Abstract
THE report of this body for 1932 tells how some £200,000 was spent during the year in furtherance of the multifarious enterprises which the Trustees elected to help. Some idea of the variety of the Trusts operations is conveyed by the following partial summary of grants paid or partly paid during the year in fulfilment of its promises: libraries, £85,000 (161 items including central libraries and regional library bureaux, county libraries, municipal book grants, boys and girls clubs, etc.); rural development and social service, £36,000 (112 items including village halls, rural community councils, new estates community associations and many national associations); music, drama, and related activities, £10,500; playing fields and play centres, £30,000 (123 items); adult education, £7,000; museums, £1,500; physical training college for men teachers, £14,500. Substantial as are these amounts, they are far from commensurate with the value of the services rendered by the Trust to the Community, for a cardinal point of its policy is to stimulate enterprises which are likely to become independent and have permanent national value.
