HELP WAR BABIES MOTHERS
Mrs. LIoyd-George Is Aiding in Care of English
Unfortunates.

A scheme for the training in remunerative work
of unmarried mothers inaugurated recently
at q meeting of Evangelical church women in
the Welsh chapel, Charing Cross road
A house has been taken in small country
town, at the foot-o the Wiltshire downs, where
IA young will shortly be received It is
intended that each girl shall learn domestic
crafts, gardening, poultry rearing The in
structon will be given in the course of the ordi-
nary work of the house. commencing before and
continuing after the child is born
Doctor Saleeby said that it was sign OF
progress that in a Cavinistic chapel people
should consider the claims of the unmarried
mother, and he characterized the work that was
about to be undertaken not only as religious but
as hygienc in the highest sense of the word
in SO far as you single young mother
from the life of the streets" he said you are
protecting the future generation from indescrible
evils"
Mrs Lloyd George, who is deeply r. interested
in the experiment of caring for unmarried moth
ers on constructive lines, was unable to attend
the meeting, having been called into the country
to her little girl who is ILL., With many Others
interested in social welfare, she feels that more
could be done to reclaim young mothers If a
course of training could be given to them on
broader and more interesting lines than those
of the past

Retreat" will have these ideals before it in all
