By the same token, we feel that there are many ladies and gentlemen who will offer their services if requested. Although Volunteer workers may not achieve as much as a paid in- spector, yet their services will be inestimable.

Their task will, of course, be more on the education- al line, and in this, we think, they can do more than the paid ser- vants of the Society.
