Books are needed to broaden minds, Miss Dunham declared, con- tinuing by saying that farmers can contact the world's best minds through the medium of books. Such a system had proven “~ch cessful in England and in Michigan.‘ Waterloo county libraries, were di- vided into groups which Miss Dun-3 ham rated as follows: better group) --kitchener and Call; intermediate trroup--Wateroo, Elmira, Preston: Hespeler, Ayr, and New Hamburg; t?thers---Weftesh)sr, New Dundee andl Linwood. “County Libraries" Miss Dunham in her talk pointed out that there were 12 library or- ttttnizntions in the county of Water, loo and yet only a portion of the general public was served.
