Fireproof Wal For Sale By Thirtyâ€"fifth Annual Report Ontario Children‘s Aid Work The thirtyâ€"fifth annual report of Mr. J. J. Kelso, superintendent of Children‘s Aid Societies in Ontario, has been received by The Advance, and contains much of general interest. The report covers a wide field, dealing with the Children‘s Aid Work, the Childâ€" ren‘s Protection Act, the Adoption Act, and the Unmarried Parents‘ Act. "In presenting this, the thirtyâ€"fifth annual report of the Children‘s Aid Branch," says Mr. Kelso, "it is a pleasâ€" ure to observe that the good work done by the Children‘s Aid Societies of Onâ€" tario is yearly becoming better known and understocd, and consequently is meeting with greater recognition and appreciation. Through the frequent meetings, publicity given to proceedâ€" ings, correspondence of officials, inforâ€" mation conveyed by members, etc., siâ€" lent influences for good are steadily perâ€" meating society even to the furtherâ€" most limits of our farâ€"flung province, and the general result in undoubtedly to be found in a better social atmosâ€" phere and greater happiness in home life.

Our local committees and Children‘s Aid superintendents are the preventive and healing agencies conâ€" stantly at work, and the hundreds of letters and reports that daily pass over this desk bear striking testimony to what is being accomplished. Auxiliary commissions and welfare organizations are also doing their part to improve social conditions, and, altogether it can truthfully be said that Ontario is, as it always has been a leader in social welâ€" fare and progress." Mr. Kelso proceeds e point out that the very success of the work constitutes a danger that should be guarded against. Municipal councils have givâ€" en such generous support, knowing the: value of the work, that there is a tondâ€" ency to the lessening of private interâ€" est and benevolence in the matter. The work depends so much for its real success on the maintenance of the inâ€" dividual interest of good citizens in each locality that this feature should not be overlooked. Also, the supcerinâ€" tendent, asks for the guarding against any tendency to allow parents and reâ€" latives to escape from the responsibiliâ€" ties that rest upon them. The home is the best place for a child, even theugh there be poverty there. In concluding this part of his report, Mr. Kelso says: "For these and other palpable reasons it will be agreed by all thoughtful readers that our first duty is to mainâ€" tain the home, removing whatever difâ€" ficulties and disadvantages may exist so that parents and children may grow up happily together, each a. comfort and support to the other. Only in this way can the best interests of the whole community be protected and safeguardâ€" ed." Statistics of the work are also very interesting. During the year 1928 there were 706 children made permanâ€" ent wards of the Children‘s Aid Societies by court order. The total number of children who have been placed in the permanent care of societies since the inception of the work is 27,949. Thore are nearly 9,000 now under supervision. The average number of children made wards each year for the past six years is 790. Each year a number of childâ€" ren are made temporary wards for a period of from three months to a year. There were 283 temporary wards comâ€" mitted to the societies of the province last year. Of the 706 wards in 1928, there were 547 Protestant children and 159 Roman Catholic children. There were 368 boys and 338 girls, The ages of the wards for 1928 were as follows:â€" under 3 years, 71; between 3 ard 7 _years, 93; between 7 and 11 years, 94; between 11 and 14 years, 61; between THE PORCUPINE ADBVANCE, TIMMINS, ONTARIO 14 and 16 years, 49. The reasons for commitment of the children are given as follows:â€" neglect, 236; desertion of father, 91; father in prison, 82; born out of wedlock, 123; theft or delinauenâ€" cy, 18; truancy, 12; immorality of parâ€" ents, 49; parents separated, 17; orphans, 27; no means of support, 51. Wards released from supervision during the year, 720. Wards visited during the year, 5,791. In reference to the Roman Catholic wards, Mr. Kelâ€" so‘s report says:â€"*"The supervision of these children is in the hands of Mr. William O‘Connor, who has for many years now been a most able and effiâ€" cient assistant." "The annual reports of the fiftyâ€"five| Children‘s Aid Societies, as well as the daily correspondence with active workâ€" ers, indicate a high degree of organized ‘ public service," says Mr. Kelso. "In. every country and in every district, however remote, there is the necessary machinery for prompt action, and our various local superintendents accompâ€" lish most praiseworthy results." A list of the Children‘s Aid Societies in Onâ€" tario is given with officers for 1929. Among the North Land societies noted are:â€"Algoma and Sault Ste. Marie, J. A. Hussey, president; J. P. Reed, secreâ€" tary and inspector. Cochrane Disâ€" trict, G. A. Macdonald, Timmins preâ€" sident; A. G. Carson, secretary and inâ€" spector. Nipissing, A. Jackman, presiâ€" dent; Chas. F. Browne, secretary; Jorn Brown, inspector. Sudbury, Mrs. R. R. McKessock, president; Mrs. M. E. Mcâ€" Fadden, secretary; W. Greenwood, inâ€" spector. Temiskaming, G. T. Hamilâ€" ton president; J. R. McCracken, secreâ€" tary and inspector. Referring to preventive work, Mr. Kelso says:â€"*"One of the many imâ€" portant duties of the Society is to check the development of conditions that are likely to lead to child wastage. This most interesting and necessary work impels one to believe that if a child is to be saved to the State, his early life must be guided into the proper chanâ€" nel so he may grow up into manhood with a true conception of his value to the community. To accompilish this the home must be adjusted to meet the condition required of good citizenship. The future of the country largely deâ€" pends on the training of the youth, and home surroundings either make or break him. The burly parent whose speech is worse than Billingsgate and whose actions are so degraded and low invariably impresses the child, and his susceptibility imbues him wmth the thought that what the father does is quite proper for the son to adopt as his standard of life. To change the child‘s _mode of living is a difficult matter as he is a natural imitator and it takes ! much time and arduous work before he lcan be raised up from a low standard to a higher plane of life. The question arises, "How can the child be saved ifrom these sordid conditions? Timely | intervention of the Children‘s Aid offâ€" | cer, is most instances, has the effect of ‘ adjusting the home. Trained by exâ€" i perience he is able to counsel and adâ€" vise the parents, pointing out to them !their responsibility and showing them i the proper way to care for their childâ€" i ren. This work is of great value to the community as it places the responsiâ€" l bility on the parents, who, unless they are of the degenerate or mental type, will rise equal to the occasion and make the home a fit and proper place for the upbringing of their offspring. lThousands of homes have been intact through the wisdom of the officer and t the child‘s future life safeguarded." mm sn mm smm Mr. Kelso answers the question, "Do wards of the Society make good?" by an emphatic Yes! "The percentage is on a par with all other children, and it the foster parents can give them the benefit of a good education, they will |\ often make a greater success of life | than those who have always been enâ€" ijoying the comforts of a good hcme. | It is not to be expected that out of the | great number made wards that all will | succeed, but with few exceptions it can be said that they have become gocd | citizens and justified the motto, "Betâ€" lter to save the child than reform criâ€" fmmals * Under the heading of "Family Deâ€" serters," the report contains the folâ€" lowing paragraph that deserves the widest publicity and the fullest conâ€" sideration:â€"*"Probably more than any other cause, family desertion on the part of the father leads to children beâ€" ing committed to the Society or to a reform school. We are too easy with these offenders. The chief difficulty in securing remedial action is the expense involved in locating and bringing back these men, and to meet this it would be advisable to set aside a fund for this special purpose. One man whose three children were supported at public exâ€" pense in an Ontario orphanage, was found to be earning ten dollars per day across the border, and it seemed no one‘s business to follow him up. Many similar cases exist where men could and would pay if they knew they could not escape. This is a point where greater watchfuiness should« be mainâ€" tained." There are good words for vocational training, the advantages of country life, and other matters of interest in connection with child welfare work. There are also chapters on legal adoptions and on the Children of Unâ€" married Parents‘ Act. Under the latâ€" ter act, there were 1,865 cases dealt with in 1928 in the province. Of these, 208 were what may be termed "repeatâ€" ers." From July ist, 1921, to Oct. 3!st, 1928, there were 9,782 cases dealt with. A total of has been disbursâ€" ed in that period, this money being received in the main part from the fathers of the children. In concluding his report, Mr. Kelso says:â€""It has been our aim to carry on this work for children without unduly disturbing the family relationship. While at the moment there may be a serious upset, time with its healing and soothing influence may be counted on] to bring about the desired improvement and life may even be enriched by the | temporary trouble or disagreement in the home. The sacredness of the faâ€". mily ties has been constantly emphasâ€" ized, and the duty and responsibility of parents pointed out. It is no part of our work to relieve parents of their childrenâ€"nor would it be to their inâ€" terest to encourage such a policy. All we can reasonably be expected to do is to safeguard the home and encourage 'parent,s to be faithful to their trust. There are, of course, conditions that cannot be readily adujsted and where only decisive measures prevail, but the patient and hopeful worker can often find a way out that will be the ultiâ€" mate good of all parties Love and sympathy can do more for the alleviaâ€" tion of ills than can ever be hoped for through severity or legal restraint. It is in this faith and spirit that we have striven to serve." stratford Beaconâ€"Herald:â€"We have the habit of spending our moncy in United States no matter how hard they hit us in return. They never stage Canadian weeks in United States citâ€" ies; they never try to encourage their people to find out just how many things we have for saleâ€"but they did that in Glasgow. And they are doing the same thing in other parts of the British Empire. Isn‘t it about time we woke up to the fact that we would be well advised to spend our dollars where people are friendly toward our gnods, and willing to do business with us on the basis of buying and selling on fair terms with the fewest possible barriers in between?
