Appeal on behalf of Pearson's Fresh Air F.und by Lady PEARSON (Miss GLADYS COOPER). THIS Fund, started in 1892 for the purpose of giving a day's holiday to poor London children, now operates in forty of the largest cities and towns in the British Isles. Since its inauguration, over five million children have benefited to the extent of a day's holiday in the country, whilst, since 1908, when the scheme was enlarged to provide fortnightly holidays as well, nearly a hundred thousand children have enjoyed two weeks by the sea or in the country. One shilling and threepence pays for a day in the country ; one pound pays for a fortnight's holiday ; and thirteen pounds pays for a party of two hundred with attendants.
The Honorary Treasurer is [address removed].
