Carter, was also received and adopted. The Seeretary's report was as pleas- in.ras the financial statement. It showed a fine record of work accom- plished for the first year of the life of the Branch. The very nature of the work makes it impossible to give details of all the activities of the C.A. S. The C.A.S. is active in any and every way that will benefit children and assure every child a fair chance for good citizenship and the better things of life. Publicity in regard to many cases would defeat the very pur- poses at which the Society. is aiming. However, some of the activities of the Branch require and deserve publi- city. The Secretary 's report for in- stance, showed that, during the year a drive for members had resulted in 400 being enrolled as members. The fol- lowing special cases were also dealt with by the Branch '.----1 operation on girl with eye ulcer; 3 cases children roaming streets; 2 eases of unsatis- factory home conditions where there were children; 2 families in distress- ed circumstances; 1 boy convicted of stealing placed on probation with a local clergyman who is a member of the executive of the Braneh. Other cases were investigated and action taken or advice or help given.

He also touched upon the purposes of the GAS. and expressed appreciation for the publicity given at various times by The Advance to the aims and objects of the C.A.S. Despite all the publi- city, however, he said there were still some people who misundersriod the aims and purposes of the Children', Aid. They thought the Society “work- ed with the police,” and "took child- ren from their homes" and so on. The OAS. did not work for the punish- ment of anyone, except so far as con'- ditions might force attention. The whole purpose of the C.A.S. was to assure for every child a fair chance for health, education, decent sur- roundings and a chance in life. No child was ever taken from a home if it could at all be avoided. The following ochrs were unani- mously elected for thtrensuing year: President-Mr. C. G. Williams. 1rieeuPresidents--Mrs. E. L. Long- more, Timmins; Mrs. Herman, South Porcupine. Mr. ll. LeHeup, of Haileybury, C. Ass. Inspedtor for Temiskaming Dis- trict, was present at the meeting and gave a very interesting talk on the Seeretary-Treasurer--Nrs. R. J. Ennis, Sehumaeher. Auditor-Mr. C. S. Carter. On motion, it was decided (o leave the selection of the twelve members of the executive to the officers above named, so that those selected may re- present all parts of the Porcupine.
