Appeal on behalf of the Church of England Children's Society, by Richard Dimbleby O.B.E. ,
Contributions will be gratefully acknowledged and should be addressed to [address removed]
The object of the Society is to care for children who have been deprived, through any cause whatever, of normal home life and family affection by providing them with one nearest possible equivalent of a natural Christian family life.
The principal methods are legal adoption, boarding-out, and small Home's where children of both sexes may grow up togeftheir like ordinary families. The children are for the mos-t part victims of broken homes, parents' cruelty, illegitimacy, or genuine hardship and poverty, and every effort is made to ensure that eventually they w:il leave the Society's care wi'h the self-reliance and judgment necessary to enable them to lead good lives.
They are treated as individuals, and independence is fostered in every way. The greatest care is taken to avoid anything that savours of an institution.
The Society maintains constantly a family of nearly 5,000 children. The present upward trend in the cost of all essentials is causing expenditure to exceed income to a very serious extent, and funds are urgently needed to maintain the existing work and resist a very real threat of curtaiimem.

Cast in order of speaking:
The Cheeryble Brothers, delighted with their new assistant, insist on providing Nicholas and his family with a furnished cottage at Bow, where their neighbour, a Gentleman in Small Clothes, thrusts himself on their attention by throwing into their garden a constant volley of cucumbers and marrows, and finally declares his love for Mrs Nickleby, who firmly refuses to believe he is mad, despite all evidence to the contrary.
Poor Smike is kidnapped by Squeers and taken to Mr. Snawley's house, but John Browdie, who arrives there with his new wife, Tilda, and Fanny Squeers, contrives to release him secretly.
