SHOULD GIRLS BE WARNED
j AN IMPORTANT QUESTION
Should girls be warned of the dangers they are likely to have to face in life?
This delicate but important question was raised recently at the international congress held at Caxtcn Hall for tho suppression of the white slave traffic. The point at issue'was whether young people should be educated tin their moral interests.
On this subject the Rev. J. Scott Lidgett was emphatic. Such education he urged, had to be undertaken with singular wisdom and discretion, but that it ought to be undertaken no one could doubt.
The matter, lie added, was occupying at the present time the most serious attention of educational authorities in London and the country.
In the course of a speech at a luncheon to tho delegates bv the Homo Office, Mi' McKenna said that a traffic which by its nature-depended upon secrecy for success, was at least half destroyed when the lacts wore made public. The Criminal Law Amendment Act ha\l had a very good effect in suppressing vice. Many who carried on their odious trade had been driven from these shores.
