Of Topeka, Kan, who was elected, presi-
dent this year. The purpose of the or
ganizat ton is to elevate the office and to
give greater efficiency to the service rem
dered by these officials and to insure mu-
tual encouragement and benefit. 1t wishes
to emphasize the need of women Of char
acter, influence and with the best back
Ing for such positions, women who are
able to command the respect Of the city
officials with whom they work and the
respect and confidence Of their charges.
It was brought out clearly that not even
superior character is sufficient qualif-
cation for the position, that both broad
intelligence and sympathy are needed to
accomplish the reformatory work ex-
pected Of the police matrons.
The first practical step decided upon
by the matrons for the improvement Of
conditions with which they deal, was to
set on foot a movement to secure by legis-
lation police matrons in all towns of over
10, 900 Inhabitants, as the city matrons
find that the disreputable women are re-
cruited extensively from the smaller
towns, where proper protection Of way
ward girls would have deferred many
from a life Of shame. While the police
matrons' association will take the inI-
tiative in this, it expects to work with
and thru the enlightened and philanthro-
pic. people of the country and especially
the women's clubs. The value of the full
est cooperation Of all of the forces for.
good Tin a community is understood by
the police matrons, who depend upon the
public. sentiment of the community for
proper support In their efforts.
But three Of the naatrons present live
in the stations, but 1t was agreed that it
is better that they should do so, in order
that they may have complete control over
their charges.
(. Homes for fallen women in every state
were cordially Endorsed. 1t is probable
that the next place Of meeting will be
Chicago, altho the matter was left unset
tied.
Among the speakers at the convention
was Mrs. Schaeffer and she was listened
to with attention worthy of her expert
ence in an important position and of her
satisfactory record under many Difficult
ties. She spoke chiefly upon the needs
of homeless girls and Of cooperation be-
tween the matrons and churches and
charitably inclined persons to find suitable
homes for these girls.
