To the Editor of the Nonra-Cutna Dairy News."
Sir,—We the undersigned would like to dispel certain misunderstandings in connexion with the so-called ''Registration of Chinese Servants' which, from the correspondence in the papers, evidently exist. We should like to make it clear in the first place that the measure is in no way compulsory. There would be no obligation on the part of the householder to register his servants nor on the part of the servants to register themselves. Possibly the term "registration" has been misinterpreted. What we have in mind 's a Servants Registry under Municipal auspices, through which the two parties concerned, namely, employers and employees, can be put in touch with each other, references checked, information as to previous service and character obtained, guarantees and medical examination arranged if required, etc. The institution of such a registry would obviously benefit both employers and servants.
