" RESCUED, REFORMED, RESTORED."
[To THE EDITOR or THE "SPECTATOR."'
Sta,—As Treasurer of the Special Appeal Fund of the Philanthropic Society's Farm School, Redhill, which is doing such national work in the reclamation of young lads, I trust you will not think I am presuming on your good nature in sending you the War Service Record of what our old boys are doing for their King and Country. The enormously increased expenditure absolutely necessary to feed and clothe our growing family of three hundred lads compels us reluctantly to appeal again for help in our present serious financial straits. I think the record of the work done by the lads is a sufficient guarantee that our funds have been well spent in the
post.—I em, Sir, Sr., JOUR HART. Lochineer, Little Heath, Potters Rae.
