SOCIAL TRAINING AND THE C.O.S.

[To THE EDITOR OF THE " SPECTLTOR."]

you allow me to add my testimony to that of Miss Tuke and Br. Janet Lane-Claypon regarding the value of the practical training given through the District Committees of the Charity Organization Society? The Ratan Tate Depart- ment of Social Science and Administration in the University of London has from the first sent students to work under the guidance of secretaries of the Society in all parts of London. The value of the experience thus gained is very great, and it is enhanced for the beginner particularly by the object-lesson afforded in all the Society's work of care, devotion, and

thoroughness.-1 am, Sir, &c., EDWARD J. Unwicx (Joint Head of the Department).
