A great deal is being done for the definitely subnormal child, although it is obvious that these will in most cases never be entirely up to standard. It is the potentially normal child on whom attention should be most centred, and we are happy to feel that here in Hongkong such an institution as the Nethersole Hospital is work- ing on the right lines in this con- nexion.. We wish it well its work of mercy and commend to the public the appeal new issued to enable it to do even better things in the days ahend.
