This Discussion-paper accompanying the Bulletin on The Selection 

 of Food may he returned zvith ansurrs to the questions and zvith any 

 suggestions and questions of your own. While the anszvering of these 

 questions is not absolutely necessary, a much greater benefit zvill be de- 

 rived if you give to others the benefit of your ozvn experience. As a 

 member of the Reading-Course you zvill he credited by us zvith the zvork 

 done. It zvill also help us to understand your point of viezv.

 less research zvork zvill not be satisfactory, J am sure, to the reader.
