DR BARNADO’S HOMES. In the July issue of the “ National Waifs’ Magazine,” Dr Barnar;lo devotes the major portion of his space to an extract from the Annual renort of his well-known Home J for 1904. The report clearly indie ites the commanding position which these Homes now occupy in tV British national life. Tn the yra 1904, with which it deals, no Lwer than 4,82 y boys and girls were admitted to the shelter of the Homes from destitution, neglect or evil moral conditions. At present over 8,500 young people are under care and training, of whom about 1,300 belonging to the helpless class, including deaf and dumb, blind cripples, incurab'e or inhnts To da f e 60.000 children have been rescued. One can understand on perusing this document in what a plight many of the largs towns and cities to-day would find themselves had there not been for fo dy years a social scavenger like Dr Barnardo continuously at work. No chi d who is destitute is ever turned away from his doors, and these doors now stand open dav and night, not merely in London but in fourteen provincial centres. Tn regard tn one section of the operations alone, it is surely noteworthy that the Home: have now emigrated in all 16,800 vonng people, mostly to Canada, where extraordinary success has attended them, not li per rent, of this large number having turned out failnrer. Tt is clear, however, from the statements in the body of this Magazine that the work is being earned on under gn"it and i - creasing difficulties, and that the demands upon the Association are ou<l ' running its resources. We learn that at least £240 are required every day for food alone An influential raeo'ing of the [Mansion House, the Lord Mayor presiding, on 10 h July was held in aid of Institution; and an earne t aime:il is now made for wider and mo e geneionsupport The Magnzi-m is vel illustrated from phof.og aph-, ml the general contents are o' exeepional interest. A copy of th? Magazine and report will be fo - warded gratis and post free to a ; v applicant who sends name anl address to the head office of the Homes, IB to 26, tepney Causeway, London, E.
