L. KL-iinecly in speakini: to various rural Ernups throuchniit this province has paid hich tribute to our Women’s Iri- stitutes {or their part in improving things which for years have been pressinu’ problems. "Today in Ontario there are 1300 Women‘s Institutes actively engaged in community service that is con» stantly being hi'oadcned.” "For instance", Colonel Kennedy stated “through the Women’s In~ stitute Branch and Home Economics Service the Department is puttinc into effect a procram of special courses and activities to assist fann housewives in the tasks of maintain- ine and improvini: their rural homes “The Women's Institute has made farm women see that farm life ofi'ers a larger measure of independence than pioneer women ever dreamed of. It has brouulit them into close touch with their sisters in the city, in whose presence they are no ionizer shy and retirinp.‘ but on the contrary are able to comport themselves with as much quiet dic-nitv and to converse with as great intelliizence on practi- cally every topic that interests their sex. “The object of the Institute is to promote a knowledge of home econo- mics in all its phases with a view to raising- the general standard of edu- cation, health and happiness of our people and to create among the members a desire to fit themselves to a higher plane. “T'hroueh improved practices and zreater home elficiency the drudgery of housework can be removed and more time left for real homemaking fitfid the appreciation of an abundant e. “At their gatherings young women 19 {HS ‘ V H P 1 ‘ From now Holt in main, iln. k, n. pin-MI. lnrl \\illi.im in.“ \lldl-ln Islir. l: R, i.

Great Responsibilities and and Opportunities Miss Lewis reminded the Board Directors that great responsibilities and opportunities were theirs. "Our members have placed great faith and trust in you by electing you to this office. You are the women who carry the vote and shape the policies of the F.W.I.O. So very much depends upon your action and your decisions. May we, the Federated Board. co-operating closely together give of our best to stimulate, inspire and direct the rural women and girls of this provinco and help them fulfil the aims of our organization”. and older women are encouraged to express their views of the big and the little problems that confront them; the ideals that thrill them and their hopes and aspirations for making rural life ideal and such as will keep their young men and women on the farm instead of hurrying away to the cities as soon as their education is complete Women’s Institutes have altered conditions for the better and the idea has spread all over the con- tinent. It is practical and affords scope for genius wherever found. Much of which would never have been brought to light had there been no little gatherings of institute members to inspire them." A In closing her address Miss Lewis quoted from Emerson, ""I'he stream of human affairs flows its own way~ What great: masscs of men wish done will be donc'. So let us. as Institute women, wield mll' influence,~see that the masses are educated in right prin- ciplesâ€"that public opinion is in- fluenced fur mind". CANADIAN A SOCIATION 017‘ CONSUMERS hills.
