72 A L B E R T A WOMEN'S INSTITUTES
Put on a programme for the pupils; it might be a holiday party, a special
film or talks on, " When I Went to School." A spelling match or quiz programme
with both pupils and W. I. members taking part, might be arranged
and would be good fun.
Ask the pupils to put on a programme for you. It might be in dramatics,
music, household science or physical education.
Arrange a meeting where a discussion will be led by competent persons
on such subjects as:
The Well Equipped School.
Report Cards and Their Value.
Examinations, Pro and Con, Their Merits and Weakness.
The Problem Child.
The Gifted Child.
Training of the Pre- School Child.
To curb the faddist and propagandist, as well as to bring out all sides of
any question, arrange for discussion to follow any and every address or paper.
At the end of the year tell us how you find the Large Unit.
For Yourselves— Airange a meeting where all your members will take
some active part. Suggestions: Have a quiz programme on a subject selected
a month previously, for example:
The School Act, The Constitution and By- laws of the A. W. I.
Fifty Things a Women's Institute Member Should Know ( write Mrs.
R. E . Wood).
Where Does the Institute Dollar Go ( See Financial Statement in the
Convention Report).
Have these quiz programmes conducted by some one who really knows
the answers as would be done in the " True or False" contests and questionnaires.
None of these will be a success unless several members really work
to make it so and the more members who work, the greater success the
meeting will be. Tell us which was your best.
In time of national stress the importance of the work of this Committee
is of particular significance. Most of our troubles, both national and international,
are due to a false idea of value, to hate and prejudice, which are
based on indifference and ignorance. It is a prerequisite of any lasting peace
on earth, that the childi- en of this and other lands shall be brought up not
only to tolerate, but to understand and respect the children of other lands.
This can be done, it must be done, in our homes and in our schools. It is up
to you, Women's Institutes! Will you do your bit?
Write to your Convener at any time, i f you think she can help you with
material or ideas.
