‘Sir.- Could you tell me if there is in existence any association for kennelmaids and canine nurses? A short while ago I was given an address in Brixton, S.W. as being the headquarters of the “Canine Nurses’ Institute,” but my letter was opened and returned by G.P.O., marked “Gone away.”

I have often thought that a society of this kind would be greatly welcomed by many girls engaged in doggie work, with perhaps several branches in different parts of the country.

Perhaps some of your readers will give their opinions on the likely prospects of such an association in the district. It seems to me that we are far too isolated from our colleagues in this particular work, and that we need something of this kind, which would broaden our interests and help us to stand up for our rights.'
