Unfortunately,owingtothelate hour,hewasnotabletogivehis opinionsandtheresultofhispracticalexperiencewithanythinglikethe fulnessoftreatmenttheirmerits calledfor.BishopGibney'sspeechand resolutionwererecognisedbyallthe judiciouspersonsintheaudienceas themostpracticalresolutionofthe evening,andtheonethatwenttothe rootofthematter.

DR.GIBNEY'SSPEECH.

Onrisingtoproposehisresolution,theMostRev.Dr.Gibneysaid thathewishedtoexpresshispleasureattheenthusiasmwhichhad markedtheproceedings.Hehad, however,hesaid,certainexceptionsto taketothesentimentsofsomeof thespeakersthatevening.

Hereferredtothemanysplendidinstitutionswhichwerecaringforunfortunatewomenandchildren.butthey wereofnousewithoutStateaid. (Hear,hear). Afoundlinghomewas absolutelynecessary,butafterthat thepublicmustnotforgettheirduty.

Themotionwascarriedunanimously.

Mr.Daglish,M.L.A.,moved-

'That,whilenotexcludingthetakingofothermeasures,itisboththe wisdomandthedutyoftheStateto assistandfosterexistingsocietiesand institutions,andinstitutionstocome intoexistence,designedforthecare ofneglectedinfants."

WhiletheywerearguingaboutwhethertheStateshouldfoundthenecessaryinstitutionsorWhetherthepublicshould,somethingmustbedoneto savethechildrenwhoweredyingday byday.(Applause). Itmattered nottohimwhatchurch'savedthebodiesofthechildren.Ifthebodies weresavedtherewasplentyoftime tosavethesouls.(Applause). He thoughtallhonorwasduetothe nobleinstitutionswhichweredoing what,inhisopinion,shouldbedone bytheState.Suchinstitutionshe feltwereonlycalledintoexistencebecausetheGovernmenthadneglected itsduty,andtheyshouldnowbeassisted.

Mr.HarryBrown,M.L.A.,seconded themotion.Hethoughtthatprivate institutionsassistedbytheState coulddobetterworkthantheState byitselfcoulddo.(Hear.hear.)

Mr.Daglishinaheatedreply,said therecouldnoobjectinmovingthe resolutionthatwasjustifiedbythe utterancesofthespokesman.(Applause).Hismotionwassimplythat theGovernmentshouldassistcertain institutionswhichhadalreadybeen esta',Iished,andwhereverpublic moneywasspenttheinstitutionreceivingitwassubjecttoGovernment supervision.Thespokesmancould servenogoodendbyforcinghis amendment. liehadcordiallycongratulatedtheinstitutionsonthework theyhaddone,andyethadmoved thisresolution.Itseemedtohim (thespeaker)thatthespokesmanhad becomearivalofMr.Gladstoneinhis abilitytosaynothinginsomany words.(Laughter.)Theyallwantedpubliccontrolandpublicresponsibility,buttheyfoundthatthoseorganisationswhichhaddonenothing themselvescomplainedagainsttheGovernmentgivingsomethingtothose whohadtakenthematterinhand. (Hear,hear.)Hewasnotofthat classofcritic.andwouldalwaysendeavortoassistaninstitution,whetherRomanCatholicorSalvation Army,whichwasdoinggoodwork whichtheStateshoulddo.

ItisonlysinceChristcameonearth thatinfantsliveswerevaluedbymanVinci;Sincethenonlywasthepreservationofinfantlifelookeduponas anadmirableandnoblework,bymen. ForChristpickedupalittlechild, tookitintohisarmsandcaressedit.

Itwasonthis planeofexalted motivehehadeachchildcaredfor.

ANAUTHORITYONTHECAREOF CHILDREN.

Mr.H.Briggs,Wee..proposedthe secondresolution:"Thatwhileonthemattersoflegislationandtheprovisionofremedies theGovernmenthasundoubtedresponsibility,thepublichasitsresponsibilityalso"

"BecausetheState,"hesaid, cannot buy love. Loveand personalkindnessareimperativelyrequiredincaringforthese children.TheStatemaygetmento workforsalaries:itmaylavishmoney onitsservants,butitcanneverpurchasetendernessandaffection.The ladieswhohavegivenuptheirlives forloveofGodandwhodevotethose livestocaringforhelplesschildren, andtheirunfortunate.mothers,calsalone givethatloveandpersonalkindness, andthatheartfelthumansympathy whichthemiseryoftheirchargesrequire."

Unfortunately,atthisstageofthe proceedings,aspokesmanfromanunrepresentativeandgenerallydiscreditedlittlesectionofthecommunity, marredtheunanimityandUseenthusiasmprevailingbytheintroduction ofthatmostdespicableandhatefulof allevils-sectarianism.Ilemovedas anamendment"That.whilemostcordiallyacknowlteiginthesplendidservicesrendered bydenominationalinstitutionsinthe careofneglectedchildren,thismeetingdeclaresthatnosystemofprotectioncanberegardedasadequate whichdoesnotembodythefullest measureofpublicresponsibility,as expressedinpublicsupportandpublic mutrot.'

Aftersomefurtherargumentthe amendmentwaslostandthemotion wascarriedbyaverylargemajority.

Afterthefourthresolutionhadbeen proposedthereunfortunatelyarose suchconfusionowingtothevarious amendmentswhichwereproposed.that theresolutionitselfwaslostandan thendmentproposedbyDrMacauleyon behalfoftheCouncilofChurcheswas unconsciouslyacceptedbytheaudience withoutrealisingitstenor. The amendmentcontainsthewords"This meetingstronglyurtesupontheGovernmenttohc'artilyadmitthesystemandmethodofproceduresosplendidlycarriedoutbytheGovernments ofSouthAustraliaandHungaryover solongaperiodofyears."

Dr.Gibneycontinuing,saidIhave arighttospeakonthisquestion.My wholelifehasbeatdevotedtothecare andup-rearingofchildren,andmylife longexperiencewithchildrenandinstitutionsfortheirtrainingentitles metospeakwithauthorityonthe coursewhichshouldbefollowedfor theirpreservation. Iam-IIyearsin Australia,and40yearsofthese44 yearshavebeendevotedtochildren. ItisjustfortyyearsagosinceIestablishedthefirstorphanage-theorphanageatSubiaco.Andnotone childfromthatinstitutionhadgone astray.Speakingfrommyownexperience,andwiththeauthorityof onewhohaspracticalknowledge. I saythatthemanagementofsuchinstitutionsinthehandsoftheState MUSTBEAFAILURE.

Thisresolutionintentionallyorinadvertentlycontainsaseriousmisstatement. Itmentionsasystem carriedoutinHungary"overalong periodofyears."TheHungariansystemisonlyinexistencesince1903. Tosayasystemwhichisonlyinits fourthyearandwhichevenitsmost enthusiasticadvocatesadmittobe stillonitstrial.hasbeencarriedon overalongperiodofyearsisridiculousandabsurd.
