THE CHARITY ORGANIZATION SOCIETY APPRAJ.. [To THE EDITOR of THE
" SPECTLTOR."]
SIR,—I have been asked to convey to you the sincere thanks of the Charity Organization Society for the great kindness which you have shown in placing your columns at the disposal of an appeal on its behalf, The Society's task in these days is not easy. Those who are trying, however inadequately, to fight against the demoralizing effects of indiscriminate relief, and to urge the pressing need of closer co-operation between the statu- tory and voluntary agencies which aim at improving social conditions, greatly need, and are well able to appreciate, the value and the generosity of such encouragement as yours. There can be no doubt that the articles and letters which have appeared in your columns have helped materially to make our work better understood.
May I say one word more? The interest arousNI has not been
wasted. Your appeal has been liberally met. And we cannot sufficiently thank those who have responded to it. But, though the appeal may not be repeated, I may perhaps be allowed to add that the financial position of the Society is still a cause of serious anxiety to its friends, and that we should heartily welcome any further subscriptions and donations sent to the Hon. Treasurer of the Charity Organization Society at Denison House, Vauxhall Bridge Road, S.W. 1.—I am, Sir, &c.,
H. L. WOOLLCOMBE.
