IT IS ESTIMATED that there are now in Hong Kong between 50.000 and 60.000 children of school age whose parents cannot afford to send them to school. Such children have far too much time on their hands and, roaming the streets without supervision, are liable to get into mischief if not into serious trouble. Street libraries, set up (as illustrated) on pavement's edge, where trashy comic books may be read for a few cents. do thriving business.
