His Excellency the Governor" m, his recent speech at the general meeting of the Hong Kong Society for the Protection of Children has laid down most clearly what is naw generally
accepted as being the true modern view of the re- sponsibility which we as a com- munity and as individuals bear the coming generation. towards It is not a view which has had very wide acceptance to the past, if we are to judge by results. In deed if the age old cry, of "An my brother's keeper?" has been somewhat discredited.
not many have even thought it necessary to ask "Am I to keep my brother's children"?
