BRITISH PRISONERS OF WAR AND THEIR NEEDS. Fro THE EDITOR

Or THE " SPECTATOR.") Sin—The British Prisoners of War Book Scheme (Educational) is urgently in need of a few workers (ladies or gentlemen) who would be willing to help (a) in making up parcels of books to meet the requests which are coming to hand in increasing numbers from officers and men in the numerous internment camps abroad. or (b) in packing them. Packers are specially needed, and help is that department will be welcomed from those who cannot give their whole time to war work. The work of selecting the book. from the shelves takes a little time to learn, so that offers of help in that section of the book-rooms should be for a period of sow duration : it is, however, work that appeals to many and offers an interesting field of national service, particulerly to persons of wide general information. Offers of service should be addressed to me at the Board of Education, Victoria and Albert Muaettin, South Kensington, S.W. 7.—I am, Sir, Ac.. A. T. DAVIES.
