The Esport.
The annual report read by Mra E. M. Clark, headmistress stated, inter alia: The attendance through out the year has been good.
Several medical inspections were made by Mrs. Minett, M.QS., dur- ing the year. On one occasion Mrs. Minett gave an interesting lantern lecture on mosquitoes and flies, when coloured health slides were shown to the pupils. Miss Jaques visited the school throughout the year to give instruction in drill, games and hygiene. Her remedial exercises
have bencfitted those children who needed them.
Pupils were taken to the World Theatre to see "The Birth of a Flower" and 3 children visited the Queen's Theatre by courtesy of the Navy League to view the film "Keep Watch. There were sever- nl informal parties during the year -May Day and Halloween.
The 23rd Hong Kong Cub Pack and the 6th Hong Kong Brownie Pack hold their meetings here on Mondays and Thursdays.
The staff at the beginning of the year consisted of Mrs. 1. J. Pryde, Mrs. A. G. Jefford, Miss M. J. Stuart and myself. Mrs. Pryde left in April in order to proceed to Scotland. Miss M. A. Karelake joined the staff in May.
The work generally, throughout the year, has been satisfactory in al classes. One innovation made this year was the introduction of a Percussion Band.
Details explaining the objects and reason of all these Ordinances have already received attention in these columns..
As a matter of fact, the only exempted" persons would be per- sons in the Royal Navy or the Army, Volunteers, police, and police The Gospels suffer from the man- reserves in connection with their oor in which the publishers present duties, Commissioned Officers, cer- them. Read them in the "Every-tain public officials (approved by man" edition, without the irritating chapters and verses, and the nar rative grows in strength and power.
It is quite clear, in this edition, for instance, when Christ speaks and when either another person or the narrator is expreasing himeelt.
Take what Christ says. It is always interesting, vivid, and in tensely applicable to-day. Examine His words and, I maintain, you can never reject them as wrong or out af date. They are not, moreover, vague platitudes-Christ is never tedious or platitudinarian. The meaning of some of the parables is deep and subtle, but the story is invariably perfect as a story. I will challenge anyone to try to pick a hole in any of Christ's teachings. No other teacher has those quali ties. St. Paul can be intensely dul and is often "parochial (ie., the dic- tum about women cutting their hair

in the preceding paragraph.

Brooklyn, Dec. 9.-Three child- ren in the family of Joseph Falzone, an Italian contractor, were killed in an explosion caused in tragic fashion:
As the children were preparing to attend mass, they spied a pack. age on the kitchen table.
Believing that "Santa Claus hea been here," they opened the pack- age. It proved to be a bomb, which exploded and riddled their bodica and the walls of the kitchen with iron slugs...
