Tt is one of the outstanding evils of our present economic system and one of the main obstacles to schemes for local betterment. This did not imply the setting up of a new institution specially lor the purpose-. ‘I ho work could bo done by a combination of the efforts of the local museum, the local library, the Chamber of Commerce, the municipality. and nth or local government bodies, and the local associations interested in social and philanthropic work.”
