The aim and object in preparing, the yearly programmes has always, been to have papers, exhibits, demon strations and discussions of educato ional value. In preparing this historical sketch, it would be difficult to mention names, of all the faithful and loyal members-,, but one is reminded that the motto "For Home and Country” was the aim. of their' lives. Many of the charter members were pioneer women who came into this country when’ it was- bush and played an important part in establishing homes, churches, and! schools, the three essentials of. a country in which to live. Most off these women have been called to- their last home and if we, the present mem bers, wish to follow in their- loot steps, shoulder the care and respon sibilities they have laid down and'1 fol low the high standards set for us; as. Institute members, we must always, keep in mind our motto “For Homa and Country.” THOSE FRENCH.
