A few in Glenelg will yet recall her, and more in Durham where she visited when her muchâ€"lamented daughter Mrs John A.

Human betterâ€" 9 ment is now dominant _ A few years ago | it was scarcely possible to get the attenâ€" tion of people to questions of social charâ€" ( acter, but we are living in a new era when the sign of the age is the *‘child." Surely |. no period in the world‘s history compares with this in enthusiasm over the welfare of children. _ It has often been said that half one‘s duty is to prepare some one to follow us, but said the speaker, "I am beâ€" ginning to think it is about the only question of concern, to us." She laid stress upon the importance of beginning early to study the child, and the old truth was again restated that many criminals come from the physically deâ€" fective. 3 There were several questions presented by addresses and papers all of which are important to the social welfare of the country, however our main interest cenâ€" tered around the Concerns of Children. We beg to submit briefly a few of the ideas expressed. Your Agent was privileged to spend a few hours in the Congress Hall, where we listened to the views of several of the social leaders in our Province. he subject of "Iiliteracy and Retarda " was ably dea‘t with by Mr Dobson. Mr Trout was a delegate from the O Sound Branch of the Children‘s Aid Asâ€" sociation to a Social Service Congress in Toronto, in January last and gave a reâ€" port of the work done there that is sugâ€" gestive of much,. _ We have deemed it worthy of publication this week, and we ask for it a symp'athetic reading. Ladies and Gentiemen : There is a local Branch here which did good work last year ; Rev. Mr Whaley, Pres. ; Miss M McKenzie, Secy. ; Wm. Irwin, Treasurer. Membership fee is onâ€" ly 50 cts. and among many claims surely the claim of neglected children should not be overlooked. It was an address that should be reâ€" peated in Durham before long to a massed audience of" adalts, say some Sunday morning, the regular services being disâ€" pensed with. It is a human appeal with a Divine sanction. _ _Mr Trout comos in touch with this at first hand and where the home is adjudâ€" ged incapable of improvement, the childâ€" ren are removed to the Shelter at Owen Sound. Atlength he outlined how this Institution was financed, and gave inâ€" stances of the success attending their operations by turning neglected waifs inâ€" to happy and useful members of society. ‘ No one could listen to Mr. Trout telling this story and hbear his wellâ€"reasâ€" oned address on child welfare generally, without being moved to sympathy for the cause he represents, Itstartles one to hear that in this fine coanty, dotted, as he says, with churches, schools, refined homes and such like, there are stili plague spots, and not far from us, where chi dren are growing up under conditions at once barrowing and revolting. =* sidering adopting her, and when asked if she would like to go with this lady, she said "Don‘t send me back to Muyver." This appealing request was made to Agent E. A. Trout of the Children‘s Sheiterin () Sound, who gave an eloquent and appealing address in the Public Libâ€" rary on Tuesday evening, to about a score of citizens. The appeal was made by a fourâ€"year old child, that had been taken from a degraded Grey County home two weeks before ; a lady was conâ€" Don‘t Send Me Children‘s Aid Society Back to Muvyver" The evening was spent in discussing ’ yarious phases of ‘‘Mothers‘ Allawances". This is a most impo: tant subject to every !social worker as from time to time we | meet cases of dire need and know that in | many instances neg‘ect of children is ' brought about by necessity. _ Rev. Peter Boyce, who does relief work in Toronto, | was the first Speaker. _ His opening senâ€" tence was that "All present agreed that the normal development of children is one of the main functions of Gove: nment" (2) That normal family life is the foundâ€" ation of the state. (3) The mother is the best guardian of her children The time is here when the government should pay money to the mother to care for her | child rather than to an Institution. Furâ€"| ther it is believed that the care of the fatherless child should not be left to charâ€" ity or any form of outdoor relief. AJJ time reform work must begin with the' child,â€"privete enterprise has failed to ; adequately meet the need _ There is} greater danger of pauperizing by inadeâ€" quate than by adequate relief. | Miss Whetton, who appeared but a girl, read a fine paper on Child Labor. Figures were given to show the number of children who stopped school at or beâ€" fore 14 years. 1 cannot give you these but they were startling, but we get these that cut of 3000 passinf) the Entrance only 130 went beyond the thrd g‘ade in the High School. Causes were many : (1) Economic (2) Unholy Competition among employers (3) FParental greed, some going even so far as to perjure themselves, by giving false certificates as to age. _(4) The child‘s desire to earn. (5) The Employers snxiety to have the: benefit of child labor which was had for very little. _ in Portage La Prairie the illiterates ’numbered 9.4 per cent : in Brandon 9.2 per cent. This is large, but conditions in Rural sections are worse as there are many more who drop out, Theexpense of reteaching the retarded children is about oneâ€"tenth of the whole cost of Eduâ€" cation. â€" Certain causes were assigned as fcllows : (1) Part term schools. (2) Irâ€" regular atrendance. (3) Lack of parenâ€" tal interest. (4) Lack of school equipâ€". ment. (5) Failure to adjust the curriculum to meet the needs of defective children | He then read from His information was based on conditions in the prairie provinces, from which he comes. â€" Some of the figures read were startling for instance ; out of a population of 1,240,374, there were 47000 males and 45000 females, 10 years of age and over who could neither read nor write, about 7} per cent. Ot the above number of ilâ€"> literates 314 per cent were Canadian born 1 per cent British born, 674 per cent Forâ€" | eign. This presents at once a serious ‘ question : another phase of it was that | Illiteracy segregates itself, is not spread . over the province. in one part of Saskatâ€" chewan, there are 6700 Germans, 4500 French, 1500 Poles who do not speak English. _ He also said that there was a higher percentage of Canadianâ€"born Gerâ€" mans than of Alienâ€"born Germans who do not speak English. | We buy and sell all kinds of Grain Highest price paid for Oats, Barleiw All kinds of Cattle Rob Roy Rolled Oats Chieftain Oat Flakes _ Rob Roy Wheat Flakes Standard and Granulated Oatmeals C.
