while othere are under treatment in the Hoihow Mission Hospital.

In early every market town and cer tally in all the walled towns of Hainan ¿here are old cannon which are so destroyed by rust that it would be highly dangerous for any ons to use them, and get any foolish villagers who wish can get possession of them, and endanger the lives -of many people.

Wo lan that the mining concession which is developing the tin mines in the Tam-chan District of Hainan, have proced- ed so far that they are anured of success; and they are now planning to open a road from their mines near Nodon to a harbour or the Lam-ko lighthouse va the west coast of Hainan. From there they propose to can steam launches to Hoihow. As that part of Hainan has in the past been much disturbed by pirates, it is hoped that the opening of the mines may be for the benefit, not only of the mining company, but for other departments at the trado of the friend.

We hear of the opening of many new schools. There is, however, danger shoad for Chiasso popular education." for the village people generally say it is of no nee to have village selrools; for nono pan get degras except those who can afford to gh to the big schools opened by the officials. If popular government is to be introduced into China it abould certainly begin with the village schools which have always been managed by the people where they have been located,

The Middle School at Kiungehow is the lugirest :chool in Hainan. It has hereta. lore been conducted as a boarding school with about tan hundred residens students. The head of the school now desires to have the studente board in the town and to enlarge the number in attendance to about ik kundred.
