(2) Home Extension work is needed to help the women in planning to take part in revolving credit loans;
(3) Children are now going to public schools and home extension work is needed to help the women in the proper care of their children in homes and to enable them to bring school and homes closer together;
(4) With the construction of a community building on the Fort Hall Reservation, there will be a place to conduct demonstrations and to hold meetings and these meetings will give the women opportunities to discuss their problems.
