WOMEN EXPERTS

Two phases of mental welfare, viewed in its specific present day aspect, were on the programme; (1) Needs of mental welfare in Shanghal and (2) A programme of mental welfare. They were dealt with at. Ave separate sessions, in which 14 speakers participated. The sessions lasted throughout the day and ended with a general meeting and passing of resolutions on the subject discussed.
