these two facts are closely re- lated. and that the increase in voluntary admissions accounts in large part for the rise in total admissions. Since 1948 a good deal has been done through the National Health Grant Program, to assist the Provinces in many aspects of their health work. The Mental Health Grant. which amounts to 87,000,000 annually is used in var ious ways by the Provinces. 50 per cent of it provides sssistanc to mental hospitals. Extension of community mental health servi- ces has occurred on a widespread scale. e.g. in 1944 there were less than 20 mental health clinics in Canada. Today. there are 140 com munity mental health services a- cross the country. These com- prise 85 out-patient services in hospitals as well as 35 full-time and 25 part-time clinics. The majority g these have received support ei er wholly or partially from the Mental Health Grant. In addition, about 40 general hos- pitals now have well equipped wards where psychiatric trust- ment is provided by competent professionally trained staff." EDUCATION More significantly the problem of mental illness has been tack- led by the education of various types of personnel. psychiatrists. nurses, psychologists, social work- ers; as well as by the use of new- er drug therapy. All these in- fluencing lactors give evidence that a fresh wind is blowing through the corridors of our men. tal hospitals. and that. as one au- thority puts it. "the mental his- pital is becoming a school lor oer- sonailty gmwtli rather than the custodian of personality failure". "lt is rather fascinating though to speculate on the inter-relation- ship of some of these things. how. when the timing is right. so often they seem to fall into place. For instance. the concept of rehabili- tation has been attracting the widest attention in medical prac- tlce-this idea of being able to return to society an intact person skilled (perhaps newly skilled) in important techniques. and espe- cially In "the art of living in the interval between bed and Job". Another way of saying this of course is that the aim of rchsbu- litation is "to ensure each in-

Miss Percy added that as time goes on much of what we have called "psychiatric nursing" will quietly seq the standards for just nursing-anywhere, everywhere. The speake reminded mem- bers that "nurses need good men. tal health more than any other Zrouli because of having to relate to so many people in the course of the day's Wnrh". It all adds

INDIRECT ATTACK

"There is a strange phrase I heard in a sermon text a long time ago. The verse is from the Old Testament and has to do with a directive given the Israelities as to how they were to come at their enemy the Phllistines. They were not to attack them directly, but to ”turn away from them and come upon them over against the mulberry trees. And it shall be. when thou shalt hear A gov ing is the Mulberry Tops" that that then thou shalt go out to bat- tle. for God is gone forth be- fore thee to smile the hot of the Phllistines."

Perhaps in a sense this illus- trates the strategy which will be ultimately successful in this war against mental illness. on behalf of mental health-an indirect at- tack coupled with sensistive a- wareness to the importance of

Drug Plant In

Mr. Edwin Bagnall has return- ed to Charlottetown following a two year's stay in India where he worked with a Canadian team in the establishment of a plant for the manufacture of penicillin. The plant is located at Poona which is about it!) miles inland from Bombay.

The problem of mental illness is found in unlikely places. in familiar places-"over against the mulberry trees”. And the timing of the attack? "When there is a sound of going in their tops." "Surely." said Miss Peri.-y,.”as we look away for a moment from the immediate problems. all of us if we listen carefully, can hear that sound-now,"
