VICTORIA LEAGUE

xV number of matters of general interest were brought forward at tho recent conference of t^lie Victoria League, which was held at Wanganui. Olio very useful suggestion was that the league should assist in helping to study the history of Now Zealand and in proserving historical documents, ete. It was suggested that each member might make a study of the history of her own town or district/ It was also urged that the league affiliate with Early

Settlers' Associations, with a view of | assisting in the work done. i New branches of the league are to i to formed in Napier, Nelson, and In- ■ vercargill, and effortg will shortlv be made in that direction. Wellington recommended that as a narty of British schoolgirls ia likely to be sent for a tour on the same lines as '■ that of tho school boys, tho Victoria League in New Zealand should under- , take to arrange hospitality for them, j and after some discussion this was ac- ' cepted. It was also decided that the presi- '■ dents of the various centres be a special to arrange details '• of the tour, which will take place about ■ the end of 1930, and that the confer- : cuco secretary inform the Home League : of the decision of the conference. It was mentioned that when some ; people were leaving for England and ; joined the league, they seemed to expect great things in tho way of aristo- , cratic entertainment, tickets, etc., and if these did not eventuate were ainsatis- : lied. It was stated that, while the : Home League was most hospitable, and ', that a great deal was done for visitors, there was no guarantee in the' matter. Mrs. Burgess said that there! was an unwritten law in New Plymouth j that no ono could obtain a letter of • introduction to the Home people unless t they had belonged to the league for a i year. _ j A resolution was passed in support I of British films, aud a number of Em-: pire matters, were discussed.
