Mrs. John D. Harbron will rep resent the University Women’s Club of Etobicoke at a seminar entitled “The Learning Process,” which is being held by the Uni versity of Waterloo’s department of extension on September 2, 5 and 4. The lecturers will discuss the continuing education of wom en from the viewpoints of the business and academic worlds. The local club had its interest in this stimulated by a thought provoking talk from one of its members, Mrs. Ethel McLellan, in the spring. Mrs. McLellan is di rector of the Ontario Department of Labor's women’s bureau and the training of women to re-enter the labor force is a professional concern of hers. She suggested university wom en's clubs might serve their com munities by promooting more adult education classes and drawing teaching staff from their own membership. Since then the local club has undertaken some research into this field. Mrs. Harbron has a particular interest, being acquainted with various women who have made the transition from homemakers to career women successfully. One teacher, at an age when many would look forward to re tirement, started work at a school on an Indian reservation and has since moved on to be come the woman who pilots a group of young Indian adults through grades 7, 8 and 9 and in an eight-month period each year. “This is a really challenging career that gives this teacher her vitality and enthusiasm,” said Mrs. Harbron. And there seems to be a grow ing feeling that even part-time work can provide a much needed lift for women who find their family responsibilities taking less and less of their time.
