"The Children of Unmarried Par- ents" was the subject of a most in- jteresting address by WHHam Black, inspector of the Children's Aid So- ciety, before the Kiwanis Chub, at the weckly luncheon in the Fronte- nac hotel on Monday. Mr. Black was introduced by Pre- gident H. C. Nickle and he reviewed the work of the Kingston branch of the Society, and gave figures for the province that were startling. The extent of the prevalence 6f illegiti- macy has only been revealed since [1212 when the total registered under !cne year of age was found to be 10,- 784. This number has increased by 2,000 per year, and the infants' homes shelter them up to three years jof age. If kept up to twelve years i] [there would be 24,000, and it up to |] [sixteen years, the age fixed by law, there would be 32,000 if all were | |f | living. The mortality {is high as [three to one die which is a very {heavy loss of life, { 'The one prolific cause cf the |existence of infants' homes is ille- gitima&ey," said the speaker, who add- {ed that the only way to deal with the problem was to put the axe at the fool of the tree that bears thess {unfortunate children. "In 1914 the act was made more effective, but in only one case in 344 was the faiher trought to book. In 220 cases out of 687 there was a satisfactory set- tiement; in 335 failure to get a set- tlement, and one-third of the total are still pending." | This act has not been operative in {this city before and Mr. Black tol! jof his efforts to have it carried out properly. If the problem of the un- married parents is properly dealt {with these institutions wi'g cease to exist. The infants' home fere is the only institution of its kind and chil- {but one day old.

Kenneth Scott Latourette in the April Yale Review : . Anyone who knows China is quita aware that thera does not immed- fataly appear any great basis for even the most chastened optimism. What gives one pause is the sefene con- fidence of the Chinese. They admit with engaging frankness the disord- ers and weaknesses of thelr land, but few of them appear to be great- ly concerned. They have experienc- led, they claim, in their three thous- and years of authentic history many a prolonged period of disorder and of subjection to foreigners, and yet they have always reestablished their unity and independence and absorb- ed their conquerors. They quietly as- sume that, given time, the same re- sult will again follow. Wind Piles Up Ice. The change in the wind oh Monday night caused the ice to pile up on; the Wolfe Island shore. Tuesday morning the steamer Wolfe Island- er had a little difficulty reaching the city on account of the drift fce in the bay at Wolfe Island. It is ex- pected that the steamer will be able to make a trip to Howe Island on Thursday. It is some time since residents from Howe Island have been able to attend the Kingston market. The ferry between Howe Island and the main shore has been running the last few days, but it is more convenient to come to the city by steamer.
