7 Boys are at St. Louis Industrial School.
The funds of the Club on December 31st amounted to $3,026.83.
The boys employed as messengers are encouraged to save $2 a month from their pay. Other boys save at the rate of 5 cts. per day or more as their funds permit. They have saved $333.00 during the year.
During the summer months the boys attended bathing once each week at Kau Pak Hang Bathing Beach. 12 Boys took part in the Police Aquatic Sports held at the V.R.C. Baths in September and all displayed great keenness. A polo ball has been provided which makes the bathing parties more interesting.
During the winter months hot baths have been provided at Police Headquarters.
From September all available boys attended the C.Y.M.C.A, twice weekly and have taken part in Games, Drill and Gymnastics under instructors. All appear very keen.
A ping pong table has been installed in the Club premises and the boys enjoy the games.
On February 1st, thanks to the enterprise of Mrs. Southorn, a school was started at the Club for English and Chinese Classes 3 nights a week, one hour Chinese and one hour English. The average attendance at each Chinese and English Class was 16 and 17 boys respectively. Progress in Chinese has been good and the boys are now learning the 4th book of the Hong Kong Vernacular Reader. Progress in English is fair.
During the year each boy employed selling goods on the streets has been supplied with 2 winter and 3 summer suits, one pair of boots, one pair of long knitted stockings and 2 singlets. Kit inspection is held on the last Saturday of each month. The boys look after their clothing and appreciate the kindness of the donors.
During the year the following have visited the Club premises and taken a great interest in the welfare of the boys, Inspector General of Police, Mr. King, Mrs. Southorn, Mrs. Creasy, Colonel Christian, Mr. Tang Shui Kin, Mr. Perdue, Mrs. Kotewall and Mr. Kwok Chui.
The Club premises remain at No. 40 Hollywood Road 3rd floor not far from Police Headquarters. Police Sergeant Fung Kam resides on the premises and attends to the welfare of the boys.
Discipline and conduct of the boys are good.
