The local officers were allowed no State funds for advertising the 

 summer meetings, and many of the local chairmen were without experi-

 and the rush of work when the meetings were being held, the attendance 

 was very gratifying in many cases.

 and children largely predominated in the audiences, as was expected. 

 From three-fourths to nine-tenths of those in attendance were women and 

 children, and from 10 to 50 per cent, of those in attendance were boys

 people are ready and eager for information pertaining to home sanitation, 

 household management, training of children and the care of poultry.
