considerable talent in Lower Hutt is certain, and a Ideal body of this sort is just' the thing that Is needed to .bring sueh-vtalent to the foTe. Opportunities are presented to- all who have such talents to have them brought out and improved under the eajpable and experienced direction of the producer of the Society,.
