SAVE THE CHILDREN
At the inception of the campaign for
the abolition of liquor in our Province
the slogan was, "Save the Boy." This
campaign having been successful
there is still another argent duty
which we should have ever befnre ns
which is, "Save the Children," This
should provide a sufficient outlet for
the energies of those who desire to aid
in the suppression of e,'ime, which de-
sire should be felt by all Canadians,
With this acontnplished there will be
1111 national menace.

touch, or how little, Le being provided
that will directly tend to keep these
institutions empty, thereby saving
the vast expenditure now incurred.
It is surprising the auuiunt it costs
to apprehend, punish mid maintain
criminals, and how little to prevent
criminals corning in t0"existence.
Criminals do not fall ready-made
from the sky, nor do they spring Diem
the earth ; ae the rest of humanity,
they are born. They have iufatncy,
childhood, youth tend manhood. ft is
front the neglected and dependent
children that the ranks of profession-
al criminals are recruited. These little
ones raised in homes of v101000, 1111 -
moral or criminal environment, par-
ental o' otherwise, had not the op-
portunities in these hovels, which
wets called homes l
, to learn 1 Lo be
respectable ectable citizens.
The question now confronts us,
what is to be done ? and to my mined
the anemic is this :
We have in our Province the 011111-
ren's Aid Society under very able
management of J. J. Kelso,. who is
Superintendent of this great 0lgen iea-
110u with blanches in every County in
our Province, and who has demon-
strated by his untiring efforts that he
is the right man in the right place,
and the constant aim of this organiza-
tion is to prevent urine rachet' than
eo•rett the criminals.
Mr. Kelso is very ably assisted in
this great work in 11111.012 County by
G. M. Elliott, %vim is the nffieer in
charge of the work of reelaiuling and
re-establishing these children in their
()toper places in tlwe comnlrtity, re-
eetving great praise from all who attic
In touch with his wo4t. These cngan-
izations are the most important fact -
0r5 in the social life of a community.
It is not alone the work 0.000111p1101181
that will command attention, but the
silent influence exerted by the mere
fact of many of the most; respected
people in the Pt09irnc1 being handed
together For the moral uplift, the omi-
tecton, training and ,dltralion of the
little ones, and their development a-

The system Milder which these so-

lieve, be in order, suit can be seen
Ghat we have not the proper method
of dealing with the miedueeled or
misguided child, telto perhaps has
committed his first wrong act "petty
I theft', and who deeds Ptureeti0)1 and
guidance rather than punishment and
humiliation. In these cases the fol-
lowing pr'ocedur'e is taken. An 'in-
formatics or complaint is laid against
the child for • the offence bya con-
stable. H
The aisle is 1
1 summoned ap-
pear o e to
Por 1�
trial. Hie parents are noti-
fied and they attend court with the
child, who is confronted again by the
policeman in uicifotrn. A plea is
taken and evidence heard as in crimin-
al cases, in Lhe presenee al' the accused
child. .The c'h11d perhaps convicted
and 0eul.i Ooe suepencled, and Llnitit-
tle child gm's foi th from the Police
Conn, lu whirl are tried the most
hardened criminals, with a suspended
sentence upon him, which very often
in the home he is reminded of, in order
to bring this child into subjection or
perhaps Lhe threat is used that the
policeman will again he culled. This
system df dealing with the delinquent
child should be abolished in our
County as it in many other counties
and most cities, A Juvenile Court
should be established. There should
be no taint of a criminal court in the
proceedings. This child ehnnld be re-
garded as a ward of the Province, to
be cared for and guided by it, and not
as an enemy Lo be punished by it.
Therefore in these juvenile cases in-
stead of a charge, a trial and COD vie
Lion, there should be nothing more
than a careful ingot into the condi-
tion and (mei' Dumont of the child
and Iheenm1tiet of its patents. The
remedy, if any, could then, by the
provisions of the Statutes, be easily
arrived fit by the Juvenile Court
.indge.
fu is therefore very essential that
the Juvenile Courts Act be proclaim-
ed in our County, as has been discuss-
ed al the meetings all the Huron
County Ohildlen's Aid Society, to
facilitate the carrying mi of this great
work in our County, and it should be
a smatter of great concern to -every
church organization and every Society
in our County that their eupport be
given the Children's Aid Society in
this great; work. We have in our
Province homes for the aged, and
ins i'ilntions for the feeble-minded and
incurables, which are crowded to over -

To Red Cross Workers
DEAR MRs, Twoatso7,—On behalf
of the London Branch may I thank
you and your co-workers very heartily
for the generous donation received
from you. Owing to the moms hav-
ing'been closed for two weeks to give
the workers a much needed holiday it
was 1105 lookedover until to -day.
First I n'aiit�to thank you for your
very kind letter. I read it to the 05E -
tiers and they instructed me to tell you
hew mucin we appreciate your efforts
to have the work satisfactory. We
know from experience just how hard
itis to get people to see that there
may he a better way than theirs.
The hospital shirts are very nicely
made but please do not make any
more 11et now as we have instructions
f1'otn headquarters that no more are
needed at present. The pyjamis are
very satisfactory except the fronts of
the trousers. We have found a way
of finishing these which_ is much less
work and make a more satisfactory
finish than the old tvay. This is fully
described in otic book of directions end
I will also send you a sample when I
send the sample socks which were
forgotten t0 day but will be sent next
Tuesday.
The towels were all very nice but
those made of crash ore suitable only
for the trenches and should be only 27
inches lung.
According to your request we have
returned all the cocks which would
not pass inspection. These are done
up in separate bundles telling just
what is wrong with them. The nar-
rowing in three places makes a very
uncomfortable ridge in the sole which
COMPS jtlst under the toes. Tile lumpy
and rigid toes 1111 have to be done over
before they can be sent forward and
we are grateful to you for having
there sent back to be done over as it
takes up so much time from the other

feet, naturally become very tender

(9110 received a letter from her brother
who is serving i11 the British army,
asking her to send him some socks
like the Canadian soldiers get. He
said "They never get gore feet like We
do." Now if we allowed the imperfect
socks to go forward this could not be
said about 000 men, Surely we are all
proud of them and want to save them
any discomfort we possibly can, so
please ask your knitters to be 'very
careful to follow the ditecLious exactly
and save not only the morn's feet but
the time and (dare I stay it) the temper
of our sock committee.
Again thanking you not only for the
shipment but also fur your letter and
your splendid spirit, with kind re-
gards and the season's greetings.
Yours very truly,

All of us cannot fight. All of us—men, women and children—can do something towards winning the war.
Are we seeking that "something,” or are we evading it? Are we Iooking for the "bit" we should do, or trying
to forget it?
Take the Canadian Patriotic Fund. It
has been created to care for the families of our
soldiers in those cases—and those only—where
need exists. Experience has shown that this
means in two families out of three. Up to
December 1, 1916, the people of Canada have
given $15,500,000 to the Fund.
That is generous giving, isn't it? But
the country is still at war; our armies are still
growing; the soldiers' families are still in need;
the Fund still must be maintained. And what
do we find: in every part of the country men
crying that they have given enough to the
Fund—that Government should now take the
burden.
Given enough! When the Canadian
lad in the trenches is dead -tired, ready to drop
in his tracks, does he chuck his job, declare he
has given enough, and call on Government to
get another man? Given enough! Is there e
man in Canada has given enough if women and
children are in need while he, the stay-at-
home, has a dollar to spare?
No! This Fund, above all funds, has
a claim on every citizen who is not himself a
pauper. The fact that Government has not
assumed responsibility for it is the fact that
makes every man responsible for it—even if
he thinks the Fund should be maintained by
Government moneys. Are YOU helping to insure this home against need?
GOVERNMENT SHOULD NOT CONTROL, BECAUSE—
1. Government would have to treat all alike. The Fund helps only those in need, If Government paid the
families of each soldier the average sum paid by the Fund the extra burden on the country would be between eight
and nine million dollars yearly. g t
2. )3y paying the average sum those families in districts where cost of livin • is low would
they need; those in high-cost areas would be paid too little. g receive more than
3. Costs of administration would be enormously increased. This work is now done, for the most part, by
willing workers without cost. Of every hundred dollars subscribed, Ninety-nine Dollars and Forty-six Cents go to the
families! Never was a voluntary fund so economically administered,
4. The work would suffer. There would be no more of the friendly, almost paternal, relation now existing
between the administrators of the Fund and the families. Government works automatically. The Fund's visitors
are friends in need, therefore friends indeed.
5. Taxation would be unequal, for some counties and some provinces are already taxing their,people for this
Fund. Are they to be taxed again by the Federal authority?
6. The richer classes would be relieved of work they are cheerfully doing. They are now bearing, and bearing
because they have the financial power and the patriotic willingness, the larger, share of g
them this task, and give it to all, rich and poor? the burden. Why take from
7. The Fund blesses him that gives. It is a vehicle for public spirit—a channel for
Pp
aatriotic endeavor. . T eworkof administering it has uncovered
unknown reservoirs
of unselfish
ossan
a dsacri c
fie.en and nd women have
thrown t rose
h lues into this
work because they found in it the "bit" for which they looked—their contribution to
winning the war. Why stay their hand and stifle thdir enthusiasm?
8, Last, but not least: Government means raising the money by selling Government bonds. Govern-
ment bonds mean future taxation. And that means that the returning soldiers will pay, through tang years, a large
share of the cost of caring for their families—a cost we, the stay-at-homes, 'pledged ourselves to bear.
AND AR D WONIiN OF ONTARIO;
Bend, your backs once again to this burden. Ifou live in theit
Y rural districts Sec to that your chanty councils

give as your conscience tells you is your duty, your war-
time part, In this day of national sacrifice.
