Editorial emotionalism, too indolent to seek the facts, broke forth mo later than yesterday, he declared, in referring to the O.A.C. boys as "disgusting young rowdies." "Forgetting his own youth," he stated, "this editor was guilty of having an emotional seance. Fur- ther, he illustrates very pitifully how much humanity loves its ston- ing parties." Mr. Harkness began his address on the "Inter-relation of Social Ser- vice Work in the Community® by expressing his pleasure at being pre- sent for the Oshawa and South On- tario County Children's Aid Society annual meeting. He pointed out that the Children's Aid Society is the only organization of social welfare and progress in Ontario that is organized on a county basis, under which in every county the neglected child has a door to hope. "I was particularly pleased," he said, "with your president's appeal for a membership campaign through which popular interest in the great work might be stimulated." Public Support He pointed out that the danger to the Children's Aid work lies in its becoming officialized, a body consist- ing of a formal Board divorced from popular interest and sympathy. Such, he declared, had been found to be undermining the service of the Social Service Council. A condition had arisen not long since in which the Council imagined that it could organize social service in communi: ties on a standard pattern, but ex: perience had taught the fallacy of that conception. Today, the speaker asserted, it is extremely difficult to define Social Service, or to distinguish between its service in the name of charity be tween its status as a public utility and as organized benevolence, The city hospital of London, On: tario, was cited by way of illustra tion. There the city bears the hospi- tal deficits which total some $150, 000 yearly. But no distinction is made between that part of the defi cit due to operating a first class hos- pital as a going concern--which is a public utility; and the care of indi- gent patients--which is social ser- vice, Yet, between these two there is a relation which was pointedly shown by the old time Methodist experience meeting where a woman got up and said that she had to plead guilty to the sin of vanity. "I look ip my mirror each morning," she declared. "But that's no sin, sister," the cir cuit rider informed her dryly, "that's merely a mistake." Public Menaced To refuse to care for the indigent can be a very grave mistake, Mr. Harkness pointed out, for poverty and sickness uncared for constitute a menace to the community in this age, and such mistakes are often of more gravity than individual sin. "What is a community?" the speak- er asked, "it is a group of people liv- ing and functioning in a given area in a given time. But to ask what Social Service is requires thought, and the more it is considered the more difficult it is to give an ans wer, "We know that has to deal with poverty, with those who lack the ne cessities of life, We know that so- cial service is concerned with 111 health, which includes the feeble minded; and that it is much inter- ested in behavior, particularly amongst the young. "In relation to the young, Social Service is a matter of character building and the searching question is whether we are building charac- ter up or down. "As to health, we know that there are some who know a great deal about health, but that it is not reaching the people; some know a great deal about poverty, but pov- erty is being deliberately treated in such a way as to encourage poverty." Mr, Harkness sees in the Children's Ald Society a great force for service. First, it is already id organized for efficient work on a county basis; its appeal i half of children meets with a did response from the publie; he sees that great local develop can be effected on the lires laid by President Schell in his add: The challenge to its service, h clared in conclusion, is to p the conditions which bring. neg ed children to its doors seeking ter; that-bring delinquent eh under its supervision. To this end, he recommended general way that the County of zations should appoint 'Wymen consultants in parent se x these officials would come married mothers for advice, €of and Christian sympathy so that innocent children might be give chance which circumstances deny them as at Montreal wh out of each 100 illegitimate ch born die within the first year But, in the larger sphere, Childhood Advisors would homes where advice on a hun problems are needed in these when parenthood is, to the po hazardous adventure. A warmly expressed vote of th was tendered to Mr, Harkness] President Schell at the close address. Miss Garrow delighted the ga ing prior to Mr. Harkness' adre singing "The Second Minuet," "Boy of Mine." These Lines?
