2. Of the above, 103 boys were dealt with as adults; 2 transferred to Victoria Gaol; 23 sent to the Aberdeen Industrial School, 4 of whom were subsequently expelled from the School; and two paid their fines before expiration of sentences.
3. During the year H.E. the Governor, and a number of ladies and gentlemen visited the Home from time to time.
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.
5. The general conduct of the boys was good. Many of the boys were in and out on remand several times. 20 boys committed to the Home had previous convictions, i.e. 11 for larceny, 8 for smuggling tobacco and one for Disorderly Conduct. There was no escape or attempt at escape during the year.
6. 83 boys were instructed in rattan work during the year. There is a Rattan Work Instructor on the Staff of the Home.
7. The general health of the boys was good. The following shows the record of sickness during the year:
Sent to Hospital 26
Treated for scabies 87
There was no case of Beri Beri. A number of cases of Trachoma were treated at the Home.
The Medical Officer visited the Home once a week and more often when necessary.
8. The staff of the Home includes 1 Chinese Lance Sergeant and 7 Chinese Constables. They escort the boys to and from the Courts, and when not so engaged, look after the boys in the Home and help to teach in the School. All these Police Officers have long service and their conduct during the year was good.
9. Twenty-three boys were sent to the Aberdeen Industrial School four of whom were subsequently for various reasons expelled therefrom. Some of these boys had served terms of detention in the Home. The majority of them have benefited and are doing well in the School.
The incorrigible offenders appear to be the pickpockets who find this mode of living much easier than any honest occupation.
