EDUCATION Mrs. Douglas Bell. Cape Traverse, Convener oi Education submitted the following report:- Madam President. Madam Super- visor and Fellow Members: Your response to the Question- naire on Education and Better Schools has been splendid. A few more Questionnaires were returned than last year. This has been most encouraging to your Con- venor and 1 thank you for your generous co-operation. Not only were questionnaires returned but sreral personal‘ letters as well as papers and suggestions for the 1941 questionnaire were included. These have been of real value and have given me new inspiration for the work ahead. Our topic "Secondary Education in Rural Schools" is I believe, meeting with p, generous response in many communities and by further field-work and arousing further educational interest our efforts will some day reap bene- fits. Tho greater number report the value o such a system but many feel it would not. be suitable in their localities and others are so situated that they may avail them- selves of the privileges offered by attending Summerslde High School. Mon ue Memorial School and the Prncc oi Wales College. The general opinion is that four or five districts could convenient- ly avail themselves 0i a 6611110 101' rural secondary education while others say as many as ten com- munities could take advantage of such a central school. Man sug cations were made for the flna c ‘r3 of such central schools as. ary of teacher mid by government: laboratory equip- ment supplied by department: oth- er equipment supplied by districts.

McDonald. the Con- vener on Agriculture presented the following report:- Madam President, Supervisors. Ladies and Gentlemen: This being my first report 1115.‘! I begin by thanking you for the honor you have done me in ap- pointing mo our Convenor of Agriculture. {n preparlns mi’ Questdonn ire I wondered 11151 what the rural women would wish to have in it this year for dis- cussion at their meetings. After thinking for some time I finally came to this uuHClUllOnI What would interest them more than to have beautiful farm homes. nicely decorated, sanitary, whitewashed outbuildings and fences. vegetable flfld flower gardens, paths, trvfl. c c. Someone may say "You did not mention all those thin s in the Questionnaire. Not drectly- 3111 the Questionnaire does say some: thing about "Homes on Farms.

And how are pa farm woman 801118 W l“ money for these things when we have to use every cent the farm produces in order to support 0111' lamllles and educate them in col- lege? Educate! In College! Many go to college for years and then they are not. educated. May I thrown in a suggestion right here? First teach the family right at home the art of good livinll. 1116 elimination of waste and the pro- per use of money. Although at times it is difficult for a farmer to make ends meet on account of the high cost of farming operations too much money goes to waste on frivolous things. I believe that boys and girls raised on iarrns, who work with their hands, and learn by experi- ence how to make and repair, and to do things worthwhile for them- selves. are Just as truly educated. in their own line, as are those in other professions in the line of work which they take up. They can make IoI‘ themselves what those in other professions must buy and so get along with less I money. We should not forget that we, as individuals, are all part. of a. beautiful plan. ‘ So the first essential in my mind is Education and Ability, the second is Industry and Economy and the third is Patience and Per- severance, and to tllese must be added (Jo-operation, for without it much of the beauty of our home life would be lost. It is not how much work one may do that counts it is how well the work is done. The Short Courses sponsored by gthe Government are a great boon to the young farmer. There he can improve himself by learning new ideas along the line of work he is doing from experts trained in that profession. There also the young ladi-rs can improve them- selves in Domestic Science and in the art of Home Making. Lady Tweedsmiur once said “We, in the Women's Institute move- ment, stand for quality not quant- ity. If we are going to be writ- ers, words should be our slaves, riot ollr masters if artists. paints 530llld be our slaves not our mas- ters. There is no use doing poor handicrafts or writing badly. I would urge on you, when you are budgeting that you see to it that you get the best teachers and the best lecturers and clo ‘not pill. up with anything else. We are not a welfare or relief bureau. We must remember that although it is good to have our hearts and our hands open, we should regard our own work as serious and big. If we do not our Womens Institute work will not have any permanence." Now we come to the Question- naire; it is based on "Education and Economy". It begins by say- ing: "Boys and girls of Prince Ed- w-ard Island who intend making homes for themselves on farms MUST know how to take proper care of farm animals and farm machinery. Will the members of the Women's Institutes encourage them along these lilies?" We all know, even in this age of motor cars, tractors, etc.. how very important the horse is to the farmer. A good horse is worth giv- iz-g, tire best of care. Feed your horse and look after his health and he will work for you. The aver- age farmer cannot afford to lose one. The old adage "An ounce of pre- vention is worth a pound of cure" has been well maintained judging by the answers I received in the Questionnaires on the Feeding and Car of Horses and on Colics and the Bot Fly menace. We have learned that it is the food given to a horse at certain times under certain conditions that brings on Collcs. The best cure ls the one that will relieve the pain in the shortest rlod of time. NOTE: I have a l.st on hand of Colic and Bot, Fly remedies which I received in the Questionnaires. The question of Ear Protectors is evidently a new idea for Prince Edward Islanders. One woman re- plied she did not think that horses‘ ears needed protectors as nature provided them with that protection. Another replied that horses’ ears do need protection from flies in summer. Three others re- plied that several farmers in their districts were using them. Many others expressed themselves as never having heard of them but were interested and asked for in- formation. The following is a copy of the letter which I wrote them inlfreply and which speaks for it.- se . "The ear protectors for horses spoken of in the Questionnaire on Agriculture are to protect the ani- mal's ears from he little black fly which is so troublesome in the cropping and haying seasons. These [flies pester the horses by getting into their noses and cars, and make some horses so nervous that it is almost impossible to work with -the-m. They are also known, to icause lumps and scales inside the ear and to cause other serlius harm. Did you ever notice a horses’ ears so bent over that they have the appearance of being broken in the middl 7 Flies are known to do this. Nose protectors for the Bot Fly can be bought lri the stores.

I aha-ll not repeat about. but. from an -c stand int I shall give you a few enar di- rectlons which may be eipful: — Alum added to whitewash pre- vents its rubbing off; flour Data will also prevent rubbing off, but when it is used, sulphate of zinc must also be used as a preserva- tive; A pint of molasses added to five gallons of whitewash will cause it to penetrate zhe wood and plaster better; ,A solution of Silicate of Soda or Water Glass makes a fireproof cement of whitewash when used in the proportion of one part of the solution to ten parts oi the whitewash; By adding one pound oi cheap bar soap dis- solved in one gallon of water, to every gallon of mute- wash, a gloss similar to oil paint may be obtained. A fact not genes-all known is that whitewash may colored. provided that light tints and shades are used, and that. the pig- merits are not. affected by the lime. Among such are yellow ochre, raw and burnt umber and raw and burnt sienna, cobalt blue and chrome green and other shades. I have been very kindly advis- ed by a l-ady from Sherbrooke Wo- men's Institute that Sulphate of Zinc used in whitewash is a dead- lv poison and when you are hand- ling it is safer.to use gloves and goggles. A lady from St. Andrews also informed me that a book entitled "Insects and Allied Parasites In- jurious to Livestock and Poultry in Canada" can be obtained from the Department of Agriculture, Ottawa. In conclusion I wish to con- gratulate all who answered the Questionnaires. and returned them to me, for their interest and for th intelligent answers I received. In all 96 Questionnaires were re- turned. To the Institutes that did not return their Questionnaires I would say: Perhaps they have been too busy in the routine of their daily duties and in Red Cross work to tal..- time off for what they con- sidered work of lesser importance. Or perhaps some thought that the way they would answer the ques- tions would not be considered good enough. To them I would say: Material to help answer the Ques- tionnaires can be readily obtained bv writing to the Women's In- stitute Branch, Charlottetown. Thank you. F.W.I.C. CONVENTION Mrs‘ Fred Macbaren gave following report on the FEW (‘onven tlon :-—- The Board of Directors of the Federated Women's Institute of Canada met for their 11th Biennial Convention at Edmonton, Alberta, on October 9th to 13th, 1939. Representatives from the nine provinces were in attendance and all seemed imbued with a spirit of co-operatlon and friendliness and a sincere desire to do everything possible to maintain the high posi- tion which the organization holds in the service of our country. To this end, at the flrshsession. a re- solution. offerinc; the services of 3000 Women's Institutes in every part of Canada. was sent to the Prime Ministers of Great Britain and Canada. Iiater a Wartime Service Committee was appointed to study ways and means of rend- ering all possible service to the Do- minion Government. After their report was adopted bv the Board a letter was sent to the Hon. J. G. Gardiner. Federal Minister of Agriculture. To save time and prevent dup- lication your directors have ar- ranged to present the reports of different national conveners. To me has been allotted Education, Public Health, Agriculture, Immi- gration, Canadianizaticn and Na- tional Events. EDUCATION - No re t on Education had been ubmitted and, as the national Convener of this committee was not present, Mrs. Harley Dunham was appointed chairman to open the round table discussion. Members from each province voiced their opinions on this subject and much valuable in- formation was elicited. It would appear that the western provinces have gone further in modernizing the curricula and methods of teaching than have those in the east; Alberta being the most advarlvd. Here they are establishing the Enterprise Sys- tom of Education and the Larger Unit of Administration. The lat- ter 60 to 112 schools to a unit. It makes for better financing, but. there is difficulty in equalizing the salaries. Uniform text books for all the provinces. teaching of a more pa- triotic citizenship, support for sew- ing, calf and ultry clubs and adult study cluns were advocated. One member stated that the Na- tional Tcxt Book Committee was not in favor of the uniform text book idea-that it led to regi- mentatlon.

Mrs. McI-aohlan of Bntish Col- umbir suggested that .ach pro- vincial convener oo-operatc with her own Health Dqartmcnt. She told how the study of soil was found necessary in the Fraser Val- ley as important ingredients are sometimes lacking. Mrs. Campbell told of ilho home in Alberta for the Jalninl o! mental defectives. Mrs. Ducic and Miss Oxner told of Saskatchewan's success in the treatment of tuberculosis. Mrs. Duriham spoke of the proposed plan of establishing a home for eeble minded children in New This province boasts had the first. Minister of Public ealth in the British Em- pire. The necessity of having re- gular examination of school chil- ('.I'L.l for Tuberculosis was cm- haslud. Other matters pertain- g to public health and phtheria, aid for control o cancer research, importance of knowledge of early symptoms of this disease, study of food values and rural home sanitation. ‘ AGRICULTURE — Beautifica- tlon of farms and neighborhoods seemed to be the theme of the provincial reports on Agriculture. The national oonvener, Mrs. Ducle, referred to farming as a way of life as well :< a means of liveli- hood. Sbe said that the farmer is an optimist and a gambler, always ready to try his luck again. As she is a resident of Saskatchewan we can realize that she knows where- of she speaks. She mentioned the iarmers‘ most powerful ally. agri- cultural research, which enables him to co-operate with nature and, by so co-operatirig, to conquer. The round table discussion: fol- lowing Mrs. Dude's report brought forth many ideas on what farm women can do to heln win the war. Mrs. Watt, A.C.W.W.. President. advocated increased food produc- tlon. especially dairying, poultry, ‘vegetable gardening and bee keep- rig. Increasv‘ ‘"me consumption of apples. and the use of apple juice as a national drink was advised as was the canning of meats. vege- tables and fruits. Travelling com- munity carining outfits have been found successful in different parts of British Columbia. As our souroes of vegetable and flower seeds are the countries of Europe now at war and the United States, the raising of these seeds at home was urged. Study the Do- minion Seed Act and obtain all possible information from Experi- mental Stations and extension workers. IMMIGRATION. CANADIAN- IZATION AND NATIONAL EVENTS - In her report Mrs. Ashworth told of the Hornby Plan of supervised immigration and the Fairbridge Farm School S stem. Mention was also made o the Sudetan German group which set- tled in the Peace River section of B.C. in April 1939. They have cleared much land and are mak- ing a success. The women have been invited to attend Women's Institute meetings and are now duirous of forming an Institute of their own and are anxious to learn English. Mrs. Ashworth has established a policy of uniting letters of wel- come arid sending Christmas cards to women arriving in Canada to Join their husbands and to girls coming here to be married. Various ways of assisting in Canadianizatlon were followed in different provinces. Support of the. Dominion-Provincial Youth Train- ing Plan; collecting historic data on their localities; unveiling of historic calms; placing wreaths on looal ccnotaphs; commemorating Armistice Day are a few that were mentioned. The most noteworthy event of the year was the visit of ‘Their Ma esties to Canada. This visit un oubtedly has strengthened the ties which bind us to the Mother- land and to the sister members of the British Commonwealth of Na- ons. In conclusion, I wish to mention again the deep feeling of loyalty that permeated the whole conven- tlon. All seemed to realize that it is Britain and her navy that stand between us and destruction. The lines that Kipling wrote in 1914 express the situation of the Em- pire ay:- "No easy hope or lies Shall bring us to our goal, But iron sacrifice [Of body. will and soul. There is but one task for all — ~One l’fe for each to give. Who stands if England fall Who dies if England live?" CANADIAN INDUSTRIES Mrs. Herbert Thompson.

Practically all Institutes are in favor of Co-operation provided the people will work together and pa- tronize only the co-operatlves. If everybody put his shoulder to the wheel and did his part. then the farmers of Prince Edward Island would greatly benefit from it. Thinking farmers in general arc beginning to realize that, while the family farm may be an efficient producing unit. it is not an ef- ficient marketing unit. Sound ef- flcient co-operatives are to a large extent the solution of many of the farmers’ marketing roblems. No co-oparatives will successful without good teamwork and their future success depends on every citizen of our country’. it de- volves on each individual to as- sist. co-cporative effort in every possible manner. Business men at stock-taking season give thought to profitable possibilities which exist in their business.
