"Too many programs appeari merely as a hodge-podge of things ta do and hear, wlthout any thread of cantinuity on which the assorted items are strung. A well planned pro- gram has a definite goal. It sets out ta lead the members alang a clear path ta a known destination. It la Wise ta plan a year's pragram in advance and have printed folders dis- tributed ta every member. The folder shouid, as far as possible, give the complete pictiâre, of a society's activities for the cani- ing year. It is mast important that the items listed should be interesting, instructive, varied, and with same appeal ta the imagination. Make mottas and rail calîs tie in with the pro- gram. Every pragram. should have something for every age group represented in the merm- bership. Every woman should be made ta feel she has a part in the meeting. "Neyer let your group de- generate into a social get-to- gether, or develop into a mon- ey. making social group. The lrimary aim of Women's Insti- tute work is Adult Education of members by study, demon-s stratian, panel discussions and by reading. There are many channels of learning and the field af study is unlimited.1 Mrs. Armstrong urged al women ta know More about municipal affairs; ta exercise their franchise; ta study the needs af the local schools andt how taxes are distributed; alson ao be ready ta serve an scl4,ol d aoards and municipal councils. Continuing, Mrs. Armstrong t said, "W o m e n' s Institutes should be bath practical and progressive. At the end af the year every Institute member st should feel she has learned li aomething she dîd not know, rg r know how ta do before. Her fE life should be enriched and her hi vision broadened. Shie shauld t] e a better wife, a better rnoth- Pl r, a better homemaker and a t] etter citizen because she has ti een an Institute member. n qoamemaking is just as much a Pl rofession as teaching or nurs- ul ng and thraugh Extension Scr- ices for the Homemaker, the Momen's Institute brancn C ielps ta make it a profession." hz In conclusion, Mrs. Arm- bi trang said "Through service Ni n aur homes and community wg ve achieve aur greatest happi- MI ýss.

If we kncw what ,ia going on be- hind the scenes in others' lives, we, too, should be slower ta j4;dge harshly.

We are evaiuating themi according ta the conse- [nences af their actions, and how wouid we like that judg- ment applied ta aur beat cf- forts, sanie af which went as- ray because ai factors over which we had ne contrai? As ta the demand for con- istencý la aur public, this is the most faolish o ai al points ai judgmcnt. People just are not cnsistent. People are differentt s individuals and as membersî f graups and under varyîng ircumatances and at different mes.t We start, with the false as-- .amption that, "peaple are es- metially alike." Thea, when wc nd by experience that they ie unlike, we confuse the la- ies and denounce and perse- ute each other because we are fferent. We shouid, insteai, ry ta iind out ini what way we te different, then proceed ta arn why. Sonictimes, ai course, intoler- nce shows itself as inability cforgive and forget some par- iular wrapg. The grudge- iarer cherishes bis ull.will, ns the flame of memary, ýver permits himscîf ta for- 't. No ane suggcsts that we hould be warms, chenishing ie foot that steps an us, but tile fountains ai bitterneas iould not be allowcd ta pal- )n aur relations with those îth whom we must live. [t is nlot easy ta remove a rejudice quickly. A man has try with the idea that there fun in succeeding in being ien-minded, and that his like il be fuller and swecten. Al ie prejudices that beset man- nd arc ailergic ta truth; the ark of an educatcd man is his llingness ta expose pet pre- lices ta it. Anyhow, the ther 1 side of a subjeet alwiays has pointa of interest. No one has the night .ta ex- peCt ta enjoy gaod public re- lations unless he can listen ta bath sides ai an argument, tal. crate things which are dis-E tasteful ta him personally, and1 take the gentle, the favour-1 able and the indulgent aide of smast questions.î Public relations consistsaiofa great many little things, mast ai them arising aut ai thaught- fuineass For example, Timothy g Eaton saw an old lady having c diffi ulty in chimbing the step f: Intoc his firat Toronta store; E next day the step was replaced by a sloping walk. In short, a tl man thuat thinik more ai others r than ai hiniseif; in business. lie tl miust be guided-by the wishes b ai his customers, We need Patience. We must be Sincere. a We must climinate Sources - ai friction before friction oc- -à cura. We need a good Sense af Humour but we must always take care that a joke does not hurt sameone. We must remember that per- suasion warks better than compulsion. We must remnember, tao, that Sympathy is a great neutrali- zer ai bard thoughts. We must rememiier that Praise helps too. It la not enough ta refrain from makinc unkind camments, we must try tà iind samething pleasant ta say in their place. If a bnoad plan ai improving the public's relations with it- self were fallowed throughaut the world, what kind ai place wauld it be in which ta live? Why, we could obuiid the most graciaus age in history, an age in which we shauld ail like ta live.
