The monthly subscription does not Į imply that the same amount must be

Of the three "banoklets I enelose, thie. 191 report of St. Dunstan's is shchy a very tam and plain, statement of what is being accomplished that I hardly know how to better it. All I know that to one who has worked here all these months it is a wonder work, anf mast the mets realise the vary, rut debt they owe to Sir Arthur Pearson and, St. Dunstans. And their opinion is that the success is due to its head-Sir Arthur Pearson-being: blind himself so thoroughly under- standing what is necessary for their bappiness and welfare, and also the! difficulties they work under. As a whole they are suspicious and jealous: when we come, to work here we are warned of these fallings and to make allowances for them. "If there is any thing I can tell you that would be of interest to you please at the know and I will do my best, but it is very difficult to put on paper the wonderful recently wite atmosphere at the place and the un
