In America, and to a less-marked degree in American colouies, sport is regarded as part of the Stato and not infrequently the various State Governments take an official as well as sometimes a financial in- terest in games and the provision of playing fields. With the excep tion of the slums of great cities like Chicago and New York, the youth of the nation is seldom given the opportunity to complain that it cannot play games" on as count of their being no playing- fields. In England the Government leaves such inatters to private, en- terprise.

It would be difficult to find a better example of the British atti- tude to sport than exists in Hong Kong. Here we have any number of private clubs but no effort is made by the Government to pro vide recreational facilities for the general public. It is apparently not considered that sport, although a desirable activity for the averago man, is an essential in the process of turning out good citizens," Hence we have the distressful spectacle of hundreds of young people in Kowloon either forced to play in the streets or not to play at all, morely because all the available Iand has been sold or leased to private clubs. The Governinent nover thought of making it a con- dition of such lease that when the grounds were not being used by members of the clubs, they should be open to the general public. Or perhaps it was considered that such a stipulation would be unsatislac- tory.

If only there were some indica tion that official encouragement, and, if necessary, financial aid would be forthcoming, there is little doubt that quite a number of wealthy men who are fond of sport would do their best to en- courage games in the Colony, by purchasing land and laying it out for tennis courts, cricket pitches and football grounds. A splendid oxample in this direction has been set by Mr. Mow Fung, well-known as a patron of local sport, und the excellent park which he is build. ing on the Castle Peak Road shows that he has had the courage to put his ideas into practies.. Apart from the olubs devoted to cricket and tennis, there is very little provision made for sport on the Mainland, although the scope is illimitable.

He pointed out that the first step to take would be to veto all laging of snares, either acts of twigs smeared with any substance to catch birds. He upholds view that one cannot provent the villagers from killing or catching singing birds, if they have a mind' to do so, but they could be prevent. ed from definitely setting traps Lo make this business easier. Ha has some interesting photographs of medel bird sanctuaries in England and proposes to establish similar ones in the New Territories. He is keenly interested in the afore station of the countryside, and showed our representative statis- tics proving that certain species of wild birds made for insect-free woodlands. He has definite hopes of interesting the authorities in his new campaign.

BETTER THAN GYM!

Central British Pupils

Keep Cool

Pupils of the Central British School have found a new way of keeping at-and cool. Formerly it was the practica to hold open-air drill every morning before lessons commenced, but it was found that it, mada the children hot and un- confortable to do physical exercis in the sun and then go into their stuffy classrooms. The Headmaster, Mr. Nightingale, accordingly ap proached Mr. Hunt, the Secretary of the European YM.C.A., Kow loon, and asked permission for the children to use the "Y" swimming bath in the mornings. Pemission was willingly given and the pupils now go down to the baths soon after eight o'clock every day, under the charge of Miss Kaill, and get their exercise in a far pleasanter way than formerly.

HOME FOR OLD MAIDS

WEALTHY FARMER'S CYNICAL BEQUEST.

The bequest left by a wealthy farmer, of Un-Long, in the New Territories, is causing some merri- ment in the village. He has left his large and well-appointed house for the benefit of old maids," who can, under certain regulations, live in it free of all charges for the rest of their lives, His bequest has 'caused amusement, because,, say his friends, he will never get a woman to confess that she has given up ri ide of marriage. Only the very infirm will take advantage of his comfortable house and well cooked meals. It has been suggest- ed that the executors might modify the conditions to include widowa Then, it is said, there will be mir candidates.

INSP. TAYLOR

The many friends of Mr. Alexan- der Keith Taylor of the Sanitary Department will be glad to learn that he is making good progress at the Kowloon Hospital to which he was admitted yesterday afternoon.

Mr. Taylor was suddenly taken ill-and his condition at first gave considerable cause for anxiety but upon enquiry from the hospital last evening, we elicited the news that the patient was doing as well as could be desired.
