ABSTRACT
In the afternoon came off my Conference on Co-operation in Emigration, 1 and most successful it was. I had first sent circulars to all the Societies concerned in the emigration of women asking if they would take part in such a conference. They all assented and sent representatives except the Church Army, who failed at the last moment. Then I sent out a set of questions which I wanted discussed, and discussed they were, and many valuable suggestions made, notably Mr. Elwell, 2 port chaplain at Liverpool, suggested that the big liners should carry matrons, as they do bands and barbers, and Mrs. William Ward, Norland Institute, 3 that we should try to interest girls at the Colleges etc. Altogether I was very much gratified and feel it was a useful discussion.
