In a quark-meson theory it is found that the smallness of quark spin content and strong strange quark polarization can be understood by the anomaly and large {ital N}{sub {ital c}} expansion very well. It has been proved in this theory that the proton spin is mostly carried by quark orbital angular momentum. {copyright} {ital 1995 American Institute of Physics.}
