' LAND IN TRUST.
I was asked-the other day whether the National Trust would be glad to have • a certain grove and valley (where buzzards and ravens nest) bequeathed to them at some future date. Such a question has been put more than once ; and perhaps it would be well if the Trust, whose property increases at a gratify- . ing rate, could let their general ,policy be known. , It is obviously a good thing that the National Trust, whose service "does not abide our question," should hold as much land as possible, as the most deeply engrooved individualist will welcome it not Iess warmly, than the land nationalizer. The number of people who would like to leave bits of land to the Trust is, I believe, large ; and it seems likely that the Trust will be almost foreed.by moral compulsion—to extend itself greatly; and to receive a larger and larger amount of national support.
