Healthiest Isle in the World,

lays GIOIGE MURRAY

It is time, I think, that a little more was heard about one of the world's healthiest islands-cc talnly the healthiest in the British lmpire. This is Prince Edward Island, Can- Ida.

Prince Edward Island itoa oii llcvs Sootls, in ths Ctuli oi St. Lawrence. It is the smallest Province of Canada, but it has the highest rural population in proportion to its size.

The people are mainly engaged in agriculture and ilsh- ins. The largest town is Charlottetown, with s. population d only 14,000. The total population oi the island ls seooo.

These are guide-book details-hut whet does not appear in the guide-book is the secret possessed by these 93,000 --the secret oi sboundlng health and vitality which people oi many other communities would give untold wealth to

POIISI. The Secret

That secret ls hidden somewhere in the lilo and records ci this astounding island.

Ibr the lset Icneraticn or so the birth-rates of every wes- tern country have been decreasing, and the decline in fertil- ity is booming more rapid. Prince Edward Island is the only known white community outside Russia. which has been more than reproducing itself steadily for the past 50 years.

The island's reputation is of long standing. A traveller writing oi it in 1M0 said: "The settlers generally live long and are exceedingly healthy. The children here thrive uncommonly in infancy, and ln general are as big and stout st 10 months old as those in Scotland at l6 and 16 months."

And 80 years ago the late Sir Andrew Macphail seld to Lord Geddes: ‘There is only one place in the world that I know oi where positive health exists-Prince Edward Island.”

Lord Geddcs mentioned ‘this during the recent House at Lords debate on the relation oi soil fertility to animal and vegetable health and human iertillty. He mentioned, too, an investigation carried out on Prince Edward Island last year by Dr. Enid Charles, the distinguished demo- grspher.

Her conclusions were printed in the Canadian Journal o! Economics and Political Science, s copy of which I havg just obtained from the University cf Toronto.

In her monograph Dr. Charles goes very thoroughly and scientifically into all the relevant statistics, comparing them with those of other countries.

Dr. Charles iinds a close parallel between living condi- tions in the county of Llncolnshire and those 0n the ls- land. "The Lincoln rates differ little from those on the island up to 1911, but after that date the divergence is marked," she writes.

Why? Dr. Charles goes carefully into figures oi mar- riage and migration-mot no doubt such local tendencies could be iound elsewhere. The island's sublime secret would not be dependent upon temporary phenomena.

She lived for two months on Prince Edward Island in an attempt to solve the mystery. She iound that thers wss no incentive to restrict the size oi families in order to attain a higher standard of living.

she found, too, that marriage opportunities were good, that racial and religious distinctions have remained stable, and that occupational changes have been small. Housing and iood are easily procurable.

Dr. Charles believes that fertility has remained stable because the people were sure oi adequate food and hous- ing, and because the island approximates to a classless so- ciety, isolated from disrupting influences.

Soil 's Influence

But is this the whole secret? May 1t not be because tne life-cycle cf agriculture-birth, growth, death, decay - has been going 0n with little alteration for generations? May it not be that the soil is naturally fertilized, and that the health oi the soil is passed on to the human beings who live from it?

This aspect oi the matter was mentioned by Lord Geddes in the House oi lords debate. "The farming is mixed," he sald, "not like the farming in the prairie provinces 0i Canada. It is mixed fern-ling, and had always been carried out in the traditional manner. not usinB 181KB qllflntiile! oi artificial fertilizers. but uslns muck and the products of the sea."

Now there is one fact which was not mentioned either by Dr. Charles or Lord Geddes. It is that. owing to too rnsny oat crops, the soil fertility of Prince Edward Island was found to be declining st the end of the nineteenth century.

But the islanders at once took steps 10 Puf- bavk 11115 b" heart by natural means. They dredged mussel mud from their bays and channels, and applied it to the earth.

It may or may not be significant that this occurred around the year i900, when the declining fertility of the people was also arrested.

To offer that as a. reason for the continued hcalth oi the Prince Edward Islanders is probably completely un- scientific. But the concidence is deeply interesting and h worth investigation.
