WOMEN'S INSTITUTES, 1913 



This is the first year we have ever held as many institutes in the State 

 for women as we have for men. With each year interest and number 

 in attendance increase. This is well. Someone has very truthfully 

 said that "The home is the center of all life and that woman is the center 

 of the home." This being true we can most effectively reach the people 

 of the community through the women, therefore, it is well that we shall 

 support with all diligence this feature of our institute work. 



The first Women's Institutes held in the State were in 1906, when 21 

 institutes were held in 19 counties. Since then they have grown in 

 numbers and attendance each year until this year we held 260 Women's 

 Institutes in 97 counties and with a total attendance of 23,007. 



The following is a partial list of the subjects discussed at the Women's 

 Institutes :
