At the International Congress, held at Antwerp last September, the proceedings of which were reported in the last number of this Journal, it was resolved that the Congress of 1904 should be held in Edinburgh. A Scottish Committee was elected, and Sir John Sibbald is now arranging to convene a preliminary meeting. It is to be hoped that it will be fully attended by representatives of the various State-supported and charitable agencies for the relief of the poor, every variety of home help, and that measures will be adopted to secure the success of the Congress, which has aroused so great an interest and formulated such important propositions.
