the cause of the Doukhobors as the best
possible immigrants to Canada. She
described their manners and customs and
explained away many of the objections
existing against them.
The reports of the Immigration Com-
mittee, and the “Care of Women of
Feeble intellect" were also read and
adopted.
The report on “Pernicious Literature”
was presentel cy Miss Wilson. Post

“that each National Council should, lu
addition to the president and two
delegates, have the right to send s x
o‘her delegates, but without the power
of voting". It, the Canadian Council also
advocates that “all couveners of stanling
committees, duly appointed at the
quinquennial sessions ofthe International
Council. be members of the International
Executive, but without the power to
vote.
Regarding the resolution! “That a

its adoption spoke of the desire of the
Prime Minister, that attention be given to
art as an essential t Ieznent in our national
life, and in this he thought the Council of
Women could give valuable assistance.
Her able paper was followed by one on
“Home Arts and Handicraft" by Miss
Phillips.
Resolutions were adopted favoring the
establishment of vacation school and play
grounds, and asking school boards to per-
mit the use of school grounds for recrea-
tion under proper supervision during the
summer months. -
Excellent papers, provoking much dis-
cussion, were read on “Simpler Methods
of Giving;” “Travelling Libraries;” “Jail
Reform;” “Girls’ Clubs,”etc.; "Agriculture
for Women;” “Domestic Science;”
“Womeu’s Institutes,” where papers are
read and discussed concerning wonieul
work on the farm, etc., etc.
This only gives an idea of the nal ure of
the work done by the National Council,
for space will not admit of the doings of
the three long daily sessions for a week
which the delegates attended faithfully
and with pleasure and pront. There were
receptions, drives and lunches inter-
spersed. But the conferences together on
their common work, needs, aims and in-
terests have been inspiring and far-
reachiug and a lasting impression of the
week`s work made upon all who had the
pleasure of attending the meetings.

MT. ALLISON UNIVERSITY.
Sacxvrnns, N. B., May 30.-The board
of regents of Mt. Allison finished their
deliberations this afternoon. It was de-
decided to establish on a permanent basis
the chair of New Testament Greek and
Church History, and Rev. Dr. Paisley
was appointed to the professorshlp. In
regard toLieut-Governor McClelan’s olferl
of five thousand dollars towards thai
establishment of a. manual training school;
conditional on a like contribution from
other sources, the board gratefully accept-
ed the offer and took steps towards secur-
ing the remaining flve thousand dollars.
Rev. Dr. _Rrecken’s retirement from the
University stall' was announced. He
finds himself compelled by ill-health to
give up this work and will be
greatly missed in the school and
community. It is found the accommoda-
tion of the Ladies’ College has been strain-
ed to the utmost by the attendance of the
last few years, and the board has consider-
ed the question of building; a large wing,
which would eventually form part- of a
complete stone building. But in view of
the extentsive building operations of
the past few years it was dually decided
not to undertake a further large enter.
prise this year, and temporary arrange-
ments will be made to overcome the pre-
sent difiiculties.
