Future Possibilities. Another paragraph in the report caught my eye and I expect many others will also notice it-that is the one referring to the furnished room in Kowloon.. Surely this is a beginning in the right direction and must develop into something far niore pretentious, than "a furnish- ed room in Kowloon to which mar- ried couples or women and children can be sent in urgent cases." Here is a scheme, with vast possibilities and I think many of us. hope to hear much more about it în next year's Report.
