53 THE REPORT OF THE No. 41 requests, but somo wanted comic recitationa. We have no collection of comic reci- , I have no'objection to them. but simply we did not happen to have them. 1‘ I {tried to help those queetionors by suggesting where they might get such material ‘ a, i the other cases, it was usually'owing to the fact that we have not you gotten a v ‘ y good knowledge of what you viant. We are lam-hingJ but we are not yet quite aura of the nature of the help you want. We are gradually improving, and I am a]; quiterenra that a good many of these ‘ - asts we could satisfy now, although we could'not otvthevtima they come in.

I wish er'ery one of m selves. and from my point of View the For Mamlonnld Institute a great d our most valuable malarial was buried ‘ . " you wanted you could not find. We are , cataloging process. Therefore, it has been {or Macdonnld Institute. For the Women’s Institute? That is for you to say. Doubtless we very often Bent material lass helpful than you expected. We probably often sent quite the wrong thing because we were not quite sure of your point of View. and we sometimes sent with a malice of forethought material that would pmvuke tho hearth-st kind of discussion. We did not expect to do all the work. We always expected you to do a good cleal of the work yourselves in picking out the helpful parts of the material we sent, and then putting it into .1 good paper of your own. What do we want to do? If you wianntive. those of you who have attended all the eessions here, every speaker ho.c kept constantly before you the idea, behind all. of your work, better homes for Canada. llui-ilonalri Inafilure is working for precisely the some thing. with this ilifl‘ureuce: You \Vuuicn Insii‘iute pgople are studenls on the job while our students an‘ only getting rend} for it.
