[To THE EDITOR OF TEX " SPECTATOR."]
Sin,—I venture to appeal. to your readers on behalf of the two Committees of the Charity Organisation Society in West Ham to which I am attached as organising secretary. At most C.O.S offices there is a serviceable library of books bearing on economics, sociology, , and charitable administration, and such a library is essential in any office which aims• as ours does at training workers, In this borough, however, the need of the poor is so great that we do not feel justified in spending any money on the purchase of books.
