remaining argument against family allowances are 1 it favors french canada this measure fixe four as a standard family in canada and when the family is larger than four the monthly rates per child drop sharp ly in a large family of 15 children the last five children are only paid ga each and the next three simply 93 each from these figures it will be seen that the large famlluia are not a well treated as the small families so the chnrre that the bill favors french canada has no foundation 2 the benefit will not reach the children most parents love their children dearly and do without things themselves rather than have their children suffer provision is made in the hill that the allowances will be cut off where the money is wasted in ontario the payments are to be made to the mother i do not know anyone who could be better trusted to handle this money wisely erin ospringe the many friends of mrs t nelson former teacher here will be sorry to learn that she received word that her
