In this connection we would greatly appreciate your co-opera-tion in the matter of receiving and acknowledging donations. Wanganui was the first city in ihc Dominion to hold health camps and the health of the children who have attended has been gret*ly benefited. The establishment of a permanent camp will enable this work to be cjncinueu and will be another important addition to the civic assets of Hie district. The committee makes an earnest appeal tj all citizens for hnaicial assist,me ?in attaining the objective in view. The camp will, of course, benefit children from the country districts as well as the city and we therefore hope that your country readers will also assist. Donations may also be sent direct to the hon. secretary and treasurer, MrG. N. Boulton, secretary of the Wanganui Education Board.—l am, etc., A. G. BIGNELL, Chairman.
