SIR,—If there is a home for old women in the

East End, where the chief occupation of the inmates is to sit " round a large room " and pray for death, would not the appointment of a new matron, or the resignation of the board of management, meet the situation better than pn Act authorising euthanasia, however desirable that may be for other kinds of sufferers ?—Yours faithfully, LEADER OF AN OLD PEOPLE'S CLUB.
