now we hear of jacob slttler of st jacobs who found a hen s egg with a perfect raised capital b on the shell the facts concerning british child guests with the question of placing british child guests appermost in the minds of many readers perhaps a review ol the situation will clarify impressions which are tending to become confused in the many articles appearing in the dally press the movement is under the auspices of the dominion government which has delegated to the provinces the responsibility of finding suitable homes for the children and seeing that the children are properly cared lor during their stay in these homes the department of public welfare is carrying out his program in ontario working through the children a aw society this does not mean that the government does not want other organizations to pla their part in the scheme such co operation is needed and desired however these oiganizations must work under the children s aid society persons wishing to take children into their home should communl ate with the superintendent of the nearest children s aid society f g thompson of milton for georgetown district an application form is then filled out and a representative of the society calls at the home to ascertain circumstances and environment ir all case persons volun leering homes are asked to indicate their preference and a child as nearly as possible answering

and costs will be borne by the government the government plan does not apply tc children whose transports hon and expenses are being paid by their parents and who will visit relatives in canada neither does it apply to the movement of entire schools which are locating in canada however if the parents want the children to be with relatives and cannot afford payment for their pass age every effort will to made to see that they are sent to these relatives finally the plan involves only children from five to sixteen years of age and only in very special circumstances will the program
