now generally conceded by intelligent
people that the sheet, empty and silly as
II is. has a perniciOus influence by reason

Mrs. Kern. continuing, said The

Mrs Kern said she had not the time TO

the committee the need for the protective

The regular programme was followed
by an executive session. at which Rev
