THE SHAFTESBURY HOMES AND " ARETHUSA "

The eighty-ninth annual meeting of the Shaftesbury Homes and 'Arethusa' training ship took place recently in London. The chairman and treasurer, Mr. Francis H. Clayton, Lord Lloyd of Dolobran, the Right Rev. C. H. Golding-Bird, and the Right Hon. Lord Daryngton were among the speakers. As Bishop Golding-Bird said : We read every day in our newspapers about investments for our money : I cannot conceive a better gilt-edged investment than an investment in the young life of our country to-day." Will those readers of the Spectator who have any surplus money, and are not sure- what to do with it, invest it in supporting one of these little ones, where the yield will be immeasurable? All gifts should be addressed to the secretary, 164 Shaftesbury Avenue, London, W.C. 2.
