Mr O'Flynn said that it was very complimentary to tile work done by the W.E.A. that the local bodies on the West Coast had subscribed so liberally to the funds: in addition, they showed great interest in the work of the W.E.A. Tho innovation whereunder Mr Belshaw addressed the different debating societies had widened the scope and usefulness of the W.E.A. on the Coast, and there werj indications of even greater extension of the Association's activities.
