Interest in some oi the things com udered at the Farmers? Institute meet- Ms resulted in a - of we.“ in Baltic“ township, Wentworth county, “king themselves why they should not form an organization for the dia.. evasion of their own partiealar rel- wmibih‘ties and their own work. When the suggestion was made at n Farmers' Institute meeting held on Frhruary 19th, 1897, to which the wo- men had been specially invited, there was no hesitation in organizing O Women's Institute, and the men wen most anxious to and". in whatever way they could. The objects at W0- men's Institutes as set forth at that time were: "The duseminatittet ef knowledge relating to domeotie em- omy. including household Minna”. with special attention to home mito- thm; a better Madam T,', the eeonmttie nod hygienic W foods, Mthing and fuels; n more ”but”: are and tuning of children with a View to mining the general Mn! of health and moral of our people."

What is the governing body? 2. Who are the teachm? 3. Who are the pupils? 4. What is the curriculum? 5. What are the text books? 6. What are the methods of teach- il) The governing body in the hr. stitute consists of the ofiieert, chosen by the members, who should be repre- sentative of all homes in the commun- ity. Each branch is ht absolute con- trol of its own. activities, and the Branches in a district, sometimes a whole county, sometimes pert of a county, join forces for their mutual heneiit, and to extend the work to new localities. CAmsolidation of the branch- es of a district, also, facilitates their cooperation with the various depart- ment. of government service. (2) Who are the teachers? The teachers consist of not only the mem- bers and other local talent, but also persons from outside who have had special training along lines of value to the Institute membership. The discovery, utilization and de- velopment of local talent is one of the strongest features of the work. In addition, the Department af Agri- culture, through the “Institute: Branch" furnishes lecturers and de.. monstrators on most liberal terms to instruct and direct in Doaneatie Science, in all its branches, Health, Agriculture for Women, etc. (3) Who are the pupils of this won-I dedul school? The first to be iii) trimmed are the women of responsibiL ity in the home, and it is usually the efficient who are most anxious to gain additional knowledge. Then, we hovel the young women who are beginning; to feel a sense of rsponsibility which will come to them in later years. Young girls, over fourteen, find that there is much than they can get and give in the Institute. One most plena- ing feature and an evidence af the practicability of the programs, in that the pupils never graduate, The longer one is identified with Women’s Insti- tute. work, the wider the vision and "he Keener the interest, the greater ‘the desire for knowledge and the op- }portunity for service. (4) What in the course of study? While in the early daysrof the organ- ization. food problems, dubbing and the general welfare of the family in the home practically covered the iUld of activity, it was not long until the members recognized the fact that there was community housekeeping as well as the housekeeping and mother- ing in theindividrual home. Bo the pro- gram of activity soon included a sur- vey of local resources, needs and poni- bilites, embracing the schools, Ilia aria. civic improvement, public health, social and recreational appur- timities, local relief work, etc. No two branches necessarily (allow the same program; so the activities can be made very attractive and helpful, for there is elasticity mdBeient to meet the needs, desires and ideals of any body of women. General sug- gestiom are given to ail Institutes as t?howtorm?eeedinreotrramagtm- ning, and information as to what ha been aoeompliithed in the moat Inc- coastal Institutes are matter for gen- oral knowkdge. (5) What are the text books? The most important text books utilized by all the Institutes is that unwritten book of practical experience.

The future success of the work depends chiefly upon an enlarged and more efficient Government service along a variety of lines, and the ac- cepting or: greater responsibility on the pox-20f the women of the Insti- tute, in o far as the extension of the work to new centres and stimulating interest in the activities: of the Insti- tute in all communities, is concerned. There is no good reason why the ~Women’s Institute should not be the educator, the administrator, the ad- viser, and the stdeguarder of the best interests of the whole people in every one who announces punishment as in some way the one who also sends it.
