The Village Clubs Association, of 14a Iddesleigh House, Caxton Street,

S.W., has published a Report of the Conference which it held on November 10th last, and at which Sir Henry Rew, Mr. A. W. Ashby,Major David Davies, and Mr. J. Nugent Harris read papers on the work which the Association seeks to do. The papers and the debates to which they gave rise were of great interest, and the Report deserves a wide circulation. Village clubs conducted on the right lines are urgently needed, and the more rapidly they can be multiplied the better will it be for rural Britain. The Association exists for the purpose of assisting in the promotion of clubs, and it is in friendly co-operation with the Federation of Women's Institutes which is doing excellent work for the women in the villages.
