us that in prance people became interested in children born out of wedlock owing to their decomposed bodies polluting the water supply from the river seine let us turn from tbls almost incre dible paragraph in the social history of iwwihrwf to the feelings and mo tives that inspired the implementing of the finest piece of legislation any where in the world to protect the child the last article told something of the campaaslon that touched the heart of a reporter ori the old toronto globe at the suffering and depravity to be found among little children begging selling newspapers and shoe laces in toronto no one could hare been in a better position to see this agonizing sordid side of life than a newspaper mant these children often sought shelter at night around the stove in the reporters room4bey lived in the side streets and alleyways of down town toronto they were to be found dally in the police courts what do we find this newspaperman mr j j kelso saying when attempt in to found the first children s aid society in canada in 1b01 he was asked why another society because replied mr kelso up to the p we have ao society to look after neglected children l three years before mr kelso and a little group he had gathered around him had succeeded in obtaining from the ontario government a piece of legislation very meagre in its scope but the seed of what was to follow it stated that negleced children under fourteen please note that could be committed to any society or lnstttu tion willing o receive them and au thorized by government and for a special commission to try youthful of fenders apart from adults a shelter was established as a tern porary refuge for destituted and neg lected children in 1890 the follow ing year the torontos children s aid society was founded in 1893 the foun datlon stone of all that we have today in ontario for child protection was laid when hon john gibson later sir john gibson provincial secretary introduced the children s protection act from this act with subsequent a mendments and additions over the past half century has stemmed tn vigorous and beautiful growth the whole ef fort and unrtiirtalrvrut rmvrr by statute but given its life and spirit communities of people fa known as chlldrens aidl let us never forget j j kelso and sir john gibson from an acorn of in dividual compassion and pertinacity great oak tree that shelters the children who have no normal roof tree of their own let us see with what vision these foundations were laid i it is especial ly interesting to note that the original intentions embodied in sir john gib sons act coxresponds exactly with the most enlightened attitude today in re gard to what is the best the most normal and most successful way of caring for boys and girls deprived of their lay all over voluntary admlnlsffatton the volun tary working in local communities should be a principle to be adopted have always felt that this should be allowed to become an ordinary governmental department of adminis trationthat it should bo the result of philanthropic efforts in localities that the work should be carried on for the love of the work by the good men and women in the various communi ties where the act is being applied this was designed to be and has steadily become a unique service to the children legislated for and pro tected by government but kept a br ing breathing human organization by the people in the community your children a aid society to be continued 1 rd mr f m ri ru t mr d mr w la 1 m tod morrow d m bob lane an 1 tl 1 t h r of mix d c
