A UNIVERSITY STANDARD IN HOME SCIENCE.

[To TRH EDITOR OF THE " STIICTATOR.”]

Srn,—The hospitality of your columns has been so kindly extended to support the movement for providing University education in home science that we are venturing once more to trespass on your kindness. We should be glad to call the attention of your readers to a meeting on June 8th in con- nexion with the movement. As they are probably aware, an interesting series of Conferences on various branches of women's work is to be held in the Congress Hall at the Japan-British Exhibition during two weeks in June and July. The afternoon of June 8th will be devoted to the discussion of. a University standard in home science. Lady Frederick Cavendish has promised to take the chair, and the • urgent need for a more systematic training in the scientific manage- 'inent of a household will be pointed out by the following well-known ladies : Mrs. St. Loe Strachey, the Duchess of Hamilton, Miss Oakeley, M.A., Miss Faithfull, MA., and Miss Alice Ravenhill. The Conference will be held from three to five, and admission to the Japan-British Exhibition will admit to the Congress Hall.—We are, Sir, &a., 'vverington House, Newbury. THEREBA RiieKBR. ALICE S. PARKIN.
