THE OSHAWA DAILY TIMES, SATURDAY, FEBRUARY 15, 1930. i Millions Expen ded on. Child Welfare in Canada But Public Apathetic to Re- ~ sults Obtained Says Char. lotte Whitton, Child Wel- . fare Secretary Ottawa, Feb. "15. -- Canadians are spending scores of millions an- "nually on all forms of social relief and welfare disbursements and pay- ing httle or no attention to the re- sults being obtained from such out- pouring of private, and public funds, iss Charlotte Whitton, executive + secretary of the Canadian Council on Child Welrare, stated on her return from geceat conferences with mem- "bers of th. Council's Advisory Fin- ance Committee in Toronto - and Montreal. The Dominion Governmefit is spending millions annually on pen- sions and welfare services to veter- i ans but these outlays are by way of pension, except for some hundreds of thousands jin relief. The Patriot: * Fund is still disbursing huge amounts annually, bu: these are all direct . payments incurred by reason of war- I ministration being followed with drives of all oo of private agen- cies, without the least inquiry as to whether conditicws were actually mm- proving, child 'neglect increasing or diminishing, or antiquated or modern niethads of care and principles of ad the exception of a few cities where Bud- get Committees of Financial Federa- tions were giving adequate trustee- ship, or agencies were working to- wards some definite plan, * There were some municipalities and private agencies in 'Canada ex- pending huge sums of money anuu- ally, Miss Whittore went on, who were employing methods of adminis- tration that would make Dickens turn in his grave, and adding dir- ectly to the continuance and increase of our volumes of dependency and social inefficiency. If the Fire De- partment or Public Works Depart- ment made a costly mistake there was a public scandal, but when pub- lic or private agencies made a failure in handling their social problems and these inereased or recurred; there was only too often little interest or concern and some were actually giv- en more funds to spend. Miss Whitton was emphatic, how- supported with the same generosity as the agen that conscientiously did 'a good 'job, improved its tech 'nique and tried to measure and prove its results, The percentage of successful cases sometimes claimed could not possibly be proved and would be liable to prosecution, if the same extravagance characterized their financial as their social welfare claims. The Welfare Child for 10 Canadian Council on had been « trying child care accepted across the coun- try by agencies caring for children, and has been trying to educate the public to demand these standards and to demand results for the expendi- ture of public and private funds, "But you 'can get'a man to give das icin os 4 accurate and extravagant claims was years to get minimum standards of) you $5,000 fof an Orphans' Home far! more quickly and. easily than you can get him to give $50 to pay for an enquiry as to whether it is need- ed," said Miss Whitton, : "People will give you $100 with their blessing. to care for children in an institution, but do not like to give vou $10 to support an agehcv whose sole work is service in building up families and keeping children out of institutions. Yet, believe, the whole value of public and private philanthropy lies in the extent to which it is effective in helping peo- ple to help themselves, not in solv: ing their problems for them, or re- lieving them of them altogether," The Child Welfare Council has ex- nanded its work, at the request of the family welfare acencies across Canada to embrace this whole ficld and now becomes the Canadian Council on Child and Family Wel- fare. It will continue to give scr- vice of all kinds in the child wcl- fare field, but will particularly en- deavor fo obtain the acceptance of improved standards of family and child welfare services across the Do- minion, and to place insistance on a social programme that provides ac- tual service rather than mere mate- rial relief alone to all' in need. It definitely aims at the widespread de- velopment of a 'more intelligent and practical interest in the Canadian so- cial welfare problems that will lead the taxpaying and giving public to demand and measure results in ac- tual human betterment for the mil- lions that ate now being spent an. nually of welfare worle, In Montreal and Toronto confer- ences have just concluded with Council representatives on the Fin- ance and executive committees.
