Sarjeant, the president, occupied the chair and gave an out- line of the work carired on during` the year. A peasing feature was the increased interest taken by the citizens of the County and by the County Council. The work of the Women's Auxiliary was most com- mendable, but the real success[ achieved during the year was main-` l_v due to the work of the Inspector`, Mr. W. J. Justice.

The various reports, as found on another page of this issue, were pre- sented and adopted. The president pointed out that salaries amournting to $2542.00 were paid out, while only $1500.00 grant was received from the County. The County, however, pay $3.00 per week for the maintenance of each child. Throu{;h the generosity of citizens in supply- ing` food, etc., the Board has been able to meet all expenditures` and there is a balance on hand at the close of the year. \Taovi<+vs:fn .Tnf`c nail] 11:2 '.ll'IY\I`{J"i:11 - C1058 OI INC )'C}ll'. I Magistrate Jeffs said he appre:i:.Lt- ed the work that is being` done by the Board, and particulanly by the Inspector. In his present judicial work he comes in very close contact with Mr. Justice and his work. Much of it is sordid and unpleasant, yet the Inspector keeps going with 21 cheerfirl smile, The County isi supporting four institutions to a certain extent, the House of Refuge, the Gaol, the Hospitals, and the Children s Shelter. The money spent on the children is, perhaps, the best spent, because if the children are looked afrtexr and given a fair chance there will be fewer in the other in- stitutions in the years to come.

Warden Coombs said he was in the County Council when the build-. in_u' for the Shelter was purchasc-d, and he considered it as among` the best assets of the County. There is no asset that we should be as proud of as our boys and girls. The War- den said that he had always taken an interest in trying` to help the boys and 5,-`i1-ls and it would give him more joy than anything else to know thwt he had been the means of helping` some boy or girl in some way. He had known Mr. Justice for! several years and appreciated the n-nml \um'k hp vvzm rlnino .\'(V(.`]"dl _VCE1l'S 2lI1(l }.L[)I)1'L`Cl2lI.(3(l [HP 3.-'oo work he was doing. His Honor Juclge Vance said he \\ zL.\' in very close touch with the \\ urk of the Society , and particularly with the work that Mr. Justice is doing, and the more he came in touch with Mr. Justice the more he appreciated his worth. There was no betti,-r official in the Province of On-tzirio to-day. His Honor .sai(l he would like to 500 Mr. Justice get a bt.-.tit-r sa1ar_\', as ho was not gretting zm_\'thing: like he should get for the |\x/ork he was cl-oinrg. The County `Council hesitated to spend money luntil it was found it was absolutely needful. The Councillors are seeing that the work is need.i'ul and neces- . sary and Uhere is not so much .o-p- position. It is recognized in a.=ll civilized countries that money spent ; in the welfare of children is the best expendilture of funds. It has `been 1 rpnoven time and again that it is right than to keep them later as criminals. If a child is properly fed, clothed and educated he is less like- . ly to turn out a criminal. 80 per cent. of the criminals in the world are under 25 years of age, and a large percentage of these were not properly looked after in childhood days. His Honor was gslad that the . County Council was doing so well for the Shelter, but he often thought they might do better, and support the Shelter entirely. He would like to see the necessity of tag days and better to bring up boys and glls 'beg'g'inwg' for the Shelter done away ` lwith, and he hoped the County Council would consider the matter. -One otlhe-r point His Honor stressed was that those who have no children of their own should adopt one orl more from the Shel-. :er. There are` children in the Shelter now that would bless any home, and he was speaking from experience when he -said that you can take a child and think as much of it as if it were your very own. It should be the aim of all to try and find good -homes for those children. I In presenting his report Mr. Jus- tice, the Inspector, said he was deep- ly touched with the kind thing,-'3 that had been said about him. He was not in the work for any selsh ends. It was his love for the Cl1ll(ll`|:."l and the knowledge that he was doing something` to help them that con-I cerned him most. There could be no higher rerward than in the {zet- rting of the full condence of those boys and girls. 1 A lmr'.n`p frnmpll nl1nrf.n nf the late.
