The number of illegtmate children is increasing and it becomes the duty of society to illook after them. It is the right of 1 every child to get a decent start in life. We must always have in mind ;lthe value of_ the chil to society. .Thc underprivlleged child left to rlchanceis very liable to become an ;lenem_v to society. _ ll-. slannltl hn the 211111 to _Q`Ct the `enemy to society.
