That amount would more than pay for installmg at least an automatic electric signal bell a every level crossing in Canada. All that anyone who wishes to have a dangerous crossing protected needs to do is to. write a letter to the Board of Railway Commission- ers, Ottawa, and give the reasons for consid- ering the crossing dangerous. The Board will then investigate, and if the complaint is justified will issue an order dividing the ex- pense of the protection afforded between F railway, the municipality and the gov- ernment. Any person can make the com- plaint, and that is all he will have to do. Of this amount voted by the Government the commission can pay 20 per cent. up to 5,000 of the cost of protecting any crossing and can compel the railway and municipal- ity to pay the remainder. The weak spot in this otherwise excellent law is that the com- mission is not instructed to go ahead and order the protection of crossing without; having received a complaint. The govern- ment has placed on the people the responsi- bility of make the first move. Tt is a fact that very few people know either of the remedy at hand, or of the responsibility that rests on them. We seem to have had the idea that the only law for protecting crossings was that which compelled engineers to whistle when ap- proaching them. During the three years this aw.has been in force only 129 crossings e id -during that time every application to the- board for protect- ion to a crossing has been attended to, which is evidence it is worth while to ask for pro- tection. It sems almost incredible that so few applications have been made when we note the fact that durir the same three years there haye been 174 persons:killed on level crossings and 218 injured. We are so thoroughly accustomed to hay- ing all matters of public interest attended to by public officials that we find it a little it in this case the respon- sib rests ourselves: It is not nec- bear to have the officers of the municipal- ity act. This is an excellent feature of the law. Councillors have to be very careful mses,-and-for that-rea- son they are afraid to ask for protection that may lead to the municipality being assessed for part of the cost. Fortunat- ely, they need not be considered in this matter. Any citizen who has a touch of public spirit, or human feling can have a dangerous crossing abolished without. con- sulting anyon Moreover the man who lodges a comiplaint need not be a resident of the municipality which has the danger- ous crossing. This makes it possible for the farmer w ho is endangered by the eros- sing in the town or village in which he does tage of the law without hesitation, not on business to have the danger removed. As the majority of the level crossing victims are country people they should take.advan- to the profession... Miss Jex Blake first applied-to the University of London -and the n sought admission to the University of dinburgh, where the court immediately sed: regulations for the: medical educa- of women. Strong opposition devel- oped from the medical students and later om the authorities and the movement in ment of the court of session holding the original admission of women to have been illegal. Miss Jex-Blake returned to London and took a prominent in establishing the School of Medicine for.

This power was first. used by in Dublin and its example was followed later by other examining bodies. Dr. Jex- 1Blake started to-practice in Edinburgh in 1878 and in 1886 founded the School of Medicine for Women and its degrees wers Mrecognized for graduation by the Univer- sity of Edinburgh in 1894.

But it is not Harger than the Proyince s need of railway facilities and it is the cheapest possible means of supplying those facilities. The companies dealt with are companies of fin- ancial strength. The lines to be built are lines of which there is need and which pro- mise to be able to pay their way before any considerable time has elapsed.
