The hostel secretary reported that 43 women and girls had been in residence during the month. Fewer holiday makers were coming during the winter, but despite this fact, the hostel was continuing to pay its way. a The home nursing classes under Miss Gee continued to be well attended. These lectures, which were demonstrated, were followed with the keenest interest and enthusiasm. An opportunity is given to girls to bring written quetions next Tuesday. The board expressed the hope that the Tuesday evening gathering should continue throughout the winter. A letter was read from the national office (Sydney) asking that a report and balance sheet be forwarded through the N.Z. National Field Office at an early date. The local association was also asked to send a delegate to the convention to be held at Melbourne in October. It was decided to ask Miss Birch, N.Z. National Field Secretary, to act as the representative.
