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.
