The old woman, battle of life. For a boy who has passed through the whole curri- culum here should leave as a fully qualified craftsman with a sound primary education to help him, on his way. If he is of the right stuff he should have little to fear.

HOUSING REFORM

"But there is a further point which I wish to make. Many of the boys in this school came, as you know, as juvenile offenders, caught by the police and sent here by the Magistrates. Those boys when they were born were no more criminally. inclined than others: they are the unfortunate product of slum surroundings. Every man is, to a great extent, the creature of circumstances and of the conditions in which he is rear- ed, and it is inevitable that slum Hre must lead directly to slum minds and slum morals. Children are not naturally vicious, indred I am firmly convinced that the op- posite is the case; but vice is an easier path than virtue and the hard, the intensely hard, life of the slums services to turn many a child down it. Clearly the remedy is not reformatories for our children but the reform of housing conditions in Victoria and elsewhere in Hong Kong.

Other survivors of the fighting have been discovered in the, east- ern district in recent weeks, often suffering from beribert owing to improper diet, and as often in a state of inanition as well. Besides, many bodies of starved Chinese have been found, particularly in the Kashing Road area,-“N.C.D. .New."
