Communication.

To the Editors of the Crimson:

Will you allow me to call attention in your columns to the Home Libraries of the Children's Aid Society? The plan of work is as follows: Twenty volumes of good story books are placed in the home of some poor child, who acts as a librarian; nine other children belong to the group, and meet once a week at a given hour to change their books. At this time a visitor meets them, oversees the library-work, and plays games with, or reads to the children for an hour or so. Several students have acted as visitors this winter, and have done good work. There is great need of extra helpers for the summer weeks; and anyone studying in Cambridge during the summer who is willing to spare an hour a week can do a great deal of good by volunteering his service to the Children's Aid Society Home Libraries, 43 Charity Building, Charden St., Boston. I should be very glad to give more detailed information to anyone desiring it.

Yours truly,

F. L. WHITTEMORE.
