Abstract
This thesis explores the early history of the Canadian Save the Children Fund, a branch of a voluntary British international organization aimed at assisting children during times of war. Founded in 1922, the Fund drew heavily from domestic child-welfare initiatives and was consistently loyal to the British cause. Fostered by both co-operation with other organizations in Canada and the conditions created by the Second World War, the Canadian branch became independent in 1946. This is a systematic study of the early Canadian Fund's organizational structure, as well as its economic and social contributions in an international context. The sources used to reconstruct this early history are varied and draw upon several different archives. Financial statements, minutes of executive meetings, and memoranda of the Canadian Fund were consulted for this study. The annual reports and monthly newsletter of the British Fund were also examined. Additionally, contemporary sources, including newspapers and child-welfare literature help to place this study in context. Similar sources of the Canadian Friends Service Committee, with which the Canadian Fund was closely associated were also utilised. As part of a growing body of scholarship on the history of childhood, this thesis is the first academic study of the early history of the Canadian Save the Children Fund.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from it
