For the first time in the history of the congress a woman was invited to address a meeting of men only, Miss Maude ltowdcn ! having that honour paid to her. Other i speakers at tlio congress were Mrs. Summer, wife of .the late . Bishop. of ; Guildford, who dealt with the divine institution of the home; Mrs. Luke Paget, ■ wifo of the. Bishop of Stcpiwy, who read a paper on "Ideals of Women' ; Miss L, K. M. Sorcsby, headmistress oi Manor House School, North London; | Miss Ruth Bowse, secretary of the Students' Christian Federation; Miss Helen Strtilt, Mrs. Arthur Philp, arid Miss Constance Smith, as well as Miss Livingstone, Mrs. Creighton, and Miss Talbot, whoso names at least arc familiar to many Australian women. The papers and speeches aro reported at some length in most of tho London papers, and are well worth reading by tiiose who are interested ir. women's work in education and morals.
