Miss BONDFIELD

The residential centres administered by the Central Committee on Women's Training and Employment, at which training in domestic work is given are as follow:

Newbold Beeches, Leamington Spa.

Appleton Hall, Stockton Heath, Cheshire.

The Elms, Market Harborough, Leicestershire.

Harden, Long Benton, Newcastle-on-Tyne.
