Excerpt from Village Industries Indirectly, several charitable institutions would be benefited through the agency of the League. For instance, the Cripples' Union, established in different urban centres, has for its Objects the relief of the sufferings of crippled children, the brightening of their lives, and the making of the cripples useful. These children already produce a number of small articles. The deftness of their fingers and their personal taste and skill are seen in the beauty and variety of the artificial flowers which they manufacture. The movement of the League would provide a sale for the output of these institutions and thereby materially help them. The Committee of the Rural League propose to have a Showroom in London containing samples of the goods made in the different villages, which the wholesale traders could inspect and after wards, it is hoped, sell. It is not intended that the League should be in any sense traders for profit; they will form a medium between the village producers on the one hand and the urban traders on the other, and much encouragement to undertake the task has already been received.
