Mr. Scott spoke of the inauguration of the new W. I. at Hazelmere, 

 and stated that it was his intention to ask the nearest member of the 

 Board to be present at an inaugural meeting so as to speak on Institute 

 work and give the help at the outset that a new Institute was sure to 

 need. He instructed Mrs. Watt, as Mrs. Davies was absent, to attend 

 the inaugural meeting of the Hazelmere Institute. 



He also brought up a letter from the Matsqui Institute,- asking him 

 to attend the flower show there and to send some one to speak on the 

 value of flower shows. He instructed the Secretary to find some one 

 to go and speak on the value of flower shows. Mr. Scott thought that 

 some one could be secured in Vancouver, and the Secretary was directed to 

 get some one frpm there if possible. 



The matter of there being a need for a better knowledge of procedure 

 among Institutes was discussed. It was decided to ask if it could be 

 recommended to the Institutes to have at hand some authority on pro- 

 cedure. Mr. Scott thought it would be possible to have them provided 

 with a work on order and conduct of meetings and so forth if the cost 

 were not too great. He instructed the Secretary to submit estimates 

 of various works. Mrs. Watt thought that the Year Book of the L. C. W. 

 gave in a condensed form all the necessary information. It was a com- 

 pilation from the Canadian authority, Bourinot.

 Institutes could themselves secure as they so wished. The list of speakers 

 was then carefully drawn out and the following recommendations were 

 made.
