4. Mr. Cheung Lo Kau of the Chinese Y.M.C.A. visits the Home on Wednesdays and gives religious instruction to the boys. The two Probation Officers also give one hour's instruction each week.

11. Sixteen Chinese boys were sent to the Aberdeen Industrial School. One of them ran away and was sent back to the Remand Home for a short time. He was then sent back to the Aberdeen Industrial School by the Magistrate.
