 

young women were becoming secretaries and nurses. (See
Appendix 4 for the list of nurses from these communities.)
Although Ada did not think these women were influenc—
ed by the popular suffragette movement, the war had open-
ed up more opportunities for women in non—domestic
work, and in 1917 the Canadian government granted
women related to the men in the armed services the right
to vote for the first time.36

At this time only a small minority of students in these
five communities went beyond the tenth grade. This is not
surprising since the majority of young people were expected
to find careers in domestic and farm—related work.

Moreover education in P.E.I. was expected to prepare them
in practical ways for such work. Parents and those concern-
ed about developing the agricultural industry complained
that too much attention was given in schools to the
academic subjects.37 So the practical side of education also
received attention in these communities as is evident from
the following school fair report.

Although it was livestock that received priority attention
at this particular fair in 1917, it would be the white potato,
listed as the third variety of potatoes exhibited at the fair,
which would make Kinkora and area famous in the follow-

ing decade.
