Tribute to Her Work in the Shantung Road Hospital A very pleasing, though in some aspects a sad, ceremony took place last Friday morning in the matron' office of the Shantung Road Hospital, when the Chinese Staff, male and female, presented Mrs. Daventhor with a beautiful silver plaque, tastefully engraved in Chinese with the words, "Loving others as you love yourself," in remembrance of liber long years of service ard friend ship, with her husband, Dr. Davenport, who so recently passed away. All of the Chinese Staff who could be spared from duty crowded into the room, together with Dr. Fowler, the Acting Medical Superintendent, and others of the foreign staff.
Dr. Tsang, one of the senior doctors who had worked with Dr.
Davenport from very early days, in making the presentation, spoke with much feeling of the many 1 of those present had and Mrs.
Davenport in the hospital, during which thousands of his' fellow countrymen had received inestimable benefit from their hands. Such goodness would never be forgotten. In all of these good deeds Mrs. Davenport had been a help both in the home and in the hospital, and [they wished her to carry away this ttle memento to remind her.of many days of useful service spent in China.
Mr. Tong, head of the shroff's Jdepartment, also added a few words expressing the hope of all that Mrs. Davenport would be able to return China.
Mrs. Davenport in her reply thanked the Staff for their kindness, reminded them that her band had practically given his life for the Chinese, and urged them to remain faithful and true to the hospital which had done and was still doing so much for their fellow countrymen.
The incident, simple and spontaneous as it was, is another proof of the kindly friendly feeling obtaining in many British institutions between the members of the Chinese and foreign sta.
The sympathy and best wishes of thousands of Chinese and foreign friends will go with Mrs. Davenport and her daughters as they eave Shanghai next Tueeda We understand the Chinese Staff have also, on their own initiative, subscribed a good sum of money wherewith to place a lasting me-Jmorial of Dr. Davenport's years of service, in the proposed hospital.
