Mr Hooker arrived in Dunedin yesterday, and gave an address from station 4YA, Dunedin last evening. It is four years since he first interested himself in improving the amenities for social activity at the mental hospitals in the north, and in that time he stated he had been able to interest the public to assist a great deal by subscriptions and gifts. Mr Hooker devotes most of bis time to securing adequate supplies of reading matter for the patients.
