The National Trust now controls property in thirty-six counties. In
Surrey alone it is lord of sixteen separate pieces of ground. Its advance is most thoroughly welcome, both because it preserves places and buildings most worth pre- serving and because its accelerating progress is sign and symbol of the will of the people to preserve the 1 English things in England. One of the best examples of private energy is the Norfolk Naturalists"f rust, which held its annual meeting last week. It works in association with the National Trust in certain directions, and deserves the interest of every lover of birds as of the county of Norfolk. It admir- ably squares the duties of hospitality and protection. It has. for example, undergone a heavy expense in the repair of Dial House at Brancaster, and this is primarily a guest house for those who desire the privilege of entering the enchanted sanctuaries thereabouts. It is no wonder that the membership of this 'ire Trust is overflowing the bo laries of East Anglia. The Secretary's address is Surrey Street, Norwich.
