-2.-- back as editor of Hone and Country. She continued with this inportant work for many years, and our manbers are justly proud of our finelnagazine and of the valuable contriubution which Miss Chapman has made to the Ontario Wonen's Institute. The fall of 1992 issue of the Hone & Country was the first issue published by the FWIO, independently of the Ontario Ministry of AgricultUre and Food. The editor is Janine Roelens-Grant. Person 8: Lady Tweedsmuir was the wife of a Governor--General of Canada. She was extrenely interested in the work of theIMonen's Institute and had been president of a branch in England and also a County president. While in Canada, she attended Branch meetings and conventions and frequently gave talks to the menbers. She accepted the office of Honourary President of F.W.I.O. and was later made an Honourary Life Manber. Speaking at the biennial meeting of the Federated Women's Institutes of Canada in Toronto in 1937, she said, "The Women's Institutes are not relief or welfare agencies and should not be used by every institution that wants money. Keep your money for your own work, let it cone first." She also said that Wonen's Institute menbers have a part to play in pronoting peace. She suggested that the Branches conpile Connunity Histories. Later, at the request of the Provincial Board, she suggested that they be called Tweedsnuir Histories, and she wrote the Foreword for the books. Person 9: Adelaide Hunter was the youngest of thirteen children. She was born at the farm hone, two and a half miles west of the village of St. George in Brant County.' Her brothers attended university, but all the fennel education she received was at the Gennan's public school in the Blue Lake and Auburn Connunity. In 1881 shelnarried Hamilton businessnan, John Hoodless. They had four children. Due to the loss of a child at the age of eighteen months and because his death was attributed to the lack of proper knowledge in infant feeding, she desired to bring education in honenaking to the girls and wonen of our country. In 1897 Adelaide was invited to speak at the annual meeting of the Experimental Union of the Farmers' Institute. Mr. Erland Lee of Stoney Creek was particularly inpressed with her message and invited her to speak at the Fanners' Institute meeting at Stoney Creek. The wonen of the connunity were invited as guests to this meeting. At this meeting, she suggested that the wonen have an organization of their own to study honanaking in the same way that their husbands studied Farming. A meeting was arranged for the following Friday evening when 101 wonen and one nan, Mr. Lee, attended. He was chainnan. There on February 19, 1897, in Squire's Hall, the first Wonen's Institute was organized, and so an organization for rural women was born, a new idea. In 1899 she suggested that the Women's Institute ask the Governnent to provide for the scientific education of women by establishing a vmnen's deparunent at the O.A.C., Guelph. Adelaide worked toward this and planned to move her College of Donestic Science and Art to Guelph from Hamilton and make it the nucleus of the new school. She interested Dr. Mills, the President of O.A.C. in the project. She conferred with the Departnents of Agriculture and Education and was assured that funds tonnaintain the school would be provided if a building could be made available. She then approached Sir Willlian Macdonald, the Tobacco King of Montreal with an appeal for funds for a building. The result was a contribution of $200,000 to build Macdonald Institute at Guelph. A few years later, sir Willian also endowed a Hone Econonics School at Macdonald College, Quebec. Adelaide Hoodless was a wonan of vision with courage and ability to work and fight for a broader education for wonen. She was a leader and an educationalist. She was a pioneer in adult education. Through the Wonen's Institute, wonen were given an opportunity to share their knowledge and their thinking and when they needed more infonnation they asked the governnent for help from trained personnel. Frcnithis request the Hone Econonics Branch in theIDntario Deparbnent of Agriculture and Food was developed. Later the 4rH Homenaking Clubs were formed for girls. Mrs. Hoodless died on the platform while speaking at a meeting in February 1910. She was appealing for a school of Household Science at university level. In 1959 the Federated
