THE GASTRO-ENTERITIS OUTBREAK.
A meeting of the Sanitary Board was held yesterday. Mr A. Gibson presided and those present were Hon. Mr W. Chatham, Hon. Mr E R Hallifax, Hon. Mr C. G. Alabaster, Capt Monteith, M O.E. Lt. Col. Crisp. Dr. Koch, Mr. Tse, and Mr C. M. W. Reynolds, Secre-
.tary.
CHILDREN IN FACTORIES, ...The following letter from Gov. ernment relative to the employ ment of children in factories and workshops was read:" "I am

the directed
state that Government has made careful en- quiries in connection with the resolution of the Sanitary Board regarding the employment of small children in factories and workshops. The Government is fully in sympathy with the sug gestion that the employment of children for long hours daily or their employment in any danger- ous or unhealthy occupation should be prohibited, but it appears that the presence of children in factories and workshops is largely due to the fact that parents, hav- ing a place for their safe custody are obliged to take their children with them when they go to work. It is stated that although the children in some cases spend long hours in or about factory or work- shop premises, the time of actual work is generally speaking short and the work is light. It seems expedient, before passing any legislation of the nature suggested by the Sanitary Board, to make a commencement by providing such. wider facilities for vernacular education, one of the results of which would be that the children of the poorer classes would be kept in school while their parents were at work. It is hoped to deal with this matter shortly and in the meantime it is considered in, expedient to legislate regarding the employment of children.
There were no minutes on the
letter and the Chairman was about to proceed with the next business
when Mr Alabaster said "I move the letter be read."
"
The Chairman: It has been circulated. It is a loog latter, but it can be read.
Mr Alabaster: This is a public meeting and it was circulated privately.
The letter was then read.

The Boche has once more proved that he is no sportsman. That is the lasting impression left by the visit by two German foot- ball teams to Stockholm. That these visits ever took place WAR very largely due to the lamentable fact that the proposed tour of the English football players was not carried out. The Swedes, longing for real international football, had looked forward to the visit of the English teams as the great event of the coming season. Every thing was prepared for giving the latter a most bearty welcome, and the whole football season had been arranged and timed on the basis of
