THE ADDRESS
Mrs. Barker sald:-
It is with diffidence that I stand to talk to a gathering of eminent business men. I do not know much about business, but I have always heard that one of the
the characteristics of Business Magnate (and perhaps of his wife) is that he likes value for money; he appreciates a return of at least one dollar twenty for every dollar of his outlay.
I hope to show you that in the six years of its existence the Bo- cfety for the Protection of Children has given a good return for the money that you and other bene- factors have entrusted to it...
I can speak thus with conviction and with no suspicion of self advertisement, because the Society has been in active existence since 1930, and I have had the honour of being its 'Honorary Secretary for few months only-long enough to have realised what has been done, but not long enough to have done much myself, I can assure you that never has money given for charity been more wise- ly invested than by our bene factors, and more wisely used than by the Bociety.

HONORARY OFFICIALS
All the administrative work is done by Honorary Officials in fact being an official is an expensive business. No one ever seems to charge the Society for any out of pocket expense. I know that thanks to the generosity of some members of the Committee there, has so far been no expense on equipment for the central office. and as
an extreme example of generosity I should like to mention in tribute to the late Mr. Cooper, whose loss we feel so keenly, that ir. his one year of acting Honor- ary Director for Mr. Hazlerigg who was on leave, he spent no less than a thousand dollare on his work, out of his own pocket.
Now where has the Bulk of the money gone, and what has the Society done to justify its exis- tence?

UNHAPPY THING
One unhappy thing we have learnt from the monthly analyses of the case reports. The average income per head per month at the beginning of the work was three dollars eighty a month. In the months of 1936 which have so far passed that income has been about one dollar forty. It has been slowly falling year by year. No one has escaped the economic de- explain that pression.

Their incomes may be one hundred dollars a month or more, but they are in- cluded in obtaining the averages. $1.40 being the average! I leave it to your ready brains, to imagine what the poorest of our cases try to live on.
