AFTER a week Of what might

the various discussions which
have featured the conferences of
the women's auxiliary of the Fan
American Scientific Congress at
d. Continental Memorial Hall, have be-
gun to center on target.
The general idea of union. whica
cropped up at the first session, mas
crystallized into two main propo'i-
tions, the bringing OF the women or
the Western Hemisphere together
into a democratic, practical working
organization and the launching, at
the earliest practical moment, or
campaign to reach the youth OF all
the Americas through the school-
room.

In other words, among the peoples
of the Americas, the national ldeal
