As chairman of the committee, therefore, I desire to announce through the columns of The Survey that it is the desire of Mr. Tucker and myself, in which I am sure the members of the committee concur, that all interested members of the National Conference of Charities and Correction will have ample opportunity to express their views in reference to matters with which the Committee on Organization is concerned. There will be a number of open meetings both before and after reaching Seattle at which all those interested in the conference will be welcome.
It is my desire that this committee shall truly represent the wishes of the conference with reference to all matters of organization. Inasmuch as the president is anxious that this committee shall have a tentative report ready soon after the conference opens in Seattle I wish to urge all readers of The Survey who are interested in the national conference to submit their suggestions as early as possible. We especially want your suggestions regarding the following:
1. Topics for discussion.
2. The names of the committees.
3. The membership of the committees, the committee chairmen and vice-chairmen.
The following dates have been set for open meeting: Friday, May 16; Tuesday, May 27; Friday, June 13.
These meetings will be held at 4 P. M., in Room 214, United Charities Building, 105 East 22nd Street, New York city. Kindly put the dates on your calendar. If you cannot come send your suggestions to the undersigned at the above address.
John A. Kingsbury.
[Chairman Committee on Organization, National Conference of Charities and Correction.]
New York City.
