THURSDAY AUGUST 31, 1939 PAGE THREE THE CANADIAN STATESMAN, BOWMANVILLE, ONTARIO INSTITUTEEDITORIALS (Cantinued f rom Page 2) larged'ton the neeti ai an organizatian for wornen whereby the>' might bie belpeti in hame-crait, mother- crait and aIl that it meant, in the saine way as thc men wene helpeti in raising better aqdt larger craps. The result was the organization ai a Departrnent ai Domestic Economy> in affiliation witb the Farmer's Institute, ta be called the Wornen's Departrnent ai j the Farmer's Institute ai South Wcntworth. At the next meeting the namie was cbanged ta the Women's Institute ai Saltilcet, and this was later changeti when other Ihstitutes were arganizeti in the township, ta the Staney Creek Women's I'ntitute. Their Growtb: In the carl>' records anc fintis the neal objective ai the pioneers: "A nation cannot risc above the level ai its homes, therefore we warnen must work and study tagether ta rxise aur bornes ta the igbest possible level." In 1900, thirty-tbree Women's Institutes were functioning i the Province., This nuffiber bas in- creased until naw branches may be i ound in ever>' inhabiteti section ai Ontario. In 1935 there werc 1,371 Women's Institute branches with a member- ship ai 42,000.1 Women's Institutes or similan agéncies are now orgijzed in every Province in Canada. The Wonien's Institute was organizet ink the Brtish Isles in 1915 b>' a Canadian, Mrs. Alfredi Watt. Mrs. Watt bas the honaur ai baving organizeti the Santi- ringbam WomeW's Institute when Qucen Mary was chosen Président.

Nothing bas given greater impetu 's ta the movement in Canada in the past few years than the interest oi Her Excellency, Thé Lady Tweeds- muir. Ta-day Women's Institutes or similar or- ganizatians are ta be fount inh Englanti, Scatlanti, Irelanti, , Wales, Belgium Australia, New Zealanti, India andi South Africa.

With the steady pragress ai science anti art greater returns are passible eacb year te the horne-maker who is a member ai the Institute. Through the Institute rural wamen are learning: (1) A better understanding ai the ecanomic and hygetiic value ai footis, clothing anti fuel. (2) Mare understanding ai scientiiic care and training ai chiltiren with a ixiew ta naising the' général standard ai health anti moral ai aur people. i(3) Knowletige relating ta damcstic economy in- cluting houstholti architecture witb spécial attention ta home sanitation. Activities for cammunity weliare such as pro- vision ai improveti eductional facilities, bealth ser- vices anti recreational oppartunities have deepencti the satisfaction oa ifle in rural areas.

Wbat is mare deplorable in this age than a man on woman voting iÀberal or Con- servative because is or ber father anti grandiathen voteti fan that Part>'? Also wc shaulti be willing ta give something of aur time and energy in the interests af the State. Lastly we would not forget "Neighborliness and Friendliness." Many a discauraged persan would become a better citizen if given the hand of f riend- ship. This dots not always mean the giving of mone>' but an understanding' f riendship. If we aIl develop in, these ways, we can surely make Canada a land - of which ta be proud, and her citizens will be ai the highest type. -Mrs. L J. Goodman, President Tyrone Warncn's Institute. la Wrong Èver Right? These last few years whcn so man>' clubs af var- iaus names bave appeared in aur different corn- munities aIl with about the same aims: ta help the underprivilegcd, the sick'and crippled. Old Boys' Re- un ions, Jambories, Street Fairs for f un and enjay- ment - or ta raise money for this and that., We have attended a goodly number and have observcd a number ai things nat quite in keeping with their other-wise high ideals aund aims. For instance is gambling right or wrang? Or is it only wrong sametiynes or wherc and when and wha does it? If a man is up against bard times and wishes ta mnake a bit of mane>' quickly and easily would thc saine cammunities allow him ta have a game in pub- lic or even in is awn bouse ta raise these f unds and encourage small boys andi girls ta take a chance. We have abserved at these places boys and girls f rom sev"en ta twelve years af age at the Crown andi Anchar playing steadil>' for over an haur maie- ing easy money and being encouraged ta keep at it. We have heard parents baast of the amount their chiltiren matie, the chiltiren telling their chums haw easy tbey made one, twa, or three dollars, which is a big sum in their eyes. We have always been taugbt ta believe that no gooti can carne out of .anything by using wrang ways ta bring gooti results. In sarne cammunities there is an age limit, no ane under a certain age can take part, which of course is better. But the question is, wbich is ai mare value, the body or the saul? Or is wrong ever right, or right ever wrong? -Mrs. Florence Baker, President Wornen's Institute Bowmanville. Rural School Fairs As an Institute Ncwtonville bas been very ititer- ested ini school fair work and are forcibly reminded af the first fair helti here. Mr. R.-S. Duncan was aur district representative t Part Hope at that tirne. A number ai schaols hati étered inta the fair work but Southern Carke had nat been linketi up as yet. Threc af aur boys approached a mem- ber ai the Institute ta help them bave a fair ai their awn. The Institute encauraged the chiltiren ta branch out andi a séhool fair was the autcame. The chiltiren brought exhibits frorn the fan - gartien- manual work - weeds and weed sceds - woods- leaves - sewing - drawing - cakdy. The girls' work was judged by tweofai ur mei-- bers. The boys' work by a judge sent us frorn the Department anti a local j utge. The Institute gave first and second prizes in the ionm af sometbing useful ta eacb winner. It is needless for me ta stress the appreciatian wc received from thclse pupils andi it bas proven an in- spiration ta aur Institute ta stand bebinti the rural school ever since. -Mrs. M. J. Holman, Newtonvilic Women's Institute. Girls' Home-mnaking Clubs "Ever>' girl is worth just as much as the things she is interested in." Many a mothen and young girl in rural communit- ies deplore the i act that it is the privilegé of their city cousins ta attend Technical Schools or Calleges and lcann some of the arts and skills wbich are covereti by the subjcct "Home Ecanomics." Yet such a programme, not as elabanate or extensive, but stressing many ai the fundarnental principles is available ta ever>' rural girl between the ages ai twelvc and twenty-six years ai age andi sponsorerl by the extension service ai the Women's Institute Branch of. the Provincial Department ai Agricule turc. Since 1935 this programme bas been canrieti on in the ionm of projects in local cammunities. For the organization andi support, we owe a great deal ai credit ta the local Women's Institutes for taking a keen interest in thjeir local young girls. Girls' wark is dinected by local leaders through clubs in ýiutri'- tion, clothing, bouse iurnishing, gardening and caa- ning. The projects have such interesting titles as: "Supper Club,"~ "The Milky Way," "Dressing Up Home Grown Vegetables," "Cottons May Be Smart," ates with the Agricultural Representative Branch ta bring ta boys afnd girls anc or tbree month courses in Elementary Agriculture anti Home Econamics, during the winter nionths.
