AN APPEAL
[To the Editor of the SPECTATOR.]
SIR,—The best results in social reform are obtained by con- structive individual work. Will one of your readers who knows the blessedness of home life make this possible for five families, now living in verminous misery, by purchasing the freehold of a house in one of London's poorest areas, for t450 ? The shell is good, and management on Octavia Hill lines would soon bring happiness and comfort to the home and health to the children. If, supplementing the public and private building schemes, each who could, would make a good home life possible for the families in one house in a poor area, London would soon be transformed. I will most gladly give all details to anyone interested.=I am, Sir, &c., (MISS) EDITH NEVILLE.
Mary Ward Settlement, Tavistock Place, W.C.
