A Place For Family Living Our rural home has proved a joy to the hole family, for we have worked together 0 bring in the harvest, then had time to have a ecreation together, maybe even to phone the eighbours to join in the game. We have been able to have the children with us more con- stantly than is usual in the city as we go about the daily round we can teach them delight in simple things.

Getting the Most From a Conference This interesting note on getting the greatest possible benefit from the Institutes' Confer- ence. held at Guelph each spring, comes from Nipissing District: “Results of conferences to date show that it is difficult to get all branch Institutes to take advantage of reports from the conference. In the past three years copies of reports have been typed for each Institute but some just file them away for future use and the future never comes. "This year we plan to call in presidents. vicepresidents, and secretary-treasurers for a day’s conference and go over the findings from the conference to find of what help they can be to us."
