We have received a highly interesting and encouraging account of
the Enham Village Centre, near Andover, from the Village Centres Council for the curative treatment and training of disabled men. In their third Annual Report, published at 10, Upper Woburn Place, the Council state that 510 men were admitted during the past year, while 366 were discharged. Four out of five of those who left Enham were fit to take employment in the trades which they had been taught, such as boot-repairing, cabinet-making or french poli.ihing. Nothing could be better than the general scheme which is being worked out at Enham, where disabled men regain their health and at the same time receive training in pleasant rural surroundings. Some of the men have settled at Enham, but most of them go back to their own districts. The centre ought to be better known. The chaplain states that a chapel is needed, as the services have to be held in the village institute.
