NATIONAL MOTHERS CONGRESS.

Parent Teacher Associations has received
invitations from California, Oregon ana
Washington to hold the annual conven'
tion in those States. Michigan most ur-
gently requested that Child Welfare con

of the Congress in that State. The same
demand has come from Minnesota, North
and South Dakota and Montana.

to hold a series of Child Welfare confer
ences en- route to San Francisco, to have
a personally conducted tour, with stops at
Chicago. st. Paul, Bismarck Helena, Sc
attic, Portland and San Francisco. Inc
annual convention for the business OF the
Congress will be held at Portland, Oregon.

sage of the Congress into States eager ana
anxious to become active participants IN
the Child Welfare work conducted by
| the Congress.

usual opportunity to see the different
towns, and meet many new TRENDS
