' DR . BARNARDO ' S " Night and Day" for November repeats the story that so many public charities have had to tell , namely , that owing doubtless to the many funds now making their drafts upon the benevolent , receipts have seriously fallen off , and that there is urgent need of immediate help to maintain the efficiency of the work . Severe retrenchments have becn effected , and yet the well-known Homes , which have rescued 32 , 000 boys and girls , and which have nearly 5000 children now under their care , are crippled for lack of the needful income . It is an interesting and suggestive story ,
however , of beneficial work that Dr . Barnardo has to tell . The late Mr . Mundella devoted his last public utterance to a warm culogium of the boarding-out methods of the Homes , although he admitted that at fi-st he had "grave doubts" about these methods . Yet his conclusion is : " Would to God the same methods were introduced into the system cf the administration of the whole of the poor law children of the country . " These words occur in a fully illustrated report of the 32 nd Annual Meeting
of the Homes , presided over by the Duke of Marlborough . The article on " Waif Saturday " will interest the hundreds of towns and villages whose contributions are recorded . We observe that a " Self-Dinial Week " for the benefit of the children has been fixed for the third week in November . During the year the Homes have emigrated OG 4 trained boys and girls to Canada and the Colonies , making a total of yjoG . A copy of this issue of " Night and Day " will be sent post free to any applicant who vyrites tor , it to iS to 2 G , Stepney Causeway , London , E .

' DR . BARNARDO ' S " Night and Day" for November repeats the story that so many public charities have had to tell , namely , that owing doubtless to the many funds now making their drafts upon the benevolent , receipts have seriously fallen off , and that there is urgent need of immediate help to maintain the efficiency of the work . Severe retrenchments have becn effected , and yet the well-known Homes , which have rescued 32 , 000 boys and girls , and which have nearly 5000 children now under their care , are crippled for lack of the needful income . It is an interesting and suggestive story ,
however , of beneficial work that Dr . Barnardo has to tell . The late Mr . Mundella devoted his last public utterance to a warm culogium of the boarding-out methods of the Homes , although he admitted that at fi-st he had "grave doubts" about these methods . Yet his conclusion is : " Would to God the same methods were introduced into the system cf the administration of the whole of the poor law children of the country . " These words occur in a fully illustrated report of the 32 nd Annual Meeting
of the Homes , presided over by the Duke of Marlborough . The article on " Waif Saturday " will interest the hundreds of towns and villages whose contributions are recorded . We observe that a " Self-Dinial Week " for the benefit of the children has been fixed for the third week in November . During the year the Homes have emigrated OG 4 trained boys and girls to Canada and the Colonies , making a total of yjoG .
