T W E N T Y - F I R S T PROVINCIAL CONVENTION 71
OUTLINE FOR STANDING COMMITTEE OF CHILD WELFARE
AND PUBLIC HEALTH, 1939- 1941
Anything that will add to the health and happiness of children is worth
while in your community endeavours. " To preserve health is a moral and
religious duty, for health is the basis of all social virtues. We can no longer
be useful when not well."— Johnson.
1. Have a definite programme for Child Welfare and Public Health—
start it at the beginning of the year and continue through the next two years.
2. Have one meeting a year to study health subjects. Sir P. Sidney
says, " The ingredients of health and long life are, great temperance, open
air, easy labour and little care."
3. Encourage the school children in your district to join the Junior
Red Cross and to live by the rules.
4. Continue to advocate inoculation and vaccination against all communicable
diseases.
The record of this branch of Institute work has been very fine in the
past, let us make it even better in the future. Please send in your reports,
so that I may pass good ideas around.
Do not hesitate to write to me at any time.
Yours cordially,
( Mrs. T.) M A R G A R E T F . McGARRY,
P. O. Box 190,
Drumheller, Alberta.
OUTLINE FOR STANDING COMMITTEE ON EDUCATION AND
BETTER SCHOOLS, 1939- 1941
Although it is not the purpose of this Committee to decide what shall be
the activity of the Branches, or what subjects shall be studied or programmes
undertaken, yet it does offer suggestions in all these lines with the idea of
being helpful. At the end of the term, your Committee would like to know
what suggestions were followed and which were the most successful of them.
New ideas will always be welcome.
Practical Work— Take an active interest in your school. Is milk supplied
for undernourished children? Do the children have a hot lunch at noon?
Are the sanitary conditions satisfactory? Co- operate with your school board
as tactfully as possible.
Make your teacher welcome in your community; be her friend. Help
her by training your own children in manners, morals and all the cardinal
virtues including cleanliness, honesty, obedience and withal, good humour.
Help provide extras for your school, beyond what the school board may
feel able to buy out of Public Funds, such as good magazines, special books
and prizes for classes, designated by you.
