TERRIBLE APATHY
It is appropriate, at a moment when the mind of the community 18 stili seriously occupied and anxious in regard to the epidemie. of small-pox in the Colony, that public reference should be made to the "terrible apathy" of the Chinese masses toward questions of public health.. Nothing if not outspoken was Dr. Arthur Woo, in his presidential address at the nineteenth biennial conference of the China. Medical Conference held in Shanghai, a verbatim re- port of which has just reached us. As, Dr. Woo says, "medical ideals rise beyond politics but their realisation. is dependent on peace and order; for a stable poli- tical state is essential for the freest scope for medical work." With a united and settled China, it must be anticipated that medi- cal progress will come into its own. And on the health of China, and particularly Kwangtung, will depend to an enormous extent the health of the Colony of Hong Kong. As in the material ques- tion of trade so it is with public health: the good health of Kwang- tung must react favourably on the health of
of this Colony, and vice versa. A serious epidemic in one Province or Colony cannot but exercise direfai influences on the other. In times of political crises in South China, the masses Bock to Hong Kong. These are equal-
