Employment Bureau. This is a new branch of the Society's work which the Council is anxious to organize thoroughly.. The object of the Bureau is to find suit. able employment for poor boys and girls on leaving school, on completion of their general school education.The scheme is also to assist others who may be out of employment, by bringing to their notice particulars of any vacancies, and, by en- deavouring to: encourage by evening classes at Kailap School those who wish to hit themselves for more rerauserative

in trades suitable to their roentions. It is the intention of the Council to address the Government and the vari ous business houses of the Colony to seek their sympathy with, and co-opera- tion in, this work. Employment, was found for three, girls and two boys in
1923.
St. Joseph's Home for the aged Four. Kowloon Tong:-The accommodation in the present house at Kowloon Tong is entirely inadequate to meet the large number of deserving cases that come or are sent for admission. It is with painful feelings that the Little Sisters of the poor who are in charge of the homa are frequently obliged to turn away poor people for whom they would very much like to provide. Even the verandahs, closed in, and passage-ways are being: 1,300.00 used as dormitories. In furtherance of 14603 their work the Little Sisters of the Poor are appealing to the public of Hongkong 21,099.46 for support to enable them to provide a 345.43 new and enlarged home for the aged poor of the Colony on the site which the Government has kindly offered them at the back of Kowloon "City. The Council has voted special grant of 85,000 to this deserving object, of which 82,500 has been paid and 9.500 is contingent upon the two annual appeals "Our Peer Day result of the forthcoming bazaar.
