after an act was passed to pre

need was seen for a society it-

today it is called the Children's
Aid Society, a name which means
little to the great number of
more secure individuals in
country, but a name which is
unglamorous title for one o:

If the judge finds there is suf
ficient evidence of neglect, he
has power to make the child a
permanent or temporary ward of
the Society. In the latter in
stance, the parents have an op
portunity to change their lives
and home life, and if after a
year’s time they can satisfy the
judge that they have a fit home,
the child will be returned to
them.
The broken home is due mostly
to intemperance, flagrant_ immor
ality, on the part of parents and
delinquency on the part of child
ren. The question of I.Q. enters
in with both parent and child.
Commenting about the work
itself, Mrs. Chaffee said
