The many readers of the Spectator who support voluntary housing
societies in this country will find Mr. Speake's little book, entitled War Against Stunts, of exceptional interest. The Prince of Wales, who has done so much for housing conditions in South London, was " much interested to see a copy." The Archbishop of York wrote on October 6th, " think this review of all the enterprises which have been set on foot will provide the stimulus and guidance to many others whose sympathy is being aroused." The book does not give a complete list of all voluntary societies, but contains many facts and suggestions which are of real value. The price is 2s. and the book can be obtained through any bookseller. Mr. Spealse is Sanitary Inspector at Shrewsbury, and is giving freely of his time and experience in promoting the crusade against slums. The publishers are Messrs. Adnitt and Naunton, Ltd., The Square, Shrewsbury.
