HOMECROFT SETTLEMENT FUND [To the Editor of the SPECTATOR.] Sin,—On

my return from abroad I find a misprint in the letter I sent you last month which somewhat alters my meaning. I wrote " I am delighted to read that Professor Scott is starting ' another Homecroft Settlement ' " and not " a Homecroft Settlement," meaning to imply that the thing in its essentials has been, and is being, done elsewhere. Where Professor Scott and the Editor of the Spectator are so much to be congratulated is that they are able to carry public opinion with them, whereas the rest of us have had to work against public opinion, and still find it extremely hard to gain any support.—I am, Sir, &c.,
