( 2) That we take particular note of the effect of the new system of marki
n g the examination papers. Let us get the actual number of passes
i n our own districts, and note whether the number of passes obtained
is larger and the percentages are much higher than usual under the
former system. Let us watch these for several years, and also let us
watch the attitude of students in those grades compared w i t h that of
students in the grades marked by the Department of Education. T h is
is a tremendous innovation; let us give our most careful attention to
its effect, and let us decide whether we can endorse economy such as
this in our schools, as being for their betterment.
( 3) That we continue health study through Red Cross Societies, through
posters, health rhymes, etc., and let us make careful stud}' of the
effect of cigarette smoking upon our young g i r l s ; ( 1) in the increase
of tuberculosis among them; ( 2) and as prospective mothers.
If the outlines of previous years have been kept, much good can be der
i v e d by consulting these as to former subjects taken up.
I shall be very glad to give any help possible to those desiring i n f o r m a t i on
along these lines. I shall appreciate your co- operation in sending to me copies
of especially good papers along these lines, for use in other Institutes.

Mrs. Wellington Huyck, Strome, Convener.
It is my privilege and pleasure to again report the activities of . our A . W . I,
along lines of P u b l i c H e a l t h and Child Welfare. W h i l e c o m p i l i n g this report
I was • t h o r o u g h l y convinced of the fact that our women fully " believe in" and
" act upon" the maxim " life is not a cup to he drained, but a measure to be
filled."
Of necessity fas our work does not materially change from year to year)
my report this year must b e . s i m i l a r to the one presented at last year's Convention.
Maternal Work
In. 1929, in A l b e r t a 1310 babies died; 34% of them in the first week of
life. The greatest cause of death in the early weeks of life is pre- maturity,
the baby had not the growth and v i t a l i t y a strong mother . would have
afforded. Pre- natal instruction and care is a dire necessity. Twenty- six
branches report having semt out . pre- natal letters and mother's books. One
reports keeping on hand a maternity bag' f u l l y equipped including layette,
and it is used when and where necessary throughout. the township. Six other
branches report furnishing layettes and one branch gives $ 15.00 per month
to help maternal cases.
Two branches own and operate hospitals where maternal cases receive
special attention. One branch which worked hard for a cottage hospital . in
a district where maternal cases were suffering from want of proper care have
the satisfaction of seeing the hospital an accomplished fact, where 22 maternal
cases were cared for last year with 20 l i v i n g babies.
