When the Countess Of Aberdeen accompanied
her husband, Lord Aberdeen, Governor Gen
eral of Canada to the Capital of the Dominion,
she brought with her the plans and methods
so favorably tested in establishing industrial
work in Ireland, and practically set forth at
the Worlds Fair, and with it the great prestige
attained in the opinion of all practical edu-
Gators and philanthropists.
She began the institution of Local Councils
of Women, beginning with Ottswa, Montreal,
Toronto. Hamilton and other important points,
and in the exercise OF her commendable zeal
has extended them from Nova Scotia on the
east to Victoria and Van Couvers Island on the
west.
These Local Councils have been gathered TO-
gether in 3 National Council. of which the
Countess of Aberdeen is President, and to all
have been committed great ideas to discuss and
plans TO carry out.
Among these are the establishment OF kinder
gartens aud manual training schools, better
laws for the protection Of women and children,
including woman inspectors for factories, and
police matrons, and the inculcation of domestic
arts and ethical culture.

National Council reports of the most cncourag-
ing character were heard from the local Coun-
ellis. and the good results already assured are
the augury Of great things to come. Through

school reform.
