2. Of the 1,109 boys, 20 were dealt with as adults. Boys were remanded back 733 times by the police magistrates, for enquiries by the probation officers. There was no attempt at escape from the Home. One boy escaped from police custody while being escorted to the Home but was later re-arrested. 22 boys were admitted to the Queen Mary hospital, mostly for fever. 85 boys were treated in the Home for scabies. 726 were vaccinated. 420 were inoculated against cholera. Cases of minor injury and sickness were treated in the Home. Visits by the doctor were made once a week, and at other times if required. The general conduct of the boys was good. During the year 14 boys were sent to the Aberdeen Industrial School and 3 boys to Tai Po Rural Orphanage. 14 boys were sent to the China Youth Society.
3. Mr. Cheung Lo Kau, C.Y.M.C.A. gave lectures to the boys once a week, but there is now no representative of the C.Y.M.C.A. to carry on these lectures. The two probation officers also gave lectures.
4. 106 boys were instructed in rattan work during the year.
5. Various Government officers and members of the Society for the Protection of Children visited the Home during the year.
6. 13 boys were serving a second sentence for larceny offences.
2 boys were serving a third sentence for larceny offences. 1 boy served a second sentence for begging. The detentions have been running very high throughout the year, this was owing to the number of juveniles convicted for larceny from the person, and receiving 6 month sentences. A number of these, especially the ear-rings-snatchers were recommended for banishment, as undesirables.
