Letters to the Editor
[In view of the length of many of the letters which we receive, we would remind correspondents that we often cannot give space for long letters and that short ones are generally read with more attention. The length which we consider most suitable is about that alone of our paragraphs on "News of the Week."—Ed. SrEcraroa.]
THE NEW NATIONAL SERVICE
[To the Editor of the SPECTATOR.] SIR,— I 'wish to give the strongest support to the call to Service which has been made- by my brother The Prince of Wales. In particular, is President of the National Association of Boys' Clubs, I would like to urge the necessity of the development of the work of that Association and its affiliated Federations and Clubs. These Clubs are one' of the most valuable and practical means of providing for the mental and physical development of the working boy, upon whose character and efficiency in later life the future of the Nation 'so largely depends.
It is a matter of regret to me to learn that many of the Clubs are not receiving the personal support which they so richly deserve, and I trust that not only will more help be given to established Clubs but also that a .strong effort will be made to form new- Clubs in areas where they do not now exist but are urgently needed. HENRY. Buckingham Palace.
[We understand that those wishing to assist in Boys' Club work should apply to their nearest Boys' Club, the address of which, f not known, will be given on application to the National Association of Boys' Clubs, 27 Bedford Square, London. W.C.1.—En. Spectator.]
