Products are exchanged by the workers, such as raw wool for home spun yarn, and there is a big demand for the finished articles. Woven rugs and blankets were exhibited by the speaker. In her opinion the preserving and developing of handicrafts in Canada has been done chiefly by the CanaHandicrafts Guild, and she hopes that soon the various national groups will use their traditional designs on a Canadian background.

In Europe the old handicrafts are being carefully developed and in some countries the governments direct the in schools. Under modern industrial civilization men are apt to become machines and to lose their individual skill, but the true traditions of handicraft are being fostered, and the craftsman presses himself through the work of his hands.
