PRISONERS OF WAR : EDUCATIONAL APPEAL.

[To THE EDITOR Or THE " SPECTATOR.") FIR,—Will you kindly-allow me—in a few words—to thank those of your readers (and they not a few) who so generously responded to the appeal which I made, and which you so warmly supported, in your issue of April 13th ? The result has been a very welcome and substantial addition to our funds, and has evidenced once again the real value of. the service which the Spectator has keen able to render in the prosecution of our much-needed and ever-extending work.—I am, Sir, &c., ALFRED T. DAVIES, Mo. Director British Prisoners of War Book Scheme (Educational). Victoria and Albert Museum, South Kensington, S.W. 7.
