So should every unfor- tunate child. We should care for them because they are the children of our own race; because of their nossibilities and also because of a dread of what they may become if they are not cared for.

Child welfare work has also a n- In these days when] the country is shocked by the wrong- 3 - doing of many men in positions of} trust, the necessity-of early training being laid on rm foundations is very apparent. The boys should be so trained in morals and right thinking that when they grow to occupy places of authority there will be no scandgsls. Kiwanians could be engaged in no better work than in teaching boys to be clean and honorable from the very depths. In Australia the system of caring for neglected children is much more costly than here. In Ontario the expense is comparatively. light. There are sixty men or women who are doing work such as is done by W. J. Justice in Simcoe County. The ev- pense is `not great because the child- ren are mostly placed in foster homes where they cost the province or the municipalities nothing. Giving all due credit to service clubs, there is a eld of work they cannot cover and that is covered by the Children's Aid - Society. In its work for neglected children this Society has the hearty ; support of not.onIy the officers of the 4 law but of the Since .1911, for example, the Well- people of Ontario.- . ington Society had cared for 701 ne- " glected children for periods of from ten days to three or four years. was easy to see where the Children's Aid Society had been saving the Pro- vince of Ontario thousands of dollars annuallv. i `ll. fI'V-,---I1 J__1L `I,,,- or --I -I I It] R~3DAY,"MARC!-l 1D, M 'vell,' makes a three-fold appeal.

Canadiansshould be marked by pat- riotism; they should rejoice in being citizens of this great Dominion. It will be still. undeveloped when the present generation has passed on. Are we going to have posterity which will rightly manage this great her- itage? What of the boys and girls? Would it not be well for the womenl to do for the girls what the men of the service clubs are doing for the boys? Lack of proper trainin has been responsible for many of th dis- ' couragements regarding children met. s with today. Even among girls. drink- ing and cigarette smoking have be- come deplorably common. If such, practices are indulged in by the fu-[ ture mothers, people may well be con- cerned as to the posterity which shall look after our great Canadian her- i itage. - V (`LHA uni!-'.-...... .......'l. 1...... -1..- _ c__ while in this life do something to benet the children, said A. J. To- vel_l of Guelph, Inspector of the Children s Aid Society for Wellington , County, in addressing the Barrie Ki- wanis Club last Friday. This is the children s age, he continued, and while there are many instances in large cities of juvenile depravity, this is on the whole the best age for child- ren we have seen. Advantages Children Enjoy There are. many `advantages the children of today enjoy that were not available to their forefathers, said the speaker. One of these is improv- ed schools. Mr. Tovell said he could fremember the elation of the people when free schools were secured. Who can estimate what such a system means to the children of this coun- try? Then therea_re linked with these thelsecondary schools and colleges, making a system that is unexcelled. Another great factor, running par- allel with the public schools, is the Sunday School-the religious instruc- tion given the children. The child who does not have education on both lsecular and religious lines is an un- derprivileged child, declared Mr. Tovell. Any child is underprivileg- ed who does not enjoy the average privileges of the community in which he lives. In thinking of child wel- fare work, always think of those be- low the average. ~I-f you wish to do something wort A. J.
