Recent experience has shown that concentration of expo sur e infection on a certain group of individuals increases the incidence of venereal disease. Medical examination is useless from the Public health point of view, and any slight advantage that there might be if concentration and examination did not mean a larger number of expo- sures to infection within the given goup, become distinct disadvantage

Txamination of prostitutes and their concentration in a given area resulta in a concentration of exposure to infeation within that

aret.

The contention that clandestine prostitution increased with the suppression of the recognised centres is not borne out by experience.

We therefore recommend that the existing laws be enfo roed, and that brothels should be abolished. We would especially recommend that those in the immediate vicinity of the soldiers' homes, senfarera' institutions, and the Seamen's Institute should be removed.

We understand that the brothel is as much an offence to Chinese as do Western ethical teaching, and that oncentrated promiscuity is

a custom adopted from the West. When the public health danger of the present brothel is understood we are convinced that Chinese opinion will also support their removal,

Registration of Prostitutes.

With the idea of controlling the kidnapping trade every girl who goes into a brothel is seen and registered by the Secretary for Chiner Affairs or one of his representatives. The girl is asked if she wish-

ea to adopt the life in order that they may be certain she is not bein -g froed into it, The only way of judging the age of the girl is

from the interview at the Oo vemment office. There is no social

told by the

worker making enquiries na to the accuracy of any story

girl or her keeper.
