ORGANIZERS' CLEARING-HOUSE.
(To THE EDITOR or THE " SPEcTAToa."1 Sra,—We have reason to believe that there is in the country a supply of talent and energy available for useful work which at present is either unable to find an outlet for its capacity or is misapplied. The need for perfecting and assisting existing organizations is generally admitted, and there is evidence on every hand that the volume of new work to be undertaken is destined to increase. In the stress of war the obvious need for a Clearing-House and Intelligence Department for the Organizer has been overlooked. In the conviction that such a machine is useful and necessary both for the workers and for those who employ them, we have opened an Organizers' Clearing-House with the following objects : (1) To act as Consulting Organizer; (2) to provide—and, if necessary, to superintend—Organizers to assist useful work which is already being done; (3) to provide—and, if necessary, to superintend—Organizers for new work; (4) to help " square pegs " into " square holes "; (5) to collate information about the scope and activities of existing organizations so that those who desire to give their assistance may be guided in the right direction. Organizers and Secretaries of Associations, Leagues, and similar Societies are asked to send any information about their work and requirements, which they may desire to be at hand for reference, to the Secretary of the Organizers' Clearing- House. Those who want employment in the higher grades of organization work are invited to apply in writing to the Secretary, stating their previous experience, qualifications, salary, and nature of work desired. Suggestions from those to whom the plan of the Clearing-House appeals will be welcome and should be addressed to the Secretary.—We are, Sir, &c., CHICHESTER; BERCI; F. P. WHITBREAD; A. E. OWEN, Chairman—Committee. Prater CREED, Chief Organizer.
Parliament Mansions, Victoria Street, S.W.
[Unquestionably an organization of this kind should do useful work. There is a very special need for (4).—ED. Spectator.]
