Dear Editor,--Our Annual Conference is to be held from Tuesday, 15th May, until Friday, 18th May, and I am writing to appeal to your readers in London or the vicinity for offers of hospitality. In previous years, members whose enthusiasm has brought them from distant places have had the pleasure of their visit much enhanced by the kind ways in which they have been entertained in London. May I ask all who are willing to act as hostesses to communicate with me.
Yours faithfully,
Ella Howard Glover,
Secretary Conference Sub-Committee
Ettrick House, Steele's Road.

Dear Editor,--I have been lately reading Mrs. Earle's More Pot-pourri from a Surrey garden, and coming across this definition of the aims of the New Education, I thought it would interest some of your readers who may not have read the book to see what so thoughtful and cultivated a woman has to say on the subject. Mrs. Earle says:--"So far as I understand the New Education, it does not mean knowledge-teaching at all, but the fostering and developing the good qualities that are born in a child, and so keeping under the evil propensities which are equally born in it; in fact, to make grow and develop what is actually there in the best way you can; not to try to cram in, as into an empty sack, what you think ought to be there."
Faithfully yours,
H J. B.
