Mr. Gross pointed out that the maintenance of children is not met by the municipality until such child- ren are made wards of the Society. Of the 19,769 children mentioned be- fore, only 1,0’76 have had to be made wards. “There is much misunderstanding of the functions of the Societies," the Minister of Public Welfare asserted. “They are, in reality, private organ- izations, dependent upon the goodâ€" will of private citizens for the finâ€" ancial support that enables them to give the protective service to child- ren in their own homes. In addition they look after the matter of adop- tions of which we had more than 800 last year. Another feature is the work of supervision of children placed in “free” homes. There were. more than 6000' youngsters cared for in private homes last year by people who were willing to do this out of the goodness of their hearts and at no cost to anyone save themselves. To these people the citizens of Onâ€" tario owe a debt of gratitude for they are giving these children someâ€" thing that money cannot buyâ€"a pro- per home life and the affection which is the birthright of every child." For all these services, Mr. Gross continued, the Societies cannot leg- ally obtain any assistance from mun- icipal finances, in spi‘e of the fact that the Societies’ work saves hun- dreds of thousands of dollars in pub- lic expenditures by circumventing the necessity of making many child- ren public wards.

Ontario has 53 Children’s Aid .30â€" cieties he continued, and in the year ending last March, these had super- vision over the lives of 19,769 child- ren living in their own homes. This is a service rendered by the Sociâ€" eties which is not generally appre- ever possible, and this is a fixed policy of the Societies. The former system of utilizing shelters has been discarded in favor of adoptions, boarding homes and free homes, a plan which has met with marked suc- cess. There are untold instances where Societies have succeeded in bringing about an improvement in home conditions so that the child- ren would not become charges upon the community and the Province.” Ontario has 53 Children’s Aid‘ Soâ€" MDHM he continued. and in the year From all sources, private, munici- pal and provincial, Children’s Aid work costs approximately $1,200,000 annually. For this sum the Socie- ties provide care for as many as 35,- 000 children each year, the individual cost ranging from $40 to $45 per child per year. These activities are all under the direct supervision of the Department of Public Welfare, with Mr. B. W. Heise as Superinâ€" tenden’c. There is a general misunderstand- ing of the work of Children’s Aid Societies in Ontario, observed Hon. Eric Cross in a brief summation of the work of the Department of Pub,- lic Welfare under whOSe direction the Societies operate. “Taxpayers of: Ontario are saved many thousands of dollars annually as a result of preventative! work done by the Societies,” the Minister declared, “and because of the very nature of this work, the public gen- erally has had slight inkling of its effectiveness.
