234. Most of the subsidised schools and unaided schools, numbering altogether over 1,000, have not been visited owing to lack of staff. The majority of them consist of one or more rooms in an old or newer tenement house with inadequate closet accommodation. As a rule, the teachers welcome inspection and advice.
235. A most important part of the work done by this branch was the teaching of hygiene. Lectures were given to Vernacular teachers.
236. Hygiene is a compulsory subject for English teachers and courses in this subject have been established at the Education Department's Technical Institute.
237. During Empire Health Week a health exhibition was staged in the Hall at Ellis Kadoorie School and was well attended.
238. The School Medical Officer has established at headquarters the beginnings of a health museum where are to be found posters, leaflets, pamphlets, lantern slides, etc., etc.
Labour Conditions.
239. There are no estates, plantations or mines and comparatively few large factories. The majority of the urban labouring classes are engaged in matters connected with commerce, shipping or public works and the bulk of the remainder find employment in shops or workshops or independent businesses. There is no need for recruitment of labour, the supply being sufficient to satisfy all demands.
240. Labourers find their own accommodation in the many tenements and lodging houses which exist in Hong Kong and Kowloon.
241. The Factories and Workshops Ordinance contains sections bearing on the health of factory workers. The Public Health and Buildings Ordinance also contains sections bearing on the health of factory workers.
242. Ordinarily there are no special arrangements for the medical care of labourers other than the Government Hospitals, the Chinese Hospitals, the Chinese Dispensaries and the Mission Hospitals. The total number of third-class beds in these institutions available for general diseases are about 1,000 or 1 to 750 approximately.
