tions made verbally or taken from slips which members post in 

 the Institute's suggestion box. Items on the programmes are 

 there by express wish of the members and not because an in- 

 fluential section thinks it '* good " for the members to have 

 lectures on certain subjects. Any programme, therefore, may 

 be regarded as a mirror of the character, aspirat^.ons and level 

 of education attained by each village with an Institute. 



In dealing with Institutes in Dorset the movement and its 

 progress have been considered as a whole ; accounts of the 

 everyday activities of Women's Institutes are commonly pub- 

 lished in the local papers of nearly every county. Should details 

 at anytime be wanted, the headquarters, The National Federation 

 of Women's Institutes at 26, Eccleston Street, S.W.I, will always 

 be pleased to supply full particulars.
