the numbers have grown too large for a comfortable family party ; and for a secondary school run on craft lines, to continue the education of the children up to the time of their leaving school. All such schemes depend on the maintenance and steady increase of funds, for without capital the most promising company cannot he floated. Meanwhile, outside interest will depend largely upon the careers of the Community s children, the pioneers who came from St. Pancras with the Directors to found the Community in the country. The oldest children are now thirteen, and at the age of fourteen they will have to begin some more definite preparation for whatever profession they intend to take up. The Community will hold itself responsible for their future careers, and if owing to lack of funds it is impossible to give them a secondary education or craft training, it will see that they are drafted into State secondary schools, or apprenticed to trades, as circumstances permit. It will then remain for these children to turn their opportunities to the best account. ENID COGGIN. 1919-20.
