one which will attract the attention Of
the country"
She said that "all of you are going
TO get together to find means OF pro-
noting all the interests of your town.
commercial, social, educational" She
pointed out that the town was the
first TO merge commercial promotion
with the great all-inclusivc enterprise
of public education" adding that the
experiment will be beneficial not only
to the immediate business interests Of
your town, but it will be helpful to
the schools in their work of training
the children for future participation
in commercial and Industrial pursuits"
Miss Wilson declared that the whole
influence OF n school social centre on
the children of school age seemed to
her TO be conducive to good citizen
ship.
The new commercial secretary is to
