'Women-find'employment in almost
every avenue of,4ndeavor. In niany,
eases women have doffed kitchen ap-
ions and donned overalls. One wo-
man is a mining engineer, there are.
electrical .engineers, civil engineers,.
painters, . boiler makers, ' barbers',"
chaul euis and what not. And,'(s'ome
people may be surprised at this)',
there'are in the Dominion 80,000 do-
mestic workers. Indeed, women have
just to make . up their minds what
they want to do nowadays and then
go to work and fit thetnselves for it.
Not only have women been taking
their places in the ranks of the coun-
try's workers but they have been tak-
ing a very prominent part in public
affairs. In proof look at the number
of women's organizations all over the
Dominion, organizations for the up-
lift and good of mankind. The. Datigh-t
tern of the Empire, the Council of
Women and Women's Institute, to;
name only a few. -These have all been
organized in recent years because
public-spirited women saw the need
of such organizations, and set about
forming them. Womn have always
been foremost in works of social re-
form, such as temperance work, Red
Cross, etc.,.and during the war they
did remarkably in all kinds' of pat-
riotic work, from the knitting of soaks
and the rolling . of bandages to the
making of munitions and the driving
of transports in France. ..
But in spite of the fact that for
many years women have been gain-
ing in freedom o: action and have
taken a foremost and prominent .part
in public work it was not. until 1920
that Canadian women were admitted
to full citizenship by being given the
privilege of voting, on an equality

It is doubtful if any one .of that group of men known es "The
Fathers of Confederation" really visualized the tremendous strides
that would be made within three score years' in the vast territory
now called the Dominion of Canada. Methods of communication
and transportation are now in daily use of which they knew nothing;
rnachiiery, has displaced manual labor to. an extent that must be
regarded as. beyond the wildest dreams of the far -visioned men of
1867, They could see wonderful possibilties,for development in this
far-flung t1ut sparsely -peopled land, and in bringing about the unity
of the separate provinces under the Britishflag, surely "they builded
better than they knew."
It is difficult to grasp the extent of Canada's development by
marc masses of cold figures. The eve can convey the message more
readily to the brain by means of pictures, and in the graph here
producd only population-' and 'a few of the. major industries are
•touched upon. Our captoins of industry and visitors from other
Iands are firmly of the ()pinion that Canada is on the verge of an era
of unprecedented 7tttosperit5t across the seas thousands of eyes turn
yearningly toward'our; shores as'the •land of freedom and opportunity.
What(will the next sixth+, years bring? Ours is" a . great heritage—
let us be' worthy of it!
Dominion House, Miss MacPhail, but
for several years and in several prove
inces women have served as legisla-
tors. It is sometimes held against
thein that wonien are slow to take ad-
vantage of
d-vantageof t ear privileges and "run
for office,' But I cannot see any-
thing wrong about it. Women may
not want to make the laws of the
country but they have every right as:.
citizens of the country to have a say
as to who shall make its laws. Wo-
men maybe content for the most part
to let men govern the country; they
will, however, in ever increasing num
bels, have their say as to what men
shall govern the country.
Probably in on particular has there.
been made Jnore progress in the last
three score years than in the status.
and the standing of women.,
