Women
Good Work Done by Europeans
AS an example of the good work be ing done, in an unostentatious way, by sections of the Europeans to help the Fijian community in Fiji, it is noted that no less than 200 Fijian women as sembled in Suva early in October to at tend the 14th annual conference of the Fijian Women’s Guild.
The object of this organisation is to instruct the women in the care of their young infants, and in the conduct of their homes, so as to meet the new con ditions of European civilisation. The women are intelligent and adaptable, and much good has been achieved, es pecially in the direction of reducing in fant mortality.
The conference extended over several days, under the leadership of Mrs. O. C.
K. Corrie, and the various addresses were followed with close attention.
Rev. H. J. E. Short, of the L.M.S. mis sion at Hula, left Port Moresby by the “Tasman” on October 27 to attend the International Missionary Conference at Madras. Mrs. Short, who was in Ade laide, will join her husband in Colombo; and. later, Mr. and Mrs. Short will go on to Europe. They will return to Papua at the end of next year, via America.
