A splendid report on the work of | {the goclety diring the year, featured {the annual meeting of the Kingston | and Frontenac Children's Aid = So- | clety, which was held in the city {council chamber on, Thursday after- moon, The report was submitted by | the agent, John Polke. and the latter | was warmly praised by the members | present for his good work. Mr. Pollie [took occasion to thank. the many | citizens who have assisted him in every way to carry on his duties. Everything showed that the work of the_soclety is being ably conducted, [and all concerned are to be congratu- lated. Dr. A. W, Richardson was e-clected president. He was anable to be present at thé meeting, and Mayor Newman was voted to the ghajy, A Officers were "elected for the county and the city and are ag fol- | lows: For the city---President, Dr. A.

Welch, 8, T. Lilley, 8. R. Bailey and W. H. Graham. The same officers were elected for the county, with the following as members of the executive: J. W, Bradshaw, Capt. Smith, William Murray and the warden of the county. On motion of Willlam Murray, a hearty vote of thanks was tendered to the agent, Mr. Pollie, for his work, and all the members agreed with Mr. Murray when the latter remarked that he had always been "on the Job." Mr, Pollie has carried on his work in a systemati¢ manner, and it is chiefly to his untiring efforts that every ward of the soelety has been placed ip a good foster home. Mayor Newman also had warm | praise for Mr, Pollie, pointing out | that the placing of the wards in good | foster. homes had been the means of saving much money for the city. In years past the society had been un- der a heavy expense in the care of its wards. The report of Mr. Pollie showed that during the year five children were committed to the Kingston so- ciety, one being returned to parents and four being placed in good foster homes. Nine wards were released ! } | { tpfrom supervision for the following reasons: Request of Kingston society, 1; majority, 3; removed to England, 3; married; 1; died, 1. Four girls were committed during the year, and the same number released. One boy was committed and five Were re- leased. The total number of wards at présent is 117. There are 59 girls and 58 boys. Twenty-nine of the wards are placed with their par- ents, the dln, with the exception of one gif, at St. Mary's Orphanage, are in foster homes. Twenty-two juvenile offénders ap- peared before the judge of the juven- ile court, J. M. Farrell, during the year, on charges of theft, destruction trespass- Of this number, a girl of fifteen, was returned to her home at Ottawa. Two, a boy of fourteen and i a girl of thirteen, were committed fo the Vietoria and Alexandria Schools respectively. Seven boys were whip- ped, the parents consenting. Two were discharged upon promising to defray the cost of restoring damaged property to its original = condition. Two were given suspended sentence and eight dismissed with a warning.

"I am of the opinion, and submit it for your consideration, that much friction between municipalities would be avoided if Children's Aid ~{officers throughout the province were given to understand that when children are apprehended under the Children's Protection Act, such ¢hild- | ren, if non-residents, must be re- turned to the municipality" liable for thelr maintenance to be dealt with. "If must prove disheartening to an officer who, by adopting prevent ive measures, succeeds in his efforts towards avoiding committals and | keeping apparently hopeless homes intact, to be called upon to find fost- er homes for wards of another so- ciety, whose agent apparently does not realize that breaking up even the poorest of homes is a serious matter, and should be considered only when every other possible re- medy has failed." The treasurer of the society, O. V. Bartels, submitted a report, which was regarded as most satisfactory. RARE TREAT AT THE GRAND HAWAITAN SINGERS AND DAN- CUERS DELIGHT AUDIENCE "Broken Blossoms," a Masterpiece by D. W, Griffith Was Given With Telling Effect--The Bill to be Re- peated To-night and Saturday, There is a rare treat in store for the patrons of the Grand Opera the remedy would be | House for the balance of this week. There are two big features, a clever | company of Hawaiian singers, play- | gers and dancers, and in addition to | this is given D. W. Griffith's latest | production, "Broken Blossoms," which holds intense interest from | start to finish. It is from a story of "Limehouge Nights" by Thomas Burke. The advance notices referr- | ing to it as one of the most beautiful | yet tragic love stories ever filmed, | hit the nail on the head, for it cer- | tainly is, and the big audience on |} Thursday night was given much to | think over. 'The company of Hawaiian enter-| tainers is composed of five; four men and one lady, and they were shower- ed with applause by the audience and compelled to respond to many encores. The music is of the sweet catchy variety, and the programme of the very best of its kind yet. put i an at the Grand. These entertainers get all that one : can possibly 'get out of their string instruments, and it is the sweetest music of the day. Their singing and dancing calls for special mention tool One cannot get too much of a good thing, and so it was that this clever company of entertainers was kept very busy from their first appearance until the end. As an openér, there was a very amusing film with the ever-popular Fatty Arbuckle as The Cop, and all through the piece the fun was fast and furious. With the big picture, "Broken Blossoms," the Hawaiian entertain- ers and Fatty Arbuckle it is certain ly a big night at the Grand so let everybody go. The bill will be re- peated tonightwnd on Saturday. UNION CLUB BANQUET. Sydenham Street Methodist Church Hall Thursday Evening.
