A report presented to the annual'con- ference of the Association of Headmis-

The annual meeting of shareholders of Messrs. S. Moutrie & Co, Ltd, was held at "the company's office, 37, Nankingtresses of Acton stated that "much Road, Shanghai, recently, Dr. W. J. Isedman presiding..

discontent and unrest was caused by the disinclination shown in many càlings to allow women to rise beyond modest posi- tions."

During the couro of his speech the CHAIRMAN "Baid:-I desire to refer with great regret to the retirement from the Women secondary teachers, it was de clared, were impressed by the hindrances Board of Sir E. C. Pearce and Mr. A. Ewhich met their pupils in the business of

Pain.

Sir Edward joined the Board shortly after the formation of this Company, and had been its Chairman since the year 1901, therefore he has been largely re- sponsible for the growth of the Company and bringing it to the sound condition it is in to-day. Mr. AE. Faine also contributed in no small measure to the success of the Company, especially dur. ing the term, he held the position of Managing Director, and it is with regret that we were compelled to accept his re- signation on account of private affairs which necessitated his return to England. I am sure you will all join with me in wishing both these gentlemen a well de- served rest, and a happy retirement at

home.

On the retirement of Mr. Paine in March last, Mr. W. S. Watson was, ap- pointed to succeed him, and your Direc- tors have every confidence in his success- ful management of the Company's affairs, owing to his long service with the Com pany and close business association with Mr. Paine.

The year under review has not been an easy on your Directors having much that demanded their close attention and as a consequence nearly doubled their work, but with commensurate results you will no doubt agree. On account of the local general strike, our factory Chinese employees absented themselves from work for a period of close on four months, but I am pleased to state, however, that with the aid of our foreign employees we were able to maintain an output at our factory sufficient to take care of the needs of both our wholesale and retail

"

THEIR OBJECTIONS. "Many girls, however, expected to work unreasonably short, hours, and objected to beginning as early as 9 a.m.

Good posts, with good prospects, had been frequently refused for such a trivial reason.

A frequent complaint was the weak- ness of girls in arithmetic. In one case an important Woolwich firm offered an excellent opening in special figure work, and the six girls specially selected for interviews failed in the tests. The firra was therefore compelled to give up the idea of employing girls on this work.

FALSE MARRIAGE NOTICES.

INCREASED PENALTIES UNDER

LAW NOW IN FORCE.

Increased penalties for false notices of marriage and false statements in connec tion with the registration of births and deaths have come into force in England, and certain provisions of the Criminal Justice Act, 1995, are now operative.

The maximum penalty is increased to £50 and proceedings may be taken at LDY time within twelve months.

Regarding marriage proceedings may be taken against any person who makes a false oath or makes or signs a false declaration notice or certificate, makes or causes to be made for the purpose of being inserted in any register of mar riage a false statement, br forbids the It is with great satisfaction that your issue of any certificate or licence for mar. Board have the pleasure of placing before you to-day such a report and statement riage by falsely representing himself to be of accounts, in view of the troublous person whose consent to the marriage times just referred to, and which I trust is required by law knowing such repre

sentation to be false. you will view as eminently satisfactory. The result of the 12 months' business shows a balance standing at the credit of profit and loss account of 885,161.08 which sum includes a carry forward from the previous year's working of 818,577.41 but less the 820,487,50 paid as an interim dividend of 5 per cent last November.
