FORTHCOMING
MEETINGS
AND
CONFERENCES
We
publish
below
a
formidable
list
of
meetings
and
week-end
schools
arranged
by
various
areas,
in
the
hope
that
Probation
Officers
will
bear
them
in
mind
when
planning
their
annual
holidays.
These
conferences
are
all
arranged
with
the
intention
of-
giving
Probation
Officers
an
opportunity
to
know
each
other
personally
and
enable
them
to
discuss
together
the
problems
which
have
confronted
them
and
the
solutions
they
have
found.
We
are
con-
ndent
they
will
continue
to
be
well
attended,
for
they
do
a
great
deal
toward
developing
the
corpor-
ate
feeling
among
Probation
Officers
which
is
very
desirable.
Officers
who
are
thinking
of
attending
one
of
these
conferences
should
get
in
touch
with
the
secretary
of
the
branch
concerned
as
soon
as
possible.

The
South-Western
Branch
is
holding
its
first
week-end
School
at
Exeter
in
July
and
the
date

been
chosen
to
enable

officers
to
combine
the
school
with
their
annual
holidays.
The
University
College
will
accommodate
50
men
and
50
women
but
it
is
hoped
that
the
leotures
will
be
attended
by
a
considerable
number
of
non-resi-
dential
members
who
are
members
of
neighbouring
Probation
Committees
or
Juvenile
Court
Panels.
An
attractive
programme
with
prominent
speakers
is
being
arranged
and
special
attention
will
be
given
to
excursions
enabling
visitors
to
see
the
beauties
of
the
surrounding
country.
To
visitors
possessing
motor
cars
the
school
offers
a
wonderful
opportunity
for
beginning
a
week
or
two
of
holiday
leave.
Good
accommoda-
tion
can
be
obtained
in
Devonshire
and
the
sur-
rounding
counties
at
economical
rates
and
assistance
in
arranging
extension
of the
visit
to
University
College
will
be
available
upon
request.
