Sale of Boys and Girls Branded as
 an Abominable Scandal

London, March IS. The sale of boys and girls at Hong Kong has heen denounced as ''an abominablc scanda in a British possession" at a meeting of the Anti-Savery Abort zines Protection society here.
 St. l.oe Strachey, editor Of the Spectator, wrote that if the facts were as represented, the state Of affairs in Hong Kong represented the yileN form of slavery in existence when young people were deliberately sold and subjected to the cruel lust and greed of their purchasers.
 Amounts To Slavery ..
 resolution was passed declaring that continuance Of the system amounted to the connivance of slav- cry under the British flag.
 It was estimated at the meeting that those held in bondage under this system numbered 50,ooO.
 score of societies were represent ed at the conference which was held to determine what steps should be taken to stop the sale of children.
 Condition Unbelievable
 Viscountess Gladstone who presid- cd declared that the system ought to he abolished She said she did not think that any British man or woman could have believed it possible that anywhere under the British flag chil- dren four years of age and upward could been openly sold and handed over as chattcls to their purchasers to become drudges or victims of pros titution
 She said, however, that the matter was not so simple as it looked because the adoption" system was not a wrong thing in itself
 An Established Fact s
 Charles Roberts, formerly under secretary for India and president of the anti-slavery society. said it was an established fact that Chinese girls and boys were sold and bought in Hong Kong at from $1O to $15 per year of age and it was a significant tact that higher prices were obtain able when girls were sold for pur- pose of prostitution. Yet they could not get the colonial office to admit that the system was one of slavery It was enough for him that it consti futed traffic in human beings which ought to be put down by law.

The question of housing the schoo children this coming fall was discuss cd by members of the school commit tee at meeting of that body he'c last evening in the office of the towr clerk
 Reports submitted by various mem CTS showed that it is absolutely necessary that there be more room i7 the Berlin schools next year. There is nothing available al the present time that can be used for school room purposes, it is claimed, and that even though q new school Is bul't immediately, more room Will be needed for pupils in September.
 Two reasons were outlined for the need of more room. One was the fact that the Junior High school will be lsrger next year. The classes at the school have, increased within the past year and the school has been great ho ding power. Figures of the sup erintendent show that once pupil enters the school he or she usually concludes the three year course.
 The second reason outlined for the
  fact that the entering classes Of th's year were reduced in number last fall because of the fact that the board made the ruling compelling children to be six years of age before going to school. This evidently means tl9t several having reached that age will enter this coming tall members claim.
 An increase is also looked forward to in the outlying district schools
