T W E N T Y - F I R S T PROVINCIAL CONVENTION 67
REPORT OF A. W. I. LOAN COLLECTION
During the years 1929 to 1933, it came to the notice of your custodian
of this service that there was a need for material especially prepared for
Institute work as well as that of a more general nature, available to W. I.
members who either did not have time to prepare papers or needed reference
other than that procurable from the University Extension Service.
In my travels about the Province as your Provincial President, I was
able to pick up an excellent paper now and then, and when an Institute
asked for assistance, I was able to loan it to them. This custom increased
until in 1932, with the consent of the Council, a regular service was estab-ished.
Now the collection contains 492 papers and pamphlets and during
the time since our last Provincial Convention, 300 have gone out to 158 W. I.
women.
This service is as much yours as mine and if a good papfcr comes to
the collection the credit is as much yours as mine. Just in the same way, if
a poor one appears the fault is as much yours as mine.
I no longer travel about the Province, so no longer have the opportunity
of hearing papers and addresses. If you hear them it is your privilege to
procure them for the Loan Collleetion. Sincere thanks go to Mrs. Brebner,
Mrs. Lynch- Staunton, Mrs. Rogers and Mrs. Morton as well as a number
of other Institute members for their contributions. I take this means of
appealing to all members for good papers for as I have said many times before,
the Loan Collection is yours, to make or break. We should aim to
steadily raise the standard of papers.
We ask that five cents accompany your request for each paper. This
goes back into the purchase of stamps, as we try to make the service self-supporting
although this objective has not as yet been attained. Special
envelopes are purchased and if you keep it papers may be returned in it
and thus avoid crumpling and creasing. Special paper is also used for papers
needing copying.
A few Institutes still look upon this as a free service but these, we are
happy to say, are growing fewer each year. We also ask that papers be
returned promptly and not be pigeon- holed until house- cleaning time.
Respectfully submitted,
A D E L A I D E MONTGOMERY.
