(Continued from Page 1).

Moreover, the accommodation in the Asylum, which is now grandilo- quently described in the Estimates as a Mental Hospital, is most de- fective; the quarters being cramped and there being no proper exercise ground for the inmates.

in connection with the Hospital we desire also to suggest that there should be two resident Doctors, and thet more Chinese Probationer Nurses should be trained, if pos- gible.

"On a Smalt Scale"

We should like to add a few re- marka, on subjects cognate to the Hospital, namely, dispensaries and clinica.

In his interesting Report on Malaya, Ceylon and Java, which was presented to Parliament in Decem- ber, 1928, the Right Honourable Mr. Ormsby-Gore referred, to the excel- lent work which was being done in the Federated Malay States by travelling dispensaries, which "quite apart from their value to the sick population, have a tremendous pro- paganda value in inducing villagers to have recourse to diagnosis and treatment."

"The importance of adequate training in hygiene and preven tive medicine can hardly be overstated. Every practitioner in a tropical climate should be a sanitarian. The value of measures for the protection of the health of the individual and the community is well-recognis- ed in Malaya, where so many successful pioneer workers in the field of sanitation and anti- malaria measures have set an example throughout the East. It is remarkable, therefore, that
