All Residents Urged To Be Inoculated
89 Cases Up To July 7
Up to midnight on July 7, 89 cases of cholera had been discovered in Hong Kong, six of which had been imported from Macao Swatow and other Chinese ports also infected with cholera.
So far over half the number of persons taken ill with the disease have died and it is probable that the death-rate will exceed three in every five persons infected.

I listened with interest to what the Headmaster had to say about grants. It may be that the pre- sent system calls for review and I will take advice on the question: admittedly it goes to the root of the matter. What he had to say about physical training and hygiene I very strongly endorse: it was very pleasant, however, to hear the good account which he gave of the early days of physical training here.
