The scheme which has emerged is that Government should pre- serve for public parks with children's playgrounds two open spaces, one in Victoria and the other in Kowloon.
Both the proposed areas adjoin congested districts, and any pos- sible doubts as to their potential recreative and hygienic value will be speedily dispelled by an evening visit to the existing Southorn Playing Ground at Wantchai.
The area selected for Victoria is the beautiful garden of the present Government Civil Hospital, which perial Society of Teachers of will no longer be required when the Ballroom Dancing, and
