CHILD WELFARE.
An interested gathering of members of the various branches of the Women's Christian Temperance Union met at the Y.W.C.A. on Tuesday, 25th inst., to meet Miss Margaret Moss, of Pennsylvania, who gave an interesting talk on " Child Welfare."
In speaking about the work in Pennsylvania Miss Moss said that the dependent child, who is " only skin and bones and soul," is the responsibility or a separate State bureau, pf children. Every effort is made to keep the child with his own family as far as possible, or, if he must be separated, to have him placed in a foster family. This worS, to be successful, must be done by trained workers. Institutions are still nsed, bat the modern trend is to develop them on the cottage plan, so that the atmosphere will be as home-like as possible. The W.C.T.U. have recently moved a resolution urging the separation of the. child-welfare department from the Department of Education.
