THE RECREATIVE EVENING
SCHOOLS
ASSOCIATION
To the Editor of The Times
Sir,— Will you allow us, through your columns to
appeal to the public for assistance in the volunteer
work of this association? We hope next winter
session to introduce our recreative and practical
classes into some 100 Board and Voluntary Schools
in the metropolis, and for those we shall require
1,000 teachers. The experience of the past winter
has justified our expectations of the success of
the recreative method, and proved that beyond
comparatively slight expenditure we need nothing
but volunteers. The subjects are simple, especially
those which will require the largest number of
teachers. Thus, musical drill and the use of the magic
lanterns can be learned in a very few lessons; singing,
drawing, and sewing of an elementary nature can be
taught by any one who can sing, draw, or sew; and
by the valuable aid of the Home Arts Association we
are able to provide professional teachers for those
who are willing to help in our classes for modelling,
wood carving, and design. The time we ask for will
not exceed one hour a week for each person; and we
therefore trust that many will be able to help, the work
being found by experience to be very interesting and
agreeable and the time of attendance short.
Any one who is willing to assist by gift of time or
money is requested to communicate immediately with
the secretary, 2, Swinton Street, WC, as it is desired to
organise classes of volunteers at once.
On behalf of the association, we are, yours, &c.,

A Reuters’ telegram from Dunkirk says that the British
steamer Talisman, bound from Leith, took the ground
on Saturday night in the outer harbour, after colliding
with the jetty. She has a breach in her bows, but was being
lightened and would possibly be able to dock shortly.
Captain Lambert and eight of the crew of the steamer
Emma were landed at Southampton yesterday from
St. Malo. The Emma left Sunderland for Bordeaux on
Monday last with coal, and on Sunday night struck
a rock off Ushant, sinking four minutes after. All on
board were saved in an open boat and landed at Brest
