have aroused a greater interest in the study of the laws governing our daily
lives.
Outline for Standing Committee on Legislation, 1930- 31.
I would suggest the following subjects for special study during 1930- 31
by the Alberta Women's Institutes:
1. Make a careful study of new constitution and by- laws of our organization.
This will be found as an appendix to the Annual Report. Each member
of the Institutes should be familiar with our constitution.
2. Study Provincial Legislation passed with respect to the Natural Resources
which are about to be returned to the Province by the Dominion
Government.
3. Study the findings of The Hague Conference on the question of the
Naturalization of Married Women.

REPORT OF STANDING COMMITTEE ON HOUSEHOLD ECONOMICS
Mrs. Maurice Gossip, Calgary, Convener.
In submitting to you my report as Convener of Household Economics I
wish to state that this has been my only experience in Women's Institute
work. On this account I am unable to make any comparisons with the work
of former years or estimate the degree of success which has attended our
efforts this year.
Last July I prepared an outline for study and practical endeavor, choosing
for the main topic. '' The Protection of Children," by means of suitable and
adequate food, together with healthful and sanitary conditions at school.
This was chosen because of its great importance. The children after all constitute
the great treasure of the household. To safeguard this is the appointed
task of parents. Doing all that can be done to provide children with food
suitable and adequate tor their age gives them a better chance for happiness
and achievement in later years. The hot lunch at school was the project
suggested in the outline. Wherever the hot lunch has been it has met with
universal favor. Parents and children are pleased alike with it and teachers
have found it a great help in their school work. Children are more alert and
receptive.
F o l l o w i n g the first outline three other printed sheets were sent out, v i z . :
Food Requirements of Children. Recipes for Hot Dishes at School. Equipment
and Supplies for School Lunch, also a circular letter. A l l communications
have been acknowledged.
Reports have been received from about forty branches. Papers on subjects
relating to the home, demonstrations and courses in dressmaking, m i l l i n ery
and basketry have been given. One excellent paper on Homemaking,
given by Mrs. Clubine of Wembley, was forwarded to me. The Hot Lunch
at School was reported from a few branches only. The variety of subjects
discussed by the different branches has been wonderful. They show a great
deal of resourcefulness, study and preparation on the part of those responsible
and reveal a spirit of willingness and helpfulness among the members.
Many branches have not been heard from. I believe a carefully outlined
blank form of report, printed and sent out to Conveners, to be filled in and
