Beginning May 27th, 1930, m» Has- zard and I have come in touch with sixty-eight. institutes through eight uvmvqntltml.

We wish to take this opportunity to thank the members in the different districts for their kind hospitality. and we are also grateful to. and wish to thank. the members of the Medical As- sociation. Banatorium Commission, Red Cross Society and other speakers for very interesting and instructive ad- dresses given at these different con- ventlons.

Communities

The sum of one thousand seven hur- spent this year for the betterment of our communities. Is it any wonder that we find the communities where there are institutes looking so prosperous? As these communities continue to improve are they not presenting added induce- ments to keep our boys and girls happy and contented in their home province which at present too many are prone to leave?

Skating rinks in different communit- ies received generous assistance.

Hockey teams were encouraged ani banqueted by their home Clubs

New halls have been biillt and old ones have been renovated by paintil-g of the interiors and exteriors. by addit- ion of stoves. gas lamps, pianos or or- gans and by n " other improvements. Some of the izer villages have ll:- stalled street l . .:=_ .

A number cl’ new libraries have been established and those previously begun have expanded.

A number of Institutes have been lIl- strumental in forming Home Nursing classes in their communities. This is a step which we trust will be followed by many more clubs. ‘ Much interest was taken in the ar- ranging of the programme of the meet- ings. for the Institutes are realizirg gramme is for a successful meeting and if we are going to have successful Institutes we must have successful meetings.

The welcoming of newcomers, the. carrying of good clicer to the sick and attention to needy families have all been attended to by Iuslitilte members. Hospitals, Orphanagea. etc.

'I‘wo years iigo the Institute accepted the slogan "A Sanlitorliim for Print" Edward Island" and I have already stated the resolution which was pass- ed by the executive making the Ili- stitutes responsible for the equipping of the sanatorium. In‘ September. I929. a campaign was held for the sanatorlum and during that time the institute canvassed the country districts with the result that approximately $25,000 was pledged. At present the Institutes are planning on

essary: and a few of the Institutes are furnishing comforters and pillow-i. Much has already been done. but there still remains a great. many way in which the Institutes can be of assist- ance.

Exhibitions And School Fairs.

During September of last year, the judging at School Fairs and at the Georgetown, Alberton. Souris and Egmont Bay Exhibitions proved an interesting work. Year by year the Institutes are increasing their inter- est in this project. We must realize that it is a wonderful project only when we have honest competition. and the Institutes can do a great. deal more than they are doing by instilling the thought of honest com- petition into the minds of the child- ren, and if the membm would co- operate in every way possible with the teacher. the result would be big- ger and better school Fairs than ever before. This year mesa has been expended on school fairs.

Short Course; and Night Classes in Home Economics. '

The mid-winter Short Courses in Home Economies. under the direc- tion ot the Women's Institute, were hold during the months of January. February and March. For the first course. commencing -January 20th and ending February‘ 7th. we had eighteen students enrolled. During the three weeks, classes were given lip-Cookery, Dressmaklng. Mllllnery and Home Nursing as Well as demon- strations and talks on Correct Table Setting and Service. Care of the House, and the Making of Paper Flowers. This course was brought to a close by the students being at home to the members of the Govern- ment and friendsto whom a Valen- tino tea was served.‘
