The afternoon session was feat- ured by a very interesting talik giv- en by Mrs, Harvey Dlllillflm, Presi- dent. of the Federated Women's In- stitute of Canada. Othel- matters dealt with were the election oi of- ficers and the adoption of resolu- tions.

Mrs. Raymond Wood, reporting as Provincial Convener of “Educa- tion and Better Schools." said that. there were too many schools in the province. She added that the teach- er's salaries were low and there were too many DOOr teach- ers. She also referred to other edu- cational problems in this province.

Mrs. Allison MacMillan, Fairview, reporting as F.W.I.C. Convenor on “Home Economics", spoke 0f some oi the work being done. She advo- cated tile amalgamation of the convenorships of committees.

Mr. Darby. in his talk about group hospitalization, spoke oi the great advantages to be derived from such a movement. He said it would pro- vide greater social security for the people-in other words it was hos- pital insurance. Many of the mort- gages on Island farms had their Origin in sickness which lasted over a. long period with resultant hospi- tal and doctors bills.

He outlined a plan whereby 8 group of people could obtain hos- pitai treatment for 21 days in any year by paying $10. u. year. This Qould be paid in yearly, semi-an- nual, quarterly or monthly a- mounts. -

Mr. MacDonald, said he repre- sented the Citizens Education Cem- mittee and ilie Tmohers Federation nt the meeting. l-Ie referred t0 i116 magnitude oi the work done by the Women's Institutes for the citizens of this province.

no spoke at length about the need for the establishment oi larg- er administratlve sohovl unit! ill this province, e. unit, he explain- ed, meant the cooperative o era- tion of a certain number of sc ools as one. Four or ten schools could be made into one unit.

The speaker then outlined some oi the advantages to derived from such units. Grades nine lmd ten could be grouped into one cen- tral school or Junior High school.

In conclusion he solicited the support of the Women's Institutes to assist in bringing the matter be- fore the public if hey thought it would improve conditions.

Mrs. Dunham, in her address. outlined the objects of the Federa- tion oi Womeifs Institutes of Can- ada. Tile factors which make the organization unique are that it is the only one which functions en- tirely in ire rural districts and it is independent. she said. The Fed- eration does not exist in urban dis- tricts and never asks for he from any other organization.

Although its work is fundament- al, the organization is interested in the creation of better citizens. "Bet- ter citizenship lie-ads to safer. san- er democracy." Mrs. Dunham said. She doubted if any woman's or-

ization is doing any better work mu the Women's Institutes.

She appealed to the iocul 311d

rovincial institutes to suPlXlTl

li- Dominion Federation so that they would receive the credit due them, Elie urged them to use the r.w.1.c. as a clearlns llellee Wllell donating money for national Plll"

“For the oust thirty years the economic position of the people of Prince Edward Island-particularly of the producers. our farmers and fishermen-has been steadily grow- ing worse. We have been losing ground. our people have been be- coming poorer and poorer until fo- dav our per capita wealth is the lowest in Canada. Coincident with and paralleling this distressing con-
