The following is the report for the past year of the District of Cochrane Children‘s Aid Society, as submitted to the annual meeting of the Society last week by the local superintendent, A. G. Carson :â€" § To the President and Members of the society : District of Cochrane Children‘s Aid Society Work for Year Reviewed Ladies and Gentlemen:â€"That the thousands of men and women in our prisons were once little children is a truth so obvious that it may seem abâ€" surd to mention it. Perhaps it is too obvious, for so few people seem to grasp the significance of it all Of course it is impossible to tell how many lifeâ€"tragedies might have been averted, had they been given a fair chance as children. Even in these days, thouâ€" sands of little children spend their earliest years under conditions which make it appear almost a miracle if they grow up honest, sober and capable of making a living.. The Children‘s Aid, society, with the help of those who appreciate the value of childâ€"life, moral and spiritual as well as physical, stand for the protection and upâ€"lift of those helpless children in danger of becomâ€" ing the prison, or slum population of the next generation. It stands for more than that. It cares for the child in jJeopardy because of the inability of its own parents to bring it up right. It would amaze most people to know of the appeals for help the Society reâ€" ceives on behalf of children "beyond control", or victims of bad habits, which those responsible are unable to check. It is a fact that there Are many parents who are incompetent and should not have the care of children. It would not only be unjust but foolish to refuse help to such children. The Children‘s Aid Society prides itself on being remarkably comprehensive and free from redâ€"tape.. There is no quesâ€" tion of class, creed, parentage, or anyâ€" thing else but need â€" Each case is dealt with entirely on its own merits and with a minimum of delay. At the same time whilst helping the children, care is taken to avoid relieving the parents of their responsibility. As to the methods of dealing with cases, there is much variety; children and their needs differ so much that different methods of meeting those nceeds have to be emâ€" ployed. The Society works, not in comâ€" petition, but in coâ€"operation with other Sociecties and Childâ€"Welfare organizaâ€" tions. Hundreds of Children Helped During the Past Year. Juâ€" venile Court Work a Feature of C. A. 8. Effort. Numâ€" ber of Improvements Made at Children‘s Aid Shelter for the District. Protection At the beginning of the year there were 64 cases open and 111 new cases were received during the year. At the end of the twelveâ€"month period 113 cases had been closed leaving 62 cases open. There were 143 children involved. 356 office interviews and 320 visits ade. In all we attended 36 court cases, 7 children being made permanent wards and 6 being made temporary wards for 1 year, 1 previous temporary wardship extended one year. A review of 11 cases showed that the difficulties which developed were due to illness of parents, separation of parâ€" ents, moral neglect, physical neglect, delinquency of children, drunkenness, marital discord and desertion. In every instance the aim of the Society is to build up the home and remove the cause for ineglect, rather than to reâ€" move the child. The saving in actual dollars to the municipalitiese by this constructive work of the Society is stuâ€" pendous, since each child committed by the court to the Children‘s Aid Society is a jpotential liability to the taxpayers. ' Unmarried Parent‘s Act The administration of this Act deâ€" mands a great deal of time and attenâ€" tion especially when the parties live in rempte parts of the district. In all cases an effort is made to contact the putative father and make him responsâ€" ible for the maintenance of the child. At the beginning of the year we had 31 cases and 45 were opened during the following twelve months, 38 cases were closed, leaving 38 to be carried over to this year. To properly enforce the Act in this district would require ‘the full time of one worker. Juvenile Court This year there has been a slight i: crease in the number of juveniles be fore th2 court: 109 boys and 1 gi were charged and 12 boys and 1 g1 were committed to Training Schoo 20 were dismissed and 77 placed C parole for periods ranging from months to 1 year. As in the past t Juvenile Court Committees of Tin mins and Tisdale Township have be of great assistance in investigating t] cases and supervising the boys whi on paroie. The different police orgar izations have also shown the usual i terest and coâ€"operation in dealing wi juveniles. A summary of all the work the following facts: 1,308 fiel 1,.215 office interviews, 23,00 travelled, 1,252 letters recelv 1,809 sent out. These figures hnte size of our work work in tangible form. During the past year, the shelter has been handicapped by not having a permanent matron and has conseâ€" quently been run largely on an emerâ€" gency basis. Following the loss of Mrs. Condie, the shelter was for a number of months entirely without a full time matron. In the middle of June, Mrs. E. Burnett, formerly of the Hamilton Children‘s Aid Societyl, was appointed, but owing to il!l health was able to reâ€" main only three months. Foliowing this we were again without a matron for some time but in December were fortunate to be able to secure Mrs, H Second Section The Shelter ormerly of the Hamiiton i Societyl, was appointed, ill health was able to reâ€" ree months.
