INAUGURATION MEETING IN CITY HALL.
VOTE OF $3,000 GRANT-IN-AID INCLUDED IN THIS YEAR'S BUDGET,
THE MUI-TSAI QUESTION BROUGHT 'UP AGAIN.
A very large number of persons, European and Chinese, at- tended the inaugural meeting of the Hong Kong Society for the On a Protection of Children yesterday in the City Hall. rough estimate there were at least 400 in the room. The meeting was concerned solely with business, the election of officers, etc., after the proposal for the constitution of the Society had been put forward by His Excellene, Sir Cecil Clementi, K.C.M.G., and warmly adopted.
In the course of his speech His Excellency referred to the vexed mui trai question, repeating his previously expressed opinion that registration of multi would not to any great extent help ta improve their condition, and his belief that these girls were as a rule better off with their employers than in their "own homes.
The Hong Kong Government," His Excellency went on, "at- taches so much importance to this matter (of the protection of children) that a vote has been included in this year's budget for a grant-in-aid of 83,000 to the Hong Kong Society for the Protection of Children,"
The Society, he said, entered on its career with the best wishes of the Hong Kong Government and with the support of all citizens of the Colony.
We have since been informed that H.E. the "Governor and Lady Clement wish it to be announced that they have become life "members of the Hong Kong Society for the Protection of Children.
