International Last year to mark the 65th Anniversary of the Women’s Institute, the Federated Women’s Institutes of Ontario started to raise $50,000 to provide an annual International Scholar- ship of $2,500. Because it offered a specra] opportunity, $1,000 of this was given to help Miss Pearl Isaacksz of Ceylon with a year's study at Macdonald Institute. After this deduc- tion the fund now stands at $21,500. It is quite possible that some Ontario home eco- nomics graduate may sometime be awarded this scholarship to work for better homeâ€" making in "developing" parts of the world as our own Jean Steckel of Waterloo County is doing now in Africa. Altogether, the Ontario Women's Institute scholarshipsâ€"district, county, provincial and internationalâ€"represent an investment of over $87,000. They also represent a steadily growing movement to help a girl toward an education that should mean the enriching of her whole life.
