Let us for a moment think about this amazâ€" ing woman. In her own time she was con} sidered an upstart. Her ideas were so new an untried they were viewed With SUSPlCIOI’l by most of her contemporaries. Her courage was regarded as fool-hardiness. her foresight an impractical dream. If she had allowed herself to become one of the crowd or had been contented to accept her world as she found it. and her already established place as an at- tractive and intelligent young housew1fe In her community. we would not now have one of the most influential world wide organiza- tions in our society. the Women's Institute and the Associated Country Women of the World. The profession of home economist and the home sciences would have eventually been deâ€" veloped along with other sciences but would not have been accepted as a part of our life or be put to such practical use in our daily lives. If she had not founded the college at Guelph known as Macdonald Institttte. to train highly qualified home economists to take their knowl- edge into the farm kitchens and rural com- munities. our whole concept of the dignity of homemaking and child raising would not have attained such high levels so quickly. She helped to bring the intellectual and the spiritual into our daily lives through our ties with women like ourselves in every country where Women’s Institutes exist. Are we today worthy successors to this great woman? Can We put into practice the dreams and ideas of our present leaders? Can we accept this modern world with its rapid change and move progressively into a future that only a few can even imagine? Of course, change is uncomfortable! How nice it is to settle comfortably into our tried and proven thoughts and actions! How nice to keep traditions. to follow established routines! What was good enough for our fathers is not good enough to meet the needs of our present- day problems. We must cherish our traditions and the warm sense of comfort they give us, but our actions and decisions must be made Wllh open-minded dedication to our present day goals, Adelaide Hoodless would be the first to give us this advice, I am sure. If she could take her place today as our leader I am sure she would be proud of her successors. Shevwould not allow Us to rest on our laurels or live on past achievements. She would urge us to learn new techniques and attitudes and learn. learn. learn to accept our changing world. We have such leaders today. Only time separates the ideals of Adelaide Hoodless from those of our own. Let us give these leaders the support and encouragement we would grant to our founder should she return to lead us again. 28 lucy Evaloardiuk, an Eskimo girl, signing: i1ilor5' Book of Nipissing Junction Women's 1. n;E articles on the table are Eskimo handicrrii' ONTARIO INSTITUTE it ES AN ESKIMO FRIEh By Mrs. J.
