I wish to ask him particularly about one or two points, the first being the supervision of orphans and motherless children.
This is the practice, the amount admissible being the motherless rate for a child.
Is it nothing to look after these motherless children?
Six were motherless boys, all of whom were accepted.
Where children of these deceased soldiers are, or become, motherless, orphans' pensions are awarded.
The result was that these children were motherless and the unemployed father had no wife.
There are 90,000 motherless families, with fathers who, by reason of being widowers or divorced or separated, are caring for children on their own.
There are also a large number of orphans for whom there is no provision at all except the motherless rate.
