Ingram, from Miss Bryce, , a-former High School teacher in Port Perry High School, and now in India. Leonard Theological College, Jubbulpore, C.P., India. It is not yet a month since I reached Jubbulpore, but it seems much longer; and, of course, it seems literally ages sjnce I left Saskatoon," So much has happened in between that I'm afraid I hall have to take a hop-skip-and- jump over the interval to bring you up to date on my doings. = s As you 'know, 1 spent the summer at Hartford, Connecticut sharing in a preparatory course for the group of forty-six Methodist young people who are coming to India for a special three year term. They are known as 1-88 t (India-three year term) and are a fine group. -Five of us "regular" mission- _ aries were with them in the course and found it very interesting and 'helpful. It was also all. absorbing! We lived ~Tndia from 6: 00 a.m. to-10:00 p.m. or later each day, with classes in Hindi, Indian: culture, Hindu: and Muslim philosophy, Bible," Christian issues, Methodist organization, ete. We learned Indian games and songs, listened to Indian music, were intro- duced to Indian art and literature,-and practised eating Indian food in .the Indian style (sitting on the floor, eat- ing with our fingers). - In between times we talked with Indian students and officials, returned missionaries, and representatives of the church of- fice .and travel agency. So it was 'a busy summer! - ' I left Hartford a few days. before 'the course 'ended so that I could réach Europe in time for the" International |v Congress in Home Economics that took place in Stockholni, August 22 to 27. The Congrela was exceedingly well organized and very interesting. We had meetings in the mornings and} tours in the afternoons except for one day when we took.an all-day trip to Uppsala, the old which is'about, thirty miles from Stock- holm. We Canadians were pleased to find that there wére thirteen of us at the Congress, and we had' an official university town, delegate--MIlle Estelle Leblanc, There was also a large 'American group which, to my delight, included two of my Cornell friends. The theme of the Modern Civilization and Home Eco- nomics, ~ We were a little disappointed in the reports, and discussion was slow because comments were translated into three other languages than the one usetl, Apart from: this, however, we enjoyed the Congress very much, The programme was -well--arranged;-and our new Swedish friends were delight- ful hostesses. I should like to have stayed long cnough to see a little of Congress was Sweden on my own -- shops, homés,. farms, ete.; but they did show us some very interesting schools; a china fac- tory, an old castle (completely furn- ished in 'the style of the Hundred Years' War period), and the old Luth- eran Cathedral at Uppsala, The Sixth International Congress on Family Edudecation took place in Brus- gels and Lille at. the beginning of September. It, tao, was fairly well attended by Canadians (ten: or. more of us) and I wag fortunate enough to he staying in 'the same hotel as Milles. Estelle Leblane and Julfette Mireault, AE RAE STEN Ea 7 We had a lot of fun knocking around Brussels and Bruges between sessions. The Brussels Congress was quite dif- ferent from the one in Stockholm. It was smaller, rather poorly organized, and there was no attempt to use any language beside- French. About half the delegates wdie men and nearly all the "congressistes" (to use their word) came from the Romance language countries." I did not meet any from Scandinavia, and only one or two from the- U.S.A. and Britain.--However;-ut Brussels we certainly made up for any discussion we may have lacked in Stockholm. Delegates. kept jumping up-all over the room, and the discus- sion became quite. warm at times! On the - third day' of the Family Education Congress we all went by bus to Lille, France, where the last two days of the conference "were to be held. This was the part of the Con- gress that I enjoyed most, for it gave us a chance to see a little of the Bel- gian countryside and we made one or two interesting stops on the way. We also passed two memorials to Cana- dian soldiers of World War I---the Canadian Cemetery of "Flander's Fields", and the moose monument, at . Chattrai. One of our stops. that day was at the castlé of Count Rooden- beke at Oydonch. (He is the Presi: dent of the Belgian -League Family Education). The moat & draw- bridge are still there but the walls ate demolished except for the corners. There is a nice garden,'and a modern swimming pool which seemed just a bit incongruous in itd ancient setting. Miles.
