CHARITY ORGANISATION SOCIETY.
fro THE EDITOR OF THE " SPECTATOR."1 SM.—Having been a subscriber to the Charity Organisation Society for some years, and having derived much benefit from the use of its tickets, I should like to call the attention of your readers to the method which I have adopted.
On each ticket I write my name and address, with a request that the Society will report to me the case of the person to whom the ticket is given ; and I tell that person that if I get a favourable report, I will send the Society a present for him or her, as the case may be. Of course, in the many cases of im- posture the tickets are not delivered ; but by this means I have been enabled to give help in the few deserving cases. This method supposes that the public are willing to help deserving eases, and that they only need the help of the Society to carry out the inquiry which they so often cannot make themselves.—
