Much of the June issue of Night and Day (the organ of Dr. Barnado’s Homes) is devoted to the Annual Keport for 1905. Tho statistics of work done in the course of that year may well open the eyes of the public in the large harvest yet to bo reaped before child destitution ceases out of the land. The children .arc flowing in at the doors of these Institutions alone at the rate of ten every-working day. In 1905 the admissions averaged close upon 11. The Homes emigrated 1,31-1 boys and girls in the same year, and placed out in service in the United Kingdom more than they emigrated. About 8,000 avo always under the care of the Homes, of whom more than half are boarded out.—Tlic general contents of the Magazine bear ample testimony to the varied nature and needs of tho work which the Homos arc doing, and the illustrations arc excellent-. Mrs Barnett, of Toynbee Hall, contributes a capital paper of reminiscences of the late Dr. Barn ado, in which she incidentally shows why the Homes have proved so abundantly successful. Founder’s Day is to be celebrated by an all-day festival in tho Girls’ Village Homes on Saturday. 30th June, when there arc to be many attractions. A copy of the Magazine will be gladly sent gratis and post free to any one who applies for it to tho Headquarters of tho Homes, 18 to 2G, Stepney Causeway, London, E.
