FOREWORD. 



In this, its first publication, the members of the Advisory Board wish to 

 ^express their appreciation of the confidence reposed in them by the ex- 

 officio members, the Hon. Minister of Agriculture and the Superintendent 

 of Institutes. To both of these gentlemen the Women's Institutes of the 

 Province owe a heavy debt: to Mr. Scott for his prompt and kindly attention 

 to their needs, for his constant interest in their work and for his placing 

 before the Minister, the Department need for the advice of women in its 

 relation with women's organization and work: to the Minister for his cor- 

 dial recognition of this broad-minded attitude and not only for his many 

 expressions of sympathy in Women's Institute' work but for his active co- 

 operation in all movements for the betterment of home and country. 



"If you would have a happy family 14fe remember two things: In mat- 

 ters of principle stand like a rock; in matters of taste swim with the 

 ^current."
