THE INDUSTRIAL RESERVE.

[To rex EDITOR OF ems ..Srecraros."1 Sth,—We feel we must express our gratitude to you for the extremely valuable article about the work of the Industrial Reeerve which appeared in your issue of June 12th. Such articles are of great benefit to the Reserve, as without pub- licity and the help of the newspapers such an association as ours is severely handicapped. As a concrete example of the good your article has done you will, we feel sure, be greatly interested to hear that, thanks to your reference to the fact that £150 was required to bring the workshops at King's College up to date for the benefit of their proposed vacation classes of instinction in munitions work, we have this week received a cheque for the whole amount from a generous lady living in the Midlands. We have also received smaller sums, which are being held over to see if more money is required. Please again allow us to thank you for the help you have given us, and we hope, through us, the country.—I am,
