It has have no doubt at all that these many difficulties before it; but I difficulties will be overcome, and I am very confident that the work of this Society will be more helpful in protecting mul-tsai and in- watching over the welfare of chil- dren in this Colony than will be the methods of official registration at present reiled upon,

I wish the Society all possible success, and I shall watch its pro- gress with the keenest interest, wherever I may be. (Applause).

I now call upon the Hon. Sir Shou-son Chow to move the resolu tion, standing in his name, for con- stituting the Hong Kong Society for the Protection of Children.

After His Excellancy's speech had been translated in Chinese by Mr. T. N. Chau, the Hon. Sir Shou- 500 Chow moved:-"That the Hong Kong Society for the Pro- tection of Children be constitut ed."

The Hon. Mr. J. P. Braga seconded the motion, which was carried unanimously.

The Hon. Sir Shou-son Chow proposed and the Hon. Mr. E. R. Hallifax seconded, "that the Con- stitution of the Society as print- ed be adopted."
