Dr. Margaret McCready. and told something of the Institute’s history, its present program and plans for the future. Preparing the girls for a tour of Macdonald Institute she reminded them to look at the portraits of Mrs Adelaide H-oodless and Sir William Macdonald, the coâ€" founders. (Mrs. Hoodless, it was explained. had persuaded Mr. Macdonald to give the necessary funds to build this school of home economies which was named for him “Macâ€" donald Institute”.) Miss Bray Spoke of changes that had been made as required to keep Macdonald Institute's classrooms and equipment up-toâ€"datc; and of changes in the course of study, so that now the curriculum includes not only such subjects as food, clothing and housing but psychology, sociology, at great deal of science, how to be an intelligent consumer, and the estheties of living. Referring to the general interest in the Freedom From Hunger crusade, Miss Bray said the problem of housing the world’s population is more serious than the problem of feeding and less is being done to solve it. Miss Bray also announced that 266 girls had applied for admission to Macdonald Institute this fall and that with the present facilities only 100 appli- cations could be accepted.

You are fortunate in your educational opporâ€" tunities, and your privileges of transportation and communication. You have access to a world of entertainment through radio and television; and you have a high standard of living. You have a life of abundance but it is not an easy life. You are subject to many pressures. You are expected to have a high standard of scholastic achievement and to ex- cel in sports and other extra-curricular inter- ests; and our time may be so occupied that we have little time to discover Ourselves." Mrs. Trivers quoted from the poem beginning “I have to live with myself and so I have to be fit for myself to know"; and she suggested that with mass media set to do our thinking for us, it is hard to be an individual. “Are we being given too much?" Mrs. Triv- ers asked. “Some years ago only the people who had proven ability got to college. Now with everyone going to high school the priv- ilege of going on to university may be taken for granted." We live in a time of rapid change, the speaker said but human nature does not change.
