Conferences for Social Work.

This article presents information on several conferences on social work in various states in the U.S., as of May 1, 1923. The Alabama Conference of Social Workers held its eighth annual meeting at Montgomery in March 18 to 20, 1923. the outstanding feature of the meeting was the spirit of friendly cooperation manifested on the part of all agencies and representatives engaged in the work, and a recognition of the importance of a united front in the task of improving conditions within the state. In recent years the State Conference of Social Work in Arkansas has been enfeebled in its effort, handicapped in its vision and not any too generously patronized. The Connecticut Conference of Social Work held its thirteenth annual session in New Haven in April 11 to 14, 1923. The purpose of the conference as defined in its constitution is "to promote a wider interest and develop sounder methods in charitable, reformatory and preventive work by giving opportunity for persons interested in such effort to compare methods and results."
