Few persons have any idea of the multitude of Societies,
Unions, Leagues, Associations, philanthropist, propagandist, and dissemina- tive, which exist and increase yearly throughout Great Britain. Some plan, it has occurred to many, should be devised to enable these numerous Societies to work to greater effect and at smaller cost. An active movement in this direction, " The Society for Organizing Charitable Relief," is now working in London under the presidency of the Earl of Lichfield. Its efforts, however, relate only to societies denominated " charitable." Mr. R. Bailey Walker, of Queen's Park, Manchester, has lately been engaged in developing "an elementary plan of agency on behalf of all Societies, the adoption of which would tend gradually to securing greater success in the attainment of their aims, with increased efficiency, economy, and harmony."
