PREVENTION OF CRUELTY TO CHILDREN.
[To THE EDITOR OF THE " SPEOTATOR1
Sin,—Seeing your very favourable notice of the work of the "National Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Children," it occurs to me that some of your readers, willing to assist in so good a work, might be glad to know that the Society pub- lishes an " Aid Committee Directory," which gives every in- formation as to how Aid Committees in connection with the National Society are formed in provincial towns.
About three years ago, a letter appeared in the Spectator stating how much the Society needed subscribers, and in response I became one : previous to that our Stipendiary Magistrate was the only contributor in Birmingham. He assisted me in forming a local committee, by getting Lord Leigh as the president, and we are now dealing with two hundred to three hundred cases per annum, and are this year raising about 2400 towards the national funds.
The Rev. B. Waugh, the Hon. Director, 7 Harpur Street, Bloomsbury, London, would, I know, be glad to furnish required information to those interested.—I am, Sir, &c., CHAS. G. HUSBAND.
Westbury, Radnor Road, Ilandsworth, Birmingham, May 11th.
