Cur health has been‘ excellent and for the eighth consecutive year we have no deaths to record. There are two problems that I wish to direct the attention of the public to, problems that are not orphanage work, the problem of unmarried mothers for whose care on this Island no provision is made save our Act, the beet one in the Dominion, when it can be enforced. should be seriously considered and in this instance itlls io be re- gretted that the effort to establish a Central Ihmily Welfare Bureau came to naught. the problem will never be properly handled until we have some form of a social agency. I take it for granted you are here because you are keenly interested in the welfare of our unfortunate children and in the success cf our work. ‘The second grave problem is the care of men- tally retarded children cr children with physical handicaps that debar them from chance of receiving through time e foster home In lieu of their own.‘ The aim and object for every child admitted, to our care is to place them as soon as possible in a home, their own home wherever possible, or a foster home. There are three classes cf defect- ive children. The lowest is the idiot, whose mental age is under throe years. The imbecile ranges from 3-8 years, and the moron 8-12. The idiots are helpless and always require care, the Imbeciles always- need help, and the morons get by as normal people but are always getting into uouble. They keep full our fails and other penal in- stitutions. A mentally retarded child In our province, and there are many. has no chance to become self-supporting. It cannot be done in the common school and the only place is the Industrial Schools of our sister provinces, and to go there it is usually through the Juvenile Court at a cost of 85.00 a week and

Our kiddies had many pleasant breaks in the routine of their shelter by many thoughtful folks, little and big.
