DR.. G.. Stanley Hail, president Of

dent of the Child Conference, approves
this sort of conservation of organized
energy. There is "a crying need to
correlate" the societies of the country,

coordination. Some committee of a
general scope which would not be local
or connected with any one institution
and which could also comprise and
make contact with and have every
one of the child welfare societies rep
resented on it--that is the thing that
we chiefly desire"
To get at it's work the Child Confer
ence has established national organ
ization, which will meet in Worcester,
Mass. June % to July 2. inclusive. 1t
is planned to have local conferences In
various centers throughout the United
States which will attend to unifying
local organizations and interests for
local purposes. A start has already
