Superintendent of Schools W. B. Woodbury.
gave brief talk on "Child Welfare" taking
up the subject under three heads-physical,
mental and moral. On the first he told of par
ticular cases of poverty where the pupils were
handicapped by actual want and suggested
that the Woman's Club act IN conjunction with
the proposed associated charities in relieving
such need. Secondly, he asked those present
to assist by using their influence to keep the
children at home nights and to retire early,
and to have pride in keeping up their stud
les. Thirdly, he suggested instruction to the

gestion, which was very favorably received.
