What Shall We Do with Them ? (Nisbet and Co.)

—" Them" refers to the overtasked and invalided workers who are fainting under the burdens of life, for whom the rest for which they cannot pay is a necessity. To provide sea-side "hones," where these weary labourers may freely or cheaply obtain thepossibility of recruiting their strength, is becoming more and more an imperative duty. The object of Miss Corke's book is to draw attention to the able management of at least one. such home, and though we cannot commend the style in which she has executed her task, we wish the cause she has at heart abundant success.
