Editorial Notes ... 3
I have to thank many old boys for the subscriptions to the Review that have reached me in response to my request last month. There remain some who have not responded, and I desire to ask them if they like the Magazine and want to continue to receive it. Also I shall be glad to hear what they think about it, and if they can suggest any ways in which it could be made more useful or interesting.

I also have a great pleasure in thanking a number of new contributors for their help this month. I want as many as possible of the boys and the staff and the helpers to send me as much news as they can. Anything that happens is news, and I hope nobody will think that anything is too unimportant to record. If they will write me their letters or notes and trust me to decide upon their value for the purposes of the Review, I shall be grateful.

The ST.DUNSTAN'S REVIEW is going very well, and the whole of the last issue was sold out in the first week. I have received some back numbers from readers who had finished with them, for which I hope they will accept my thanks; but I shall still be glad of any June and July copies as several readers want these to complete their files.

I am afraid that the list of Old Boy's Addresses is not so correct as it should be. Will anybody who notices any errors kindly inform me, and I will have them rectified? I want to make this list a complete directory of those who have left.

Notes By the Chief ... 4
The return of Sir Arthur Pearson after his long illness who comments that due to the increased numbers of men at St. Dunstan's and the additional annexes to house them, he was going to find it harder to speak to them personally and that the Review would be increasingly his method of communicating with them.

He goes on to say that there had been fifty six new arrivals during his absence and that he had been able to speak to each one personally. He also thanked the staff for making things run smoothly.. He was able to announce that Regent's Park College on the Outer Circle had been placed at the disposal of St. Dunstan's
