others who are not members to make up the umber required for the course. Two courses 'n Dressmaking are offered. In the first course he members each make a cotton dress or louse or skirt and in doing this they learn the elementary principles and techniques of good dressmaking. The second conrse is more ad- anced and may be taken only by those who ave completed the first course. The newest approved methods are taught and the size of the class is limited so that the instructor can give individual attention to every member. The woman who would like to learn to do her own dressmaking has an opportunity in these courses that would cost a considerable sum if she had to take them from a commercial SO LII'CE. “Millinery” is a new course this year, pro- vided because so many women asked for it. following the classes at the Institute Holiday at Guelph last summer. The course runs for three days; each member of the class makes a hatâ€"sometimes more than one.

Health Education Our health education program begins with “An Ounce of Prevention”, 3 very practical course on how to avoid or prevent accidents in the home, how to get rid of some of the comâ€" mon hazards that seem to invite trouble. A discussion by class members adds to the in- terest, and the conference includes some first- aid demonstration. There are courses dealing with simple nurs- ing skills and techniques important to every homemaker, since sickness comes to most homes at one time or another. The course, “Hints for the Home Nurse", includes some very practical improvisations of sick room equipment and the reading of a clinical ther- mometer. “Home Care of the Sick” is a course in general nursing methods and includes demonstrations in bed-making and bathing a bed patient. In the last two courses the ab tendance is limited to not more than eighteen, so that everyone may have a chance to prac» tice the nursing techniques under the nurse‘s supervision. In the way of general health information there are two courses: “Medicine-Yesterday and Today” and “You and Your Family’s Health", a session on public health and preven- tive medicine. There is no limit to the size of the class for these two courses, and we feel it is important that every woman in the com- munity should be invited. The information given is important to the health of the whole community as well as to the individual. Numâ€" bers of women have reported that after the course on “You and Your Family’s Health" they fEIt they should see their doctor about some symptom of their own and that a serious ailment was treated while it was still curable.
