days attending the conference on consumption, Miss Hudson, the senior Woman
Inspector, represented Edmonton. Judging from her able report which appears
in the minutes of the Council of the gth September, she spent a very useful and
instructive time there, and obtained a useful addition to her knowledge of this
class of work.
