In August the services of the Portuguese matron were dispensed with, and Mrs. Leung Hee from the Italian Convent was engaged. Her management has proved successful; the Home is neat and clean, and the great majority of the girls seem cheerful and happy. Attention has been paid to lessons and needlework. A quantity of the latter found a ready sale at the charity bazaar.
We have, &c.,
EDWARD A. IRVING,
Acting Registrar General, President.
