Of course it was an advertising venture from start to nish, and not a particularly cre(liuta.ble one at that. The lure in the case in question was Rudnolph Valentino. It was made to appear that the movie star would take. the Queen of Beauty under his wing, so to speak, and make a screen star of her. Of course, he did nothing of the sort, nor was it set down in the contract that he should. Only hinted at and that sort of thing. Just the stuff to `turn a young girl's head.

We had the pleasure also of listening to an address by Capt. Buckland, Provin- cial Inspector of Children's Shelters. Capt.

During the year just passed there have been as many as 27 children in the Shel- ber at one time. At present there are twenty-three to be clothed and cared for. In addition we have three babies who are too young to be looked after in the Shel- ter. These have been placed in homes and are maintained by the Society. We began the year with $535.45, and after complying with all requests from the matron we have on hand $1176-98` We would like to thank our efcient matron, Mrs. Averill, also the ladies of the Purchasing and House Committees.

J. Smith, Deputy Minister of Municipal Affairs. Public opinion is a very indenite `and often a very mysterious thing`. It permeates all humanity; it is the ultimate source of our social and political institutions. It , has been I termed : That mild yet potent spell, Stronger than beat of drums or stroke of sword. The things we do to control and direct it are the only ultimately ef- fective things in popular government. Public opinion more directly in- uences the government of the municipality than it does the govern- ment of either the nation or the province, as the municipal govern- ment more closely affects us in our daily lives. In order that the mun- icipal government may be respon- sible to the popular will and be dir- ected along; certain lines, public opinion in the municipality must be active. No matter how earnest or painstaking the councillors and oflicials of the municipality may be, no municipal government can pro- duce the best results unless the electors take a lively interest in the business of the municipality. There is undoubtedly a very widespread apathy among municipal electors. This is seen in the small attendance at annual municipal and school meetings, in the small vote register- ed at municipal elections; and in the sparse attendance at meetings called to discuss public affairs. require in our municilpallities is a deeper sense of civic patriotism. Lord Bryce has said that It is com- mon to talk of ignorance as the chief ` peril of democracy. It has, how- ever, another foe not less pernicious, that is-indolence. Indifference to public affairs shows itself not mere- ly in neglect to study them and t oneself to give a judicious vote, but in the apathy which does not care to give a vote when the time comes. One naturally seeks the reason for this lack of interest in public affairs. Among the reasons may be mention- ed the manifold distractions of the lay both social and business, the love of pleasure and amusement, and the mental indolence of many of our people. This lack of interest What we r Report of Women s Auxilmry, of endowed cots in the Shelter, medical re- port and some from Auxiliary Socicisy.

During the year we made 76 investiga- tions, in which 221 children were involved. Of these 18 were made wards of the So- ciety, and conditions improved for the re- mainder. 297 visits were made to differ- ent parts of the County, and 12,005 miles were travelled. We received 742 pieces of mail and sent out 1393. We placed 38 children in foster homes, and most of them are giving good satisfaction. Quite a number have been legally adopted. 268 visits were made to the children. `If.-. :\\ct\ nnn~0-nntlu nnnrlinn t\II\t\r<` 1-\r\vvIr\r~ ONLY A BABY By Margaret Holden Only a baby in a bondsman s home, In Egypt long ago; But that babe became a leader great, Who freed his race from a king s cruel hate, From slavery and woe.

You addition to the usual grant of the County Council our funds have been zuigrmented this year by a generous gift in the form of a leg'ac;y from the late George Ball, MEDICAL REPORT W. J. JUSTICE, Inspector. may also be due in some measure to the fact that the old system of direct control of the government by the people which prevailed in Anglo- Saxon times, has been succeeded by government through elected repre- sentatives. In the (lays of our A'nglo-Saxon forefathers the citizen governed directly through the folk- moot. Every man was required un- der penalty,to attend his folk-moot in order to discharge the respon- sibilities which attached to him as a member of the state. The folk- moot has been called the primordial cell of the Anglo-Saxon body politics. Green in his History of the Eng- lish People says: The talk of the village moo.`c...............is the ground-work of English history. The town - meeting in New England was a re- production of the folk-moot. Free- man, the historian, says: A New i En-gland town meeting` is essentially the same thing as - The town meeting plan of the local 1 . government prevailed the folk-moot. in the rural areas of the North-West Territories ` Iouitsidie of changed to local improvement dis- tricts---comprising as they area of one township each, were governed on the plan of the town meeting.

When popu- lations are small and interest in public matters is maintained, the town meeting affords opportunity for every citizen to participate more directly in the affairs of his town than does any other form, not only in casting his vote, but in the deli- berations and discussions which de- termine the policy. When popula- tion increases, however, and the de- velopment of the community com- plicates public business and more immediate supervision of sicials is required for grood government, the town meeting 1-fan becomes less re- sponsive and nmrc cumbersome and true of of pure democracy ' able to srtmte that our children have been free from communicable diseases during the year, though mumps, measles and other infectious diseases have been quite prevalent in- the town.

Why should the good people of this great County al- low on an average twenty children to be in the Shelter waiting for homes ? Many Societies do not have quarter o-f this num- ber.

MacLe11an, Disbursements Receipts soon loses its essentially democratic features. Populations may.` grow so that only a small proportion of the citizens can be accommodated in town halls. Such a condition lends itself readily to scheming politicians who desire to attain selsh ends. Representation has, however, sup- planted democracy and it is with conditions as We have them to-day that we must deal. Public opinion must not only be active; it must al- so be intelligent. Is public opinior. intelligent in matters ofmunicipal government and administration ? Is it not true that there is a widespread ignorance of the functions anal re- ` sponsibilities of municipal govern- ` men-t '? How. many electors, for ex- ample, fullyunderstand the purpose i and necessity of taxation? Is not i the lack of interest in public affairs ' due in a very large measure to want ' of intelligence`? What should be ` done to insure an active and intelli- gent public opinion`? Citizenship : should first of all be taught in our - public schools. It is not possible to , train our future citizens effectively unless it is done in the schools. L Lloyd George has said that The . race marclhes forward on the feet of little children. Not only the race, march forward on the feet of the rising generation. Our schools should impress upon the young` the - duties and obligartiions which they owe to the community and the state. Considerable progress along this line has been made in recent years by the study of civics in the schools, but I think much still remains to be done. John Dewey says the chief failure of our educational system is that it - does not develop puiblic minde'lness, but the community and the naon l a sense of our public duty and re- _ sponsibility. n ..L.....1..i 1.... +1.- ...:.m n-F mu. -.-nimnie ayuuaAuuw_y.
