feeble-minded may be helped.

P. Downey and Mr. McGhie, tha Violent Storm Rages In English Channel PARIS, Nov. 16. A violent storm was rt orted today on the English channel, delaying arrival of vessels in French ports.

Two naval seaplanes broke from their moorings at Brest. One belonged to the cruiser Duquesnes and it was smashed against the side of another vessel. The second was thrown up on for now have in the back of our heads a scheme for prcvince-wide treatment for these cases. It Is remarkable how the physically and mentally weak may be built up and made useful In modest capacities. I don't think that In any country In any part of the world is there a system as far advanced, for Instance, as in our auxiliary school system under the devoted and competent Inspectorship of Dr.

Sinclair. There are now some 204 of these classes to this province, and this number will be Increased as fast as conditions warrant." The public had little realization, he concluded, of what was being done by the province in various fields of social welfare. In the mental hospitals there were 10.000 cases alone, and he was sure the plans which are now being considered for the extension of training for the feeble-minded would go a long way toward the solution of this old and rather difficult problem.

Mrs. Monforton was brought to the Ontario Hospital on an order from the Attorney General's department. Dr. W. H.

Robinson, medical superintendent of the Ontario Hospital, swore. She was at first very much depressed, but later a marked change for the better was noted, and her reports indicated a general improvement in her mental health. She was no longer regarded with any apprehension, and she was encouraged to go about the grounds as much as she pleased, in the hope that the out-of-doors would aid in relieving her mind of the strain that oppressed her after the deaths of the children. She had been placed as a patient In the upper reception hospital and was reported as uniformly bright and cheerful. She was under the immediate supervision of Miss D.

Wright during the day, and Miss B. Jackson at night. WENT TO CHURCH Her request to attend the services last Sunday at St. Patrick's Redemptorist church, had been readily granted. St.

John Flynn, an attendant, testified that he saw her leaving church after the services had concluded. Miss Jackson, the night nurse, spoke to Mrs. Monforton before going off duty at about 6.30 Sunday morning, but missed her from the ward at 8 o'clock that night. She was then informed that Mrs.

Monforton had been granted permission to attend church, and it was believed she would return with another patient. When the other patient returned and Mrs. Monforton was not with her. a report was immediately sent to the superintendent's office and a search was instituted. It was at about that time that Policeman Simpson found the body on the railway tracks.

Miss J. Graham and Miss E. Pad-ham, nurses in the reception hospital, both swore that during the afternoon and early evening they had talked occasionally with Mrs. Monforton, who seemed bright and who gave no evidence of any recurring despondency. Thes P.
