Sir Arthur Pearson is gone, but the great work that

he began at St. Dunstan's for the sailors and soldiers blinded in the War is being carried on with unabated vigour by his widow, his son and his friends. The seventh annual report of the Blinded Soldiers' and Sailors' Care Committee, issued under the title of A Little Journey to the Homes of Soldiers and Sailors Blinded in the War, deserves attentive reading, and should bring many additional subscriptions to the funds. It is good to read of the thoroughly practical way in which the blind men are being taught trades, found homes and assisted to start in business for themselves. St. Dunstan's deserves every encouragement.
