The eleventh Annual Convention of tho Woulen’s institutes of Prln~ co ‘Edward Island opened yesterday when the first session at wllicll there was a largo attendance was held "in the Provincial Technical School in the afternoon.

Miss Helen hlathieson, the Tro- vinciul Supervisor, presided. After ‘the singing of "O Canada," which opened the meeting, the lion. John H. Myers, Minister of Agriculture. delivered all address of welcome to lilo visiting delegates,

Mr- Myers in the course oi‘ his address stated that never before hud he been privileged to spook to :l meeting consisting entirely ol" lud- ies_ It gave him great, pleasure to welcome those who were doing so nlucll for their province, botll in tho capacity of citizens and as nn organization.

The Woulclfs institutes were tak-

ing up the work which the mule members of the communities ilad neglected. Tho time are now gone when wo- men wcrc only of secondary import- ance, when they were not reprcsen ted at the school mot-tings nor on boards of’ school trustees. The spou- ker expressed n hope to see the day when the Organization would be found in every settlement on the Is- and.

ln concluding, Mr. Myers, spoke of the regrettable decline in the population of the Province. due m the exodus of its young men and women. This exodus. ho stated lar gely depended on the geographical position of the Island. but had an- other reason in the Zackflol; proper encouragement on the pert of par- cnts, many of whom were unwm. inf: to give their children an ade- quate start towards gaining a live llhood from the land.

By taking up Institute work un- der Miss I-lnrper's most kind and capable supervision, I feel that I have been very fortunate. One could not work with her without entailing some of her splendid en- thusiasm for she gave all of herself to her work. »

After Miss Harper's reslgnnfon in December I received the appoint- nlcnt of Supervisor, and in January 7th Miss Evelyn Windsor was ap- pointed Assistant Supervisor. \Vc havo not as yet hfld the olportun- ity of meeting all the nleyllbers of the different institutes personally. but we hope to have that pleasure before another Institute year slips by. At the clubs which we have already visited we have received most cordial receptions, and on be- half of Miss Windsor and nlysclf I wish to thank those members for ull the hospitality IlIl(l kindness ex- tended to us wll"lo on those vis- its. . Since December we have had nn increase of six in the number of ilrzluclles, with requests made to organize tllrcc more this month. The new organizations are New (liasgolv, Albcrtun South.

We arc more than pleased to welcome these new In- stltutesland to wish them every success in their work.

Two of the branches have not been very active during the pres- ent year. One has decided to give up for the present but the other is being reorganized this summer, so that to date there are 85 active institutes throughout the province. lly tho end of the summer wo ox- pect to have the number increas- ed to nlncty.

The membership is now 1650- let us aim to make it 2000 before another year goes by.

GRANT

Owing to thu discontinuance of llit‘ Ff-dcrall (irant for Agriculture. if bus ill-on found necessary to make n slight change in tho amount of tho grunt to each Institute. The

Agricultural Year Book of 1923 and from which I quote:—

15th I was the only Supervisor on the staff of the Womens' Institute Branch but with perseverance wus- abie to visit and give demonstra- tions to the greater number of tho Clubs." _

"On October 15th Miss Helen Mnthicson of Chdrlottetown was Illlpointed Assistant Supervisor and from then until November 15th the Work n! visiting the different Clubs was continued. As far as weath. er and road conditions would per- mil ouch Club received one visit from the Supervisors."

"Since June the‘ following Inst. ltutl-s were orgsniledw-Rfnladalo, Eldon. St. Peters South, Little liar. bor, Pleasant Valley, Port Hill and East llidcfnrd, making in all 79 active clubs."

"During the greater pert of Sop tsmber l was ludgingl at School Fairs, and Exhibitions, and found in a. great many places that the Women's institutes were doing much to encourage and rains the standards of the work."

SCHOOLS

In tho pust year over $2500 has been expended on schools by the different Women's institutes. This amount is practically the sumo as. lust your-and it is not larger be- cause nloro nloncy has boon given towards the community this your than ln previous years.

Nearly every Club appdlnts u School Committee of two nlcnl- hers who visit the schools each month and in c-oporntion with the teache s record any necessary changes. Thus tho needs of tho schools are kcpt constantly before tho Institute.

The ways in which money has been expended upon the schools are as followzn-Schoois re-palnted whitewashed, re-floored.

Because of Dense Crowd-s—200,000 People Present Daily

He said u plan was llll flcr way to close the exhibition for a lull day to allow the royal family undisputed possession of the grounds and side shows.

I am glad to report that more clubs are bcconllng interested in community improvement and wel- fare than hcrctoforo and ‘the fin- ancial statements of this past year show that 81200 has been expended for that purpose. The previous year's statement shows that $935 were given towards such work.

Community work in P. E. I. may be listed as foll0\vs:—

Planting of trees and shrubs and flowers.

Building and repairing of side- walks.

Repairing llalls and other public buildings.

Setting aside a piece of land for a park.

Building and keeping in repair rinks.

One of the objects of our great flrgunizaiion is tn arrest rurlll dep- opulfltiou by bringing more inter- osts into tho conlmurlity for our boys and girls and nlcn and wom- en. What could do more towards tll‘s idcal ihun the ilnprnvcluent of the fromnlunitics throughout fin- lsland so that

An active intflrcst has always been shown in our Iied Cross hos- ptnls and orphanages. Money and boxes of clothing were sent to the orphanages, and money and home-made ianl io the hospitals within tho pnst year. The poor families in many districts were aid- ed as mllch as possible.

LIBRARIES

We wish especially to encourage the forming of local libraries lll the different localities so ‘that each woman may have access to the bcsl type of literature. At tho Annusl Convention lust year Miss Holman spoke to you about the Mcflill Tru- veliing [library which! costs but $4.00 for three months. and to which you all have the privilege.
