EDITORIAL NSTITUTE members throughout Ontario will share our pleasure in welcoming Miss Ethel Chapman‘s return to the staff of Women's Institute Branch and Home Economics Service as Home Economist to edit Home and Country and assist with other Women's Institute Branch activities. Miss Chapman has given many valuable years of service to the Women's Instiâ€" tute Branch and Home Economics Service. In 1922 she was appointed Assistant Superintendent. In 1925 Miss Chapman introduced a three year Garment Making Club programme for girls from ten to eighteen years. These clubs continued until 1935 when they were replaced by other clothing club units as part of the general Home Making Club programme. The organâ€" iZation and promotion of Junior Institutes was another special feature of Miss Chapman‘s work. As Women’s Editor of "The Farmers Magazine" Miss Chap- man has given the Women's Institutes of Ontario the finest type of publicity and encouragement and as guest speaker at special meetings has brought a wealth of information and inspiration. We know that the rural women of Ontario join us in welcomâ€" ing Miss Ethel Chapman back to the Women‘s Institute Branch staff and realize that we will be the richer for the valuable contribution Miss Chapman will make. Commencing with this issue of HOME AND COUNTRY our official publication takes on "That New Look". We trust this new set-up will increase your reading pleasure as much as it has our enjoyment in preparing it. WW Director W'umen'r Institute Bt'ttllt‘lt. In our cover picture, Mrs. R. G.
