An appeal on behalf of THE NATIONAL SOCIETY FOR THE PREVENTION OF CRUELTY TO CHILDREN, by Viscount KNUTSFORD
THE N.s.P.c.c. is within a few weeks of completing its fiftieth year. Lord Knutsford, who makes the appeal on behalf of the Society, is Vice-President, and one of its oldest and most enthusiastic workers.
In fifty years the Society has already protected more than four and a quarter million children. They have been the victims of cruelty, neglect, starvation, exposure, abandonment, and other wrongs. The Society is not a prosecuting Society-it prefers to deal with its cases through its two hundred and sixty-three Inspectors who are situated throughout the country, and only in gross cases are the people complained of taken before the magistrate.
In its Jubilee year the Society hopes to raise sufficient money to enable it to place additional Inspectors where they are needed. There are seven whole counties in England and Wales at present without a resident Inspector.
