Miss M. W. Ward has had charge of the work in the Ho Miu Ling Hospital where she largely increased the efficiency of the male nurses in their work.

During the year the Hospitals lost one of their prominent sub- scribers by the death of Hon. Mr. Lau Chu Pak, to the members of whose family the condolences of the hospital Committee are pre- sented.

In the absence of the Hon. Mr. P. H. Holyoak, Mr. W. L. Patten- den kindly consented to act as chairman and took active interest. in the affairs of the Hospitals.

Messrs. Linstead and Davis have Kindly consented to take up the position of Treasurers to the Hos-i pitals. This is a contribution of the highest value.

Dr. Coxion To has again rendered most valuable service ati the Alice Memorial Hospital. During the past few months he has been unable to continue this service and Dr. T. C. Wang, whoi was formerly House-surgeon at the Ho Miu Ling and Nethersole. Hospitals, has kindly stepped into the breach to carry

on this im- portant work.

Dr. S. W. Phoon has continued to act as House-surgeon for the Nethersole and Ho Miu Ling Hos- pitals, where he has rendered steady and constant service which is highly valued.

The nurses in training have rendered efficient service, six of them have completed their train-) ing and passed the examination of the Midwives' Board and re- ceived their certifientes from the Board and the Hospitals.
