A copy of the annual report of the K.D.P. haa reached us and we take pleasure in bringing to public matico a few items of the excellent record of work it contains. Subscribers who would like to know more can get copies by applying to Miss A. D. Simon, lip Wongkashaw Gardens. The K.D.S. have changed their year to run from January 1 to December 31, so as to correspond with that of the Charity Organization Committee. It need hardly be said that the year was a busy one. Over and above ordinary activities the K.D.S. has now taken on an additional tenement house and is to build a Children's Convalescent Home this year. A site has been got on Hungjao Road, and nearly all the estimated cost of land and building (821,000) has been raised, but further sums will be needed for furniture and maintenance. A deserved tribute is paid to the late Mrs. F. L. Garner, whose death was a revere loss; also to District Nurse Warren, who paid and received 2,400 visits during the year. She unfortunately fell ill at the end of 1921, but during her absence the K.D.S. has luckily got the help of Miss Swinton. The records of the tenement house referred to above are too long te quote but very interesting and throw a startling light on the needs with which organized relief has to deal. The whole report is couched m very matter-of-fact, almost curt, lansuage—as if a report had to he got out, but the less said the better. That is the K.D.S. all over. But a very big bushel would be needed to hide its light.
