When an Institute has its new programmes in hand it would be a much 

 appreciated act of courtesy to let the Advisory Board have copies. There 

 can thus be an interchange of programmes with other Institutes in the 

 Province. 



There are many other ways in which funds could be disposed of to ad- 

 vantage. But it is considered that the Institutes are formed for a distinct 

 purpose to improve home and neighbourhood conditions and as such are not 

 charitable but rather educational in their work. All sorts of claims are 

 made upon the Institute all over the Province many of which it is impos- 

 sible to disregard and local conditions will help to decide what is best. But 

 the aims of any organization ought to be steadfast even if our sympathies 

 divert our attention now and again. We ought always to be able to come 

 back to our work for the improving of home and neighbourhood conditions." 



"The men of this country have failed in their duty and responsibility in 

 connection with the country school house. * * * The men have not been 

 able to solve that question, and if it is going to be solved it is up to you 

 women to rebuild and regenerate the country school house." C. C. James, 

 Deputy Minister of Agriculture, Ontario.
