CHILDREN'S COUNTRY HOLIDAYS FUND.
[To THE EDITOR OP THE " SPECTATOR."] Siu,—Now that the countryside in England is so beautiful, may I appeal to those of your readers who can enjoy it at their will to think of the London child in August ? The Children's Country Holidays Fund has had to warn its com- mittees all over London that unless more money comes in it will be impossible to send away as many children as last year, and yet last year, although 46,402 children were sent, this was only about seven per cent. of the London elementary school population. The machinery needed is complete. An army of 2,764 volunteers is ready to deal with as many children as can be sent, so that every penny now subscribed is entirely spent for the holiday of the children. Your readers have in the past been generous to us. Will they not help us again?' Subscriptions can be sent either to the Hon. Treasurer, Lord Arran, or to myself at the offices of the Children's Country Holidays Fund, 18 Buckingham Street, Strand, W.C.—I am,
Chairman of Executive Committee.
