THE TSINAN LAUNCHED,
MADAME CHEN PERFORMS

CHILD WELFARE.
[TO THE EDITOR OF THE "RONG KONG DAILY PERSS.*]
Stn. The formation of the Hong Kong Society for the Protection of Children is & praiseworthy effort on the part of those who have bound themselves together for the pro- motion of the permanent well-being of the neglected children in the Colony.
Such an organization should have been constituted long ago. However, it is not too late to do anything in that direction at this stage of the inbvement for child welfare in Hong Kong And like every worthwhile social service, the work should he prosecuted with a view to the formulation of progress of action and of education through the co-operative efforts of the vari uus sections of the community. The programme before the Society should include four lines.
The visitors then adjourned to the tea room" and after all had been seated, Mr. Shaw said that it

The annual report has been em bodied in a well arranged booklet of 23 printed pages. Mrs. Scuthorn read some extracts from this report, saying how very pleased she was that guiding had gained so firm a hold-among girls whose homes were in the Colony. She also made re- ference to the valuable work done by Miss Esther Kotewall and Miss Woo.

A comprehensive programme like the above may sound Utopian to the ultra practical, but if a thing is worth doing it is worth doing well, and the suggestions are thrown out to the newly constituted Society for its careful analysis and considera-, tion.
Madame Chan Speaks. Madame Chen, who spoke in Chinese, said it was,, indred a pleasure for her to be present. She was very grateful for the present Mr. Shaw had just handed her, and she asked those present to join her in wishing the China Navigation Company a very prosperous future.
