 IN THIS CITY.

To be Held Here From May 24 to May 30
 A Big and Very Successful Meeting Indi-
 cated-Synopsis of the General Program
 for the Convention.
 The twenty-second national confer ence of charities and correction will be held in New Haven May "A to May 30 1895. All indications point to a large attendance and a successful meeting The president of the conference, MT Robert Treat Paine, of Boston, and the local committee, under the chairman ship of Judge Francis Wayland, are ex- l erting themselves to the utmost to se- cure this result. The enrolment of members thus far is at least double l that of any preceding conference at so early a date.
 | THE PLACE.
 The selection of the place of meeting 1 is peculiarly fortunate, New Haven is not only a seat of learning and philan- | thropy, but is conveniently accessible l to a large proportion of those who are interested in charities and correction. It is, moreover, a delightful place to visit in the month of May, and it's citi- zens are prepared to greet the confer ence with a cordial welcome.
 THE PROGRAM.
 The general program, of which a sy- nopsis is given farther on, is most at tractive. The questions to be dis cussed are of immediate practical inter- est and have never excited as much public attention as now They are to be discussed by men and women of na- tional reputation, every one of whom is recognized as an authority upon his theme The morning and evening ses- sions will be devoted to the general program, while the afternoons will be devoted to section work.
 THE SECTIONS.
 In the sections meetings those who are interested in the detailed study of special subjects will have abundant op- portunity therefor
 The charity organization section, un- der the chairmanship of MT Jeffrey R. Bracket, of Baltimore, will doubtless be more fully attended than ever be- fore. It is expected that every leading charity organization society in the Uni ted States will be represented, and the numerous societies of New England, New York and Pennsylvania will each probably have several representatives. It may be necessary to organize sub- sections of charity organization secre- taries and friendly visitors. Ample &C., commodations will be provided for the meetings of this section and the chari- ty organization people will have their headquarters at the ---------------- House.
 The child-saving section will bs un- der the chalrmanship of Mir. Charles w Birtwell, of Baltimore, with an etfi cient committee. This section always excites great interest. A special fea- ture this year will be the discussion of trade schools. The juvenile reformatories section, 1 Superintendent F. H. Nibecker, of Glenn's Mills, Pa. chairman. has grown in interest and efficiency from | sions have been of great practical | value.
 Training schools for nurses will be | under the chairmanship of Miss Anna c. Maxwell, of New York.
