cases, and 47 women and children were sent to these institutions. The number of inmates in the Po Leung Kuk on the 31st December was 72, and the average number of inmates each month was 66.
The usual tables showing the income and expenditure during the year and the assets and liabilities of the Society are attached. The accounts of the Elected Committee have again been audited by Messrs. Ku Fai-shan and Chiu Chau-sam. The balance to the credit of the Society on the 31st December was $18,174 of which $15,000 is on fixed deposit with Chinese Banks.
The actual expenditure for the year was $10,890 as against $11,058 in 1910. The subscriptions amounted to $8,134 as against $8,685 in 1910.
The health of the inmates has unfortunately not been so good as in 1910. In July and August there was an outbreak of mumps, which was followed in September by an epidemic of measles. In February there was a mild case of small-pox but immediate isolation was effective in preventing contagion.
In all 35 cases were sent to the Tung Wa Hospital, most of which, exclusive of the infectious cases, were suffering from minor ailments and soon returned to the Po Leung Kuk cured.
Dr. Perkins, M.D., the lady doctor attached to the London Mission, was appointed honorary medical adviser to the Po Leung Kuk.
The matron and other members of the staff have given satisfaction.
In March Mr. Brotherton Harker was appointed Visiting Justice in place of Mr. F. Maitland who resigned.
The Po Leung Kuk was visited twelve times during the year, on each occasion by two Justices. Only on one occasion did the Justices find anything to draw attention to—a case of measles which they considered should be more carefully isolated, and a girl who had just been admitted and was inconsolably miserable.
