AN *TERMING, WORD The annualmeeting of the lduren County Children's Aid and Humane. Society was held at the Children's Home on Tuesday afternoon, Novem- ber 8th. There Was a fair attendance and those who were there had an in- teresting time. Masers. Willie and Greer, of Wingham, motored down and were in attendance. In his address Mr. Mitchell, the President, said: "In .gathering together for the 10th annual sheeting of the Huron County Children's Aid and. Humane Society— hut I think, the 28th annual meeting since the beginning of the Work in this county—1 feel. warranted in con- gratulating the members of the Socie- ty on the continued success which marks our efforts; but at the same time we cannot but be struck with the thought that it seems .to . be a work which apparently knows no end but is rather increasing in the calls which arise for the rescue of help- less children. from cruelly neglectful, and even criminal surroundings, that they may have that fair opportunity fora right start in life which is the birthright of every child born in this land which we proudly call "our fair Dominion." The reports which will be read to you will show the truth of this statement. As our social and economic conditions et present exist„ there seems to be little hope that we shall soon reach a time when this res- cue work can be relaxed, but rather is it true that each year's review shows an increasing necessity for vigorous and organized effort if we are to save young lives from the downward way and start them on the road to honorable and useful cit- izenship. 1f all the work done by our Society could be tabulated and item- ized in its results, it would inake a record for which we might well be devoutly thankful that we have had a share in it. I need not attempt to go into any details—you will find some of these in the reports of the County Agent and the Treasurer, and if these do not in- spire you to take a more personal and active interest in the work during the succeeding years, I will be disappoint- ed. I am continually trying to inter- est people who do not attend our re- gular meetings with the duty on their part, and the pleasure they may have, if they will attend these meetings and also visit our Children's Home, and thus become familiar with the work being done and enjoy the affection shown by the little folks who respond so lovingly to what is being done for them. May I not urge a larger at- tendance at our Society's regular meetings by the people of Goderich to whom the opportunity is so con- venient? In closing these preliminary re- marks, I wish to again express my ,hearty appreciation of the services of our .County Agent and our efficient Matron and her sympathetic assist- ant who are so assiduous in their ef- forts for the welfare and comfort of the little ones entrusted to their care, And I would be ungrateful if I did not also give praise to the county council for their ready and sympa- thetic assistance in the expense of the work, and for the improvement and comfort of the Home and its ap- pointments. Mr. G. M. Elliott, County Agent of the Society, presented his report as follows: Goderich, Ont., Nov. 8th, 192L I am now presenting the 10th an- nual report of the Huron County Children's Aid and Humane Society. It appears but a very short time since our last annual meeting held in Clin- ton. In reviewing the work of the year just past, we find it is a repitition of former years, only a little more of it. First, the Society has •the work of in- vestigating cases of neglect or abuse, that may be brought to our notice, among children anywhere in the coun- ty. Eighty-four complaints have come to us during the year, involving 182 children. These cases have been carefully investigated and such action taken in each case as we considered best, under the circumstances. Twen- ty-six of these children were finally given over as wards' of the Children's Aid Society by the judge's order. .Of these seventeen are girls and nine are boys. They came from different parts of the county and were desert- ed, or orphans, or in some way sadly neglected. Two were taken because their father was sent to prison for a term of years and their mother was unable to provide for and care for them. One fine little boy was taken from a mother who was unable to maintain him and was the same day placed in a good foster home. The next, a family of five, because a use- less father, had deserted them and the mother was quite incapable of caring for them. Good foster homes were secured for this family sight away. A brother and sister were placed in a very fine home. Two motherless girls were taken because their father was not considered a proper person to have charge of.them. They are plac- ed with their aunt, who is giving them the best of care. A baby girl whose mother bad no home,and who was unable to maintain her child, was placed in the care of foster parents A family of eve orphan children, whose parents had died within a few months of each other and left the children destitute, were taken and im- mediately placed in foster homes with- out expense. A little girl a year old was made a ward and, with the moth- er, was kept in the Shelter for a few days. We visited her father's home and got his consent to bring the moth- er and her babe home. And now she ' loves the child so she •can't bear to : think of parting with her, and ways, • "where there is a will there le a way."

We are hop- ing that.there will soon be a happy re -union of the family. There are at present 13 children in the Shelter, eight girls and five boys. And foster homes are desired for most of them. A Children's Shelter is used as a temporary home for neglected children while they are being prepar- ed for foster hooses or being changed from one home to another. A num- ber of our wards this year have been placed in foster homes without bring- ing them to the Shelter. Duringthis year we have sheltered 31, some of them only for •a short time. While in the Shelter the matron gives them such attention that a change is soon noticeable, both, in appearance and actions. We are constantly on the look out for good homes for the chil- dren, and during the year have plac- ed or replaced 38. All children are! decently clothed before they are sent out. We have made 196 visits to wards III in foster homes, and in doing this have travelled approximately 3456 miles. In many of the homes it was a great joy to visit and see how •happy and well cared for the chil- dren were. In only two cases did we find it necessary to remove children because they were not getting a fair chance. We keep in constant touch. with many of the children with let- tere, and we receive many interesting lettere from children. Many of these show that our efforts on their behalf are appreciated. Some of these let- ters would be interesting had we time to read them. buffer an extract from one or two. Dear Mr. Elliott: --I thought I would write to you to -night for r have some good news to tell you. I got the silver medal for singing at the contest the other night. What do you think of that?

' Two of our little girl wards dies during the year. We, attended the funeral of one of them, 'where the whole community. turned out to show their respect for the little girl, who was dearly loved by her foster par- ents. The society's work is under Governs ment supervision and a monthly re- port of all commitments, visits, inves- tigations, etc., is sent to the office of the provincial superintendent. The following is a summary of the report sent in: Complaints received, 84; investiga- tions, 71; children involved, 182; chil- dren made wards, 26; sent to Indus- trial School, 1; applications for chil- dren, 61; mail recelye)1, 567; mail sent out, 1813; wards visited, 196; miles approximately covered, 3456; meet- ings addressed, 11; office interviews, 394; court attendance, 34; wards in foster homes heard from, 121; ,wards placed out, 38; wards returned, 17; wards visited, 196; warnings given, 22. Figures convey very little idea of the work being accomplished and yoq would perhaps like to hear something of the many cases the Society have had to deal with. But the longer we are in the work the less we want to say about it. There is a wide field for the operation of the Society and we realize how comparatively little we caw accomplish. As superintendent of this work, I desire to express my appreciation of the sympathetic support which is giv- en by municipalities, women's insti- tutes, ladies' aids, Sunday school classes and other organisations, as well as private citizens in different parts of the county. Many have also during the year made contributions to the Shelter, which greatly reduce the cost of the upkeep. To all interested we give a hearty invitation to come to visit the Shelter and see for themselves what we are accomplishing. And to all who have in any way assisted in making the Society's work a success we return our most sincere thanks. We are greatly indebted to the press throughout the country, as many good homes have been secured for children because of items appearing in the county papers. After these reports had been read an address was heard from Mr. Amos Tovell, of Guelph, County Agent for the County of Wellington. The most precious thing in a . community was its child life, with its potentialities for the future, and it was most im- portant that this should be right. The growing lack of parental control and the effects of the movies and the dance hall on the young people of the day were influences that did not make s for the children's welfare. Mr. Tovell spoke in ,high appreciation of Mr. El- liott and the assistance he was to him in the work. In Guelph they adopt a Shelter Day when money is collected for the Shelter and something like $2,500 is raised. A vote of thanks was passed to Mr. Stovell. The old officers were re-elected, and following a suggestion of the Presi- dent's, it was decided to hold the re- gular monthly meetings of the Socie- tyon the first Tuesday in place of the second Tuesday of the month. I "Jimmy," the baby in arnis,'who is ; one of the happy children at the Home was -much admired by the visitors, I and the twelve other children sang a couple of choruses to the pleasure of; all. Refreshments were served and many took the opportunity of seeing over the Home. P iA d v *mei Ali INCShIiPO�AT�D Capital and ,Rewe dQ0,000 peer 180' I4rgncbe .
