The committee of the Wellington branch of tho Women Teachers' Association entertained the members at tho Pioneer Club last evening. There was a good gathering. and a very enjoyablo timo was spent. Miss Bird played a piano solo, Miss 'l'rask recited, and Miss Martin sang several songs. -Miss Lea and Miss King, who were the delegates to the annual conference of women teachers in January, gave most interesting reminiscenccs, both touching upon the annual remit from the Wellington branch protesting against segregation of the sexes in junior classes and differentiation in tho teaching of boys and girls, in their earlier years. Miss Coad briefly and forcibly outlined the ideals for which tho association was striving, and tlio necessity for co-operation. Sho pointed out that unless they had loyal backing from tho branches, and unless women tcachers made their branches numerically strong, and also strove l'or right principles, the women who are on the executive might as well not bo there. Sho hoped that they would b'o able to havo gatherings frequently, and sho was making arrangements for a good lecture. Sho asked thorn to support the Women's National Council in its endeavour to socuro women' representatives on public councils, and boards, because they believed that only by having tho best women obtainable as well as men on theso bodies could they obtain the best results. She stressed the fact that Parliaments and all elected bodies reflected the people, and that therefore voluntary organisation showed more initiative. If tho peoplo were careless, and indifferent tliey could not wonder if reforms wore slow to come. A very pleasant and instructive evening was brought to a close j,j- the singing of tho National Anthem.
