We • are anxious that it should be a national - movement, and so arranged as to pref vent overlapping. Being more or leas 1 closely in touch with thp Society for the - Protection of Women and Children, the , W.C.T.JJ., and the Women's Teachers' f Association, we feel confident that such 5 a motion would • have 'tho suppoi t of ' these bodies, although the urgency of ■ the matter haß prevented our consulting J them. We are, yours sincerely, Phoebe • Myers, Kate M. Evans, A. E. Dowdes- • well." The reply states that a recomj mendation will be placed before the • board for its favourabl consideration vt 5 its meeting to be held on 20bh August.

A fui- , ther recommendation will be made that ' an intimation be sent to the other HosV pital and Charitable Aid Boards ithroughr out the Dominion that they should col operate with organisations similar ito j those represented by the writers. i ' j The following are the result® of the x St. John Ambulance Association's examinations held in Wellington in June f and July of women students entered sirtce the 15th May, .1914 :— Misses 0.
