(To THE EDITOR OF THE " SPECT&TOR."1

recent article in your paper entitled " The Bond of Letters," followed by a letter from Lady Dunboyne, causes ins to invite the attention of your readers to the work of the National Home-Reading Union, whose aims are substantially those in which both writers are interested. The National HomeReading Union exists to guide readers of all ages and classes in the wise choice and use of books; to provide a means of continuous education; to group readers where possible in circles for mutual help and interest, and to unite them as members of a great reading guild. Its main work is among the nation at home and also in several of the overseas Dominions. During the war its activities extended, in close co-operation with the Y.M.C.A., not only among munition workers in this country, but amongst the forces both in Great Britain and in France, particularly in camps and military hospitals. The Union's thirty-first session is now about to begin, and full information as to work and methods will be gladly supplied by the Secretary, 12 York Buildings, W.C. 2, to

any one interested.—I am, Sir,&c., J. W. Maczam, Chairman of Executive Committee. 12 York Buildings, .4dclphi, 11-.C. 2.
