They also. held quite re- cently, a nnost important and suc- esdul Provincial Con! erence ai Guelph, and next week Bowman- ville Women's Institute celebrates ha *5th anniversary. ~The growing importance ,and ntliuam o! the Women's Inati- *ttes. impressýs -'so. greatly upori usa, their value ta' Ontario and more particularly -,ta our - owxi community, that we should en- deavour to know, understand, and appreciate more fully this valu- able rural service.' The contribution of the Wom- unna Institutes i ràlsing the gen- eral standards of health and mor- ale of the rural population was recognized years ago by the On- tario governmçnt to be. af such importance - that it» assigned a branch of the Departmnent of Ag- riculture ta assist the Women 's Inistitutes in their work of social education. This branch is noxw known as the Women's- Institute Branch and Home Economics Ser- vice. This close association af the Institutes with the Depart- *pIe t of Agriculture has, always iMorked.aut hgrmoniausly, and has ýone a long way in making rural jvung more profita'-Ile and attrac- tive ta legions of people. The firat Women's Institute in the world wvas organized in 1897 In Saltfleet Township, Wenworth County. by Mrs. Adelaide Hood- less. This 'remarkable woman felt that rural wamen needed aorne kind af association in which they could work and study tageth- or ta raise the standard,'of -home- xnaking. The response of rural women was immediate, and six 3ears after the birth o! the mnove- ment there wcre some fifty sima- ilar groups in Ontario..

Early ini their history, education -in homemaking became a vital is- -sue with them. Ini 1910 they for- tmulated an education program *for women and girls o! rural On- tario and outlined a program of short caoirses which was given 1strong support by the Minister af -Agriculture. This still is one of 1 the main projects a! the Institute, 1and the object cf these courses is 1ta help wamen ta acquire sound - and appraved practices for great- 1er home efficiency. It is also ta - discover and train leadership, ta develop a mare abundant life in -rural communîties. and a deeper -appreciatian of things at hand, -and in sa doing, ta dcvelap better, shappier and more useful citîzens. *Their meetings and activities there fore caver a great variety of sub- àjects like clothing, household man- *agement, food and nutrition, home furnishings and other subjects like citizenship, health education. 'hausing and psychology for the homemaker. *The completeness of their study fand education af their chosen sub- jects is remarkable. Clothing for instance, is not limited to instruc- stion in.sewing, but includes study 1of clour and dçsign, quality and characteristics af fabrics, clothing budgets and care of clothing. It *educates homemakers ta select 7garments that wili contribute ta ithe health, comfort and efficiency af the family and ta give each *member of it a sense af ease and assurance ini ail their family ancl3 isocial relationships. In proof af this, the reader need only ta rnentally refer ta the Institutc clothing and homnecraft exhibits c at the Norfolk County Fair.,xvhich is on.e ai-the fair's outstanding ex- hibits. In faods and nutrition its aim is ta arouse interest, study and the application af knowledgc ta prob- len oai the family diet, with the seletion, preparatian, and serv- *ing & food fer its mosi ntritios composition and relation ta health.
