has filled a need his latest book We Protect the Little Ones a history of Children Aid in Halton Nothing much In the way of a children history of Ho I Ion has appeared before which goes back to the first fumbling at tempts to protect children from a society which was often thoughtless and cruel to the underprivileged Mr book traces early beginnings of children aid societies and the philosophies which make them click He notes with some interest that It was Christian rather than humanist sentiments which sparked the movement to do some thing for children Kelso and Gibson who established the child welfare movement In Ontario felt Christian sentiments should be the primary requirement for those who want children It was this same movement which gave Impetus to welfare work generally The book notes the Social Service Council of Canada formed In drew its major backing from churches and related organizations For those of us born and raised In the parade of characters who fill the pages of this page book brings back many memories There are such disparate people as J M H Stewart G Frank Thompson and others touched on men who were widely respected and looked up to as paragons of Iron clad virtue in an age when it was admired widely W H Stewart was principal of Acton schools before becoming the second superintendent of Children s Aid in Milton a post be held from to his death in 1929 Each of these gentlemen could have a large volume written about them and only cover part of the difficulties they worked under when welfare was still a dirty word It seems there was a real need for It in of 1879 There was no place for orphans and dispossessed children io go except for the gaol jail gaol in Milton had more than its share In 1879 Committments increased from In 1877 to 341 the next year And this was when times were prosperous There was some minimal provision for children thenbutnotegislatlon Even the Imposition of compulsory education was stoutly resisted The first North American children aid society was formed in New York In by Rev C Bruce Despite the proximity of New York it was the British National Society for Prevention of Cruelty to Children which became he Ontario model In his book follows the natural progression of child help until he ingot the Halton Society February IBM at Milton where public inspector J Denyes was elected president Denyes is remembered fondly by many of the students who were inspected by him during his years as inspector Although crippled by Infantile paralysis he drove a car and was active in church welfare of children and in he community He presided over the CAS for 25 years and In 1D3S was unanimously elected president of the newly combined and Peel societies Mr s book traces the develop ment of children a old

relationship with Ihe CAS In Police Magistrate H P Moore of We protect the little ones a History oi Childrens Aid in Richard Ruggle Acton was designated the first Judge of the children court for Peel and resulting in a greater concentration on children s cases A family court for was in 1946 presided over by Kenneth La of Georgetown an outspoken judge who Inspired ire and often in his application of Law Mr notes there were times when the CAS and the legal system collided Relationships have always been finely balanced and they depended upon one another for Information and cooperation but sometimes the CAS balked when it appeared the custom was not respecting the confidentiality of then- clients Another interesting chapter Is the growth of adoption services with Halton having an unusually large number of families wishing to adopt children It is noted that the early 1970s the number of children available for adoption began to diminish In part due to the number of abortions Increasing use of birth control pills and devices and the desire of un married mothers to keep their children By 1973 there was a two year waiting list for adoptions although Pro Life suggested the CAS might better provide protection before birth The irony of the situation does not escape Mr Ruggle The author of this fine history has been incumbent for the parishes of St Glen Williams St Paul for several years He embarked on this project in his spare time and it took the better part of two years He has served on the board of the Children Aid Society for a year and was persuaded this work
