 Mrs. Harry C. Hine, chairman of the child welfare committee, report ed a slight decrease in attendance at the four we'll baby conferences during the past month as compared with March last year.
 The plans of the committee to hold a maternity institute here in May and 10 for the Visiting Nurse association staff are we'll under way. Miss Anita Jones, assistant director | of the Maternity Center institute of | New York, will give the lectures and demonstrations. Invitations have been extended to public health nurses in adjoining towns, to Gradu- ate private duty nurses and to the senior student nurses of the New Britain hospital. A puzzling prob lem for the committee is the ques- tion where to hold the institute. The logical place for all such meetings is the association headquarters OH Center street, it is believed. but it is too small to accommodate more than 22 persons.
