VOLUNTARY EFFORT.
UNDERGRADUATES AND WORKLESS. United Press Assn.—By Electric Telegraph—Copyright. RUGBY. August 21. A group of Cambridge, undergraduates have voluntarily devoted six weeks of their vacation to organising and staffing a c-amp for 100 young unemployed men. The site for the camp and other facilities u ere provided by Lord Somers. and the youths have been engaged on a variety of useful occupations of a kind calculated not to deprive any man of employment. L T seful hobbies have also been taught, interspersed with different sports. The experiment was designed to build character and self-discipline, and has proved so successful that similar camps on a larger scale are likely to be organised in future in connection with the more ambitious voluntary schemes now in operation on behalf of the unemployed.
