A.O. Neville: Just because people have Neolithic tools, Inspector, doesn't mean they have Neolithic minds.
A.O. Neville: Half-caste children have been gathered up and brought here to give them the benefit of everything our culture has to offer. For if we are to fit and train such children for the future, they cannot be left as they are, and in spite of himself, the native must be helped.
