14 ALBERTA WOMEN'S INSTITUTES
In Germary fifteen million women were enrolled in the movement and were
benefitting from the training. The purpose is to lift up Germany.
In Russia the slogan was for a strong and healthy nation. Institutes are
held for the care of the mother and child. A new freedom for women is found in
Russia, despite the fact that much of the manual work is done by women.
In Scandinavia, cleanliness was outstanding. Progress has been made in
these countries by their co- operative movements. The Folk High Schools were
very effective in their methods of training.
A few minutes of assembly singing were very much enjoyed.
The new Alberta Federation of Women was then discussed. Moved by
Mrs. Wood, seconded by Mrs. Clark: " That because of our financial stress that
we do not affiliate with the Alberta Federation of Women."
An amendment, moved by Mrs. Morley, seconded by Mrs. Ridley: " That
this matter be left over until the next Convention so that the Institutes may
have a chance to discuss it." Amendment carried.
Moved by Mrs. Bates, seconded by Mrs. Hosegood: " That the Alberta
Women's Institutes continue the publishing of the magazine." Carried.
Moved by Mrs. Rothwell and Mrs. Scott: " That some form of appreciation
be tendered Mrs. Ferguson." Carried.
Moved by Mrs. Bates and Mrs. Champion: " That we give Mrs. Ferguson
something tangible and permanent as a token of our thought." Mrs. Smith
and Mrs. Brown moved an amendment: " That the gift be by donations of those
present." Carried.
Moved by Mrs. Fulcher and Mrs. Evans: " That a hearty vote of thanks be
extended to Mrs. Montgomery and Mrs. Rogers for their splendid work on the
History." Carried.
The remaining resolutions were then dealt with. All the resolutions will be
found on pages 15 to 19.
Moved by Mrs. Galbraith and Mrs. Scott: " That a vote of thanks be tendered
the retiring officers." Carried.
The Convention adjourned, to meet in Edmonton in 1939.
