OPEN-AIR LIFE FOR CHILDREN [To the Editor of the SPECTATOR.]

SIB,—I was much interested a short time ago in the articles and letters published in the Spectator on the subject of open- :air schools. I am now searching for some such institution for a small girl of seven and a half years for whom the doctors recommend an open-air life, preferably in the Broadstairs area, in view of certain gland trouble. The child is peculiarly strong and healthy in every other way, and one naturally does not want to place her among sick children. I wonder if you know of any institution to which she might be sent ? It would have to be as a boarder as her parents cannot leave their present home.—I am, Sir, &c.,
