The Speech of the afternoon that had been so eagerly anticipated was that of Mr. G. A. Putnam, superin- tendent. of the Women’s Institutes of Ontario. This was Mr. Putnam’s tirst Visit to Grey Countysince the inauguration meeting in 1907 and he expressed pleasure at. being present. He said when he became superinâ€" tendent of Institutes nineteen years ago he appreciated the fact that you cannot. help peOple beyond teaching. them to help themselves. The great- est. help to individuals and the com- munity has been through’indiyidual. contact. and with each giving the best. you have. The primary reason of the success of the Women’s Insti- tute is their membership. The we» men attracted to the Institute are earnest. capable women with res- ponsibilities in their hearts.

One task is providing wholesome amusement and interest in rural districts. They should understand legisltion, regu- lation, administration, all three are essential to effective results. It is in the power of the Women’s Institute to be a factor in establishing econo- mic conditions On a sounder basis. The government cannot work with individuals but the Women’s Insti- tute is a medium through which serâ€" vice can be rendered the people. Evâ€" ery household should be represented in the Institute. Mrs. Moflat of BOgnor gave a brief outline of the work involved in the securing of the Owen Sound Rest Room. Mrs. A. M. McClure of Williamsâ€" ford, representative of Centre Grey, gave an excellent paper on “\Vhat. Can \Ve Do More?” She said the object. was to train the children for their future obligations, if the Insti- tutes are to give the when what they have pledged. " A very important. address 01' the day was .liat given by Mr. Seg'vvorth. i of Brampton. Mr. Sengorth is Field . Secretary of Ontario School 'l.‘rustee-;’ and Ratepayers’ Association. He is touring the province speaking on an educational topic that the Ontario - School Trustees’ and Rate[)a;.'ers’ As- sociation may work to secure a bet- ter understanding between . ratepayâ€" ers and teachers so they may mutu- ally strive for the improvenirnt of our schools. Mr. Segworth paid triâ€" bute to the Women’s Institute and ;Said that whatever community has a ibranch there is a good program be- ’ ing carried out. First, “"9 must have appreciative value of educa- tion. The nation that gives most to its children will be the greatest na- tion to-morrow. Canada is otfering great things to-day for her children. It will be the mixing place of the world. the highway -of commerce. where wealth and thought will meet. ‘ Education is that which makes posâ€" sible the achievement of the people. The training given in the schools toâ€" day is in a groove. All are trained to do the same work. The directors of this system are servants of the people. There must be a system to develop the individual capacity. How to work out the problem is a square deal to every child. The schools must be made efficient to meet the demands. A lively discussion followed Mr. Segworth’s address. An invitation “as received from the Flesherton del *gates to hold the com ention at Flesherten next year. This was ac- cepted. FHllowing the meeting supper was served and after goodbyes were said the gathering broke up. Many exâ€" press-mus of appreciation to the Kemble hostesses were heard.
