There were fewer cases of small- pox during last week than since the first week in December. The num- ber reported was 67 and there were 58 deaths. Of the latter, 38 were from Kowloon and 20 from the Victorin registration district. All were Chinese, with the exception of one British imported caso.
Yesterday's return contained a further eighteen Chinese cases, eleven of which came from Kow- loon.

Addressing the gathering the Head Mistress of the School eald it was pleasant to have Mr. and Mrs. Southern with them at their prize-distribution, which was at important function for a School. Mrs. Sauthorn was an old friend of the School but Mr. Southern was only making his first visit and sho thanked him for the interest
he took.
The School report for the year was then read; after which, ad- dressing the gathering, Hon, Mr, Southern, said:
portunity for service you will con- fer a benefit on your people and you will bring honour to your school. (Applause.) "Opportuni ties" as Mr. Baldwin once said "will be ehown you, as life goes on, how best you may do your part. Look out for those opportunities and stretch out your hand to meet them." (Applause).
The Hon. Dr. R. H. Kotewall, also addressed the students, his
remarks causing much laughter. the girls at the end of the prize A short play was presented by
distribution.
"Misa Skinner, ladles and gentle- men and girls of Belillos Public School, I have listened with much Interest to the report of the school 1. during the past year and I offer my congratulations to you all and particularly to Miss Skinner and her staff on the fine record which the report discloses. (Applause). I noted with particular satisfac- tion the success which has attend- ed the introduction of Physical Training a feature of school life. whether for boys or girls on which modern educationists rightly lay much stress. Another feature of your school life which gives spe- cial pleasure to my wife and my- self is your very successful entry Into the Girl Guide movement (Applause) and I congratulate your 3rd Hongkong Company most heartily on winning the Prince of Wales' Banner after only one year's work. (Applause).. One Director of Education whom we knew told us that you could always tell a Girls' school which went in for Guiding by the general alert- ness of the pupils and by the wholesome atmosphere which always pervaded such schools, Now that Director was not Mr. Wood but I feel quite sure the two Directors would have agreed, for it is quite obvious that in Bellios School we have all the signs of a school that has imbibed the real Guide spirit.
School Activities.
I was very pleased to find that Miss Sldnner's report broke away from the traditional school report with its dreary list of academic achievements and, relegating these important but very dull details to a few paragraphs, gave us a lively picture of the school's activities during the year. Not the least of these is your social service work on the success of which I offer you all the heartiest congra- tulations. It is no small thing to be brought up in a tradition of unselfish service for others, and am more than delighted to learn from the report that the fine tradi- tion of Bellies School is worthily maintained by Its present pupili. It shows that you are being taught to appreciate the fact that to get the best out of your School life you must do something_more than merely learn lessons and pass examinations. Now don't imagine that I want to belittle the value of learning or to abate one jot of the praise which should rightly be given to those who win prizes. In spite of all people say to the contrary the prizes do generally go to those who work hardest and deserve them most; but I want you all, prizewinners and non-prize winners alike, to take something more out of your school life than more book knowledge and there is no nobler thing you can take away than the desire to help those who are loss fortunately situated. than yourselves, a spirit of un- selfish service for others which your practice of social service in your school cannot fall to on- courage. Here in Helilios, as Mies
Skinner has pointed out, we are breaking now ground in Chinese social life, and I only wish I could promise Miss Skinner those much needed accessories of her work, an Assembly Hall and playing felds, In recognition of the gust good work of her predecessors and herself for. I am quite sure that they would be used to amplify and improve the work now being done. I have no doubt your enthusiastic Director, himself an athlete of no small ropube, will investigate the possibilities and press them on the Government in duo season, I can assure you they will receive every possible consideration,
Emancipation of Women.
