PAN-PACIFIC WOMEN'S CONFERENCE

Mrs T. E. Taylor, New Zealand chairwoman of the Pan-Pacific Women s Association, has received word by the last Pacific mail that preparations lor the next women's conference are well forward. . Dr. Georgina Sweet's visit to Honolulu on her return from the I.P.R. conference at Banff, Alberta, has very much facilitated the preparations. International chairmen and project directors have been definitely appointed for all round table studies and conference sections, and the programme has been shortened and finaiiS The date of the conference has been fixed for August 6 or 8 to August 22, 1934, and it will be held again in the Punahou School, Honolulu. Arrangements have been made to accommodate the delegates at the Pleasanton Hotel, a very charming place close to the conference buildings. This will be at a most reasonable tariff. ~ , Preparation work for the conference has been going forward in New Zealand for more than two years. Much valuable research has been done, and reports sent forward on home economics, public health, family health, adult and parent education, industry (including women and unemployment, standards of employment for women, and industrial hygiene), social questions, Labour legislation in New Zealand, country women in New Zealand, women in government, and international relations in the Pacific. It is hoped to have the names of qualified and suitable delegates, from New Zealand listed before the annual meeting of the New Zealand committee in March, 1934.
