ORPHANS AND ORPHANAGES
Sir,-Readers who have read the two atticles on orphanages by Mrs. Mirams and followed the correspondence it encouraged may be interested to learn that a book published by Hutchinsons recently has been dedicated to her. Written by my brother, with a foreword by J. B. Priestley, the book concerns the life of Margaret McMillan, famous in Great Britain for her devoted work amongst slum children. Further to commemorate: Miss McMillan and her sister a trust, composed of the most influential people in England, aims to raise £250,000 to be spent in child amenities. The dedication to Mrs. Mirams reads, "For Doris Marguerite Mirams-the friend of orphaned and delinquent children in New Zealand."
