Tak Ying School for girls, also at Wanchai, by paying the fees of a number of the poorer girls attend- ing this school. During the nine months January to September, 1928, the subsidy to the Kai Lap School amounted to $720,00. Dur- ing the same period $115.26 was paid by the Society in school fees for girls at the Tak Ying School.

Under the hand of Education the Society spent during the nine months January to September, 1928, $180.82 for books and ata- tlonery, and $66.50 on tram, bus and ferry fares for poor children living at a distance from school. During the same period the expen- diture on tuition or board and tuition for poor children in Eng- lish teaching schools was $1,899.22, The total expenditure on education in 1927 was $4,453.01..

The establishment in Hongkong of an Industrial School by the Salesian Fathers is a considerable help to the Society in the difficult task of providing employment for the children of the poor. Without a training in any trade, and little or no knowledge of English, these young boys have hitherto had no qualifications to fit them for any but the most menial work.

St. Joseph's Home for Aged Poor, This Home was nasisted to the extent of about $2,000.00 per an- num by the Society before it was taken over by the Little Slaters of the Poor. As the rules of their

Order oblige these Sisters to beg each day for the maintenance of their charges, and do not allow them to have any fixed Income, the Suclely has not been called on to make any regular allowance to the Home during the period under report. $200.00 was, however, given as a donation, at Christmas, and $100.00 on St. Joseph's Day (19th March).

The Council desires again to record with gratitude the naelst- ance given to the Society by this Homo in receiving, as accommoda- tion permits, a number of aged Poor for whom, owing to their advanced age and feeble health, the Society is not in a position to provide the comforts which are found at the Home,
