we are beginning some waste-paper baskets, into which we
propose to work sea-grass as a decoration for the cane.
The students look forward with hope to the time when a
workshop will be built for them on the spare ground behind the
Health Centre. Many of them would do more if the restricted
conditions in their homes did not prevent them. A workshop
would solve this problem.
As I pointed out last year, the London County Council does
not permit me to deal with the "making things pay" part of the
work. My job is to teach as well as I know how, and to communicate,
with the teaching, a healthful, curative, tendency of
mind.
Mrs. Monk looks after the finances, as a labour of love, and
when we have the workshop she will be able to prove, even more
than she has done so far, that our Handicrafts Class can pay its
own way.
