has grown apace, so much so that it is now spending at least $25,000 per. annum. The Government's yearly grant is only $5,000, so it is obvious that there is great need of outside support. Actual- ly, for the first five months of the present financial year, penditure has exceeded income by close on $5,000. It is clear, therefore, that if this essential work is to continue on its present basis, let alone any funds will be basis, let alone any question of expansion...more funds will be needed. A point to be emphasis ed, also, is that there is no question of the efforts of the Society being misdirected, or of abuse of the system which it operates. All cases are given the most careful scrutiny, and every cent laid out is spent to good purpose. An immense amount of time and trouble is apent by the, voluntary workers of the Society, as well as by its amnil paid personnel, and the least that the residents of the Colony can do is to see that adequate means are provided for carrying on this definitely con- structive piece of social activity. The Society's appeal for help warrants the fullest possible response, and we trust that it will receive the support which it so richly merits.

cresting; Indeed, one of the en- couraging things about education to-day is its growing willingness to make drastic and far-reaching experiments. It is hardly going too far to say that colleges and universities have fallen short of expectations in the last decade or 80. We have been living in a time of unprecedented change. New de- velopments in selence, in industry, in the whole complicated art of making and distributing the neces rities and luxuries of life, have changed the basis on which we live and work together.
