LOCAL QUACKS
We were hoping that the recent cases against unregistered dentists implied a decision on the part of the authorities to start a campaign with the view to ridding the Colony of the large number of quacks who set themselves up as members of the dental profession. After the cases were heard, it was stated by a correspondent that there must be fully a hundred auch men prae- tising in Hongkong. If we are to judge from the large number of signs, such as crude representa tions of false teeth, which we sce in various parts of the city, this is probably no over-statement of the facts. Moreover, itinerant dentists are to be observed avery day mov in about the Chinese districts- men who are obviously not quali fied.

Thi will not be regretted quite so much to-day as it would have been a few years ago.
Until recently, though a Scottish or a Yorkshire accent was regarded with a cer- tain amount of respect, cockney- ism was deplored on all sides. Though to roll one's "r's" in the Scots manner till they rattled like drums was considered a pleasing and amiable habit, to drop them partly out in the cockney way was almost unforgivable. Or late years, however, a change has be- gun to take place. The cockney dialect has moved up in the esteem of the learned, AC a revent Oxford COUTU une of the loc-
