He is considered one of the fathers of the Canadian system of Medicare, along with his fellow Saskatchewanian, Tommy Douglas. ==Early life== Hall was born in Saint-Colomban, Quebec, the fourth of eleven children of James Hall and Alice Shea. His parents were descendants of generations of impoverished farmers of Irish descent in the Saint-Colomban area.〔(Supreme Court of Canada Biography )〕〔(Encyclopedia of Saskatchewan: Hall, Emmett (1898–1996) )〕〔("Emmett Hall (Obituary)" ), ''Macleans'', November 27, 1995; published on-line by the ''Canadian Encyclopedia''.〕 Seeking a better life, his family moved to Saskatoon, Saskatchewan in 1910, when Hall was age 12, to take over a dairy farm. The Halls were Roman Catholics, and Emmett served as an altar boy at Saint Paul's Cathedral in Saskatoon.〔 Hall was in the audience on July 29, 1910, when Prime Minister Laurier laid the cornerstone for the University of Saskatchewan.〔 Hall studied law at the College of Law at the University of Saskatchewan, putting himself through by teaching French in local schools.〔 One of his classmates was John Diefenbaker, future Prime Minister of Canada.〔 He received his law degree from the University of Saskatchewan in 1919. Hall attempted to enlist in 1917, but was rejected as medically unfit, because he had been born blind in one eye.〔(''The Honourable Emmett M. Hall'' ), Saskatchewan Law Courts biography.〕 In 1922, Hall married Isabel Parker, a legal stenographer from Humboldt, Saskatchewan. They had two children, John Hall, who became a professor of medicine at Harvard Medical School, and Marian Wedge, who like her father, entered the legal profession and was appointed to the Saskatchewan Court of Queen's Bench.〔 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Emmett Matthew Hall」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
