S I X T E E N T H A N N U A L C O N V E N T I ON 33
The programs at the meetings of the local Institutes have been very-interesting
and have dealt with the various outstanding topics of the day.
I note in particular that there is a general trend toward i n v i t i n g specialists
i n their line to speak on any given topic.
V e r y excellent work is being done by the Institutes along the lines indicated
by the Provincial Chairmen of Standing Committees. But the Chairmen
concerned will be presenting it to you in their reports, so I shall not review
it here.
A t the Constituency Conferences last fall there was a total of 1219 delegates
present. The largest Conference was that of Ribstone with an attendance
of 165. We had the pleasure of a visit from our Provincial President
at seven of these Conferences, where by her words of encouragement she
stimulated us to increased activity i n furthering the objects of the Women's
Institutes.
In March a District Conference was held at Drumheller, where the 125
delegates found the members of Drumheller Institute most gracious hostesses.
At this Conference excellent reports of the work done in the various Constituencies
were given by the Constituency Conveners.
We were fortunate in having Dr. H a r r y Thompson address the Conference
on the subject of Oral Hygiene. Mrs. Gibson of Drumheller read an
excellent paper on " Our Mother Tongue."
One of the outstanding matters resolved upon at this Conference was
the establishment of scholarships in the Olds School of Agriculture as a
D i s t r i c t project. These scholarships, valued at $ 50.00 each, are to be awarded
in 1931 and 1932 as follows:
( 1) In the Domestic Science Branch, to the student in the first year
t a k i n g the best standing in practical cooking, sewing and household
administration, and
( 2) In the A g r i c u l t u r e Course, to the student in the first year obtaining
the highest standing in the practical exercises in gas engines, black-smithing,
carpentry, stock judging, weed identification, grain judging
and grading.
The funds to pay these scholarships are to be raised by a fee of $ 1.00 to
be paid each year by each Institute to the Constituency Convener at the time
the Constituency dues are paid. The Constituency Convener w i l l then forward
the total amount to the District Director, who w i t t l i e responsible for advanci
n g the necessary amount to the School,
The next District Conference will be held in Red Deer in 1932. The
expenses of this Conference will be paid out of the District fund which
consists of a fee of 50c per Institute to be paid to the Constituency Convener
before the date of the Conference.
Before closing my report I wish to pay tribute to the Constituency Conveners
and others who have given so much of their time and thought to our
work and whose faithful co- operation has been responsible for the measure
of success already attained by the Alberta Women's Institutes.
