Book excerpt: Excerpt from Proceedings of the Seventh California Conference of Charities Corrections: Held at Fresno, California, February 28 to March 3, 1915 In presenting these "Proceedings" to the public, it seems important to offer a few words of explanation. The California State Conference of Charities and Corrections, henceforth to be known as the California State Conference of Social Agencies, is an organization of the social workers of tie state. The bonds that hold us together are rather loosely knit; and we have no financial backing other than membership fees and occasional donations from cities which entertain us from time to time. As a result our meetings and other activities must be planned and carried out on a modest scale. In making the budget for the Fresno gathering it seemed unwise to employ stenographers to render a verbatim report of proceedings. Instead, the various persons who participated in the program were asked to provide a written copy of their address or remarks, as the ease might be. or else an abstract of the same. Unfortunately, the experiment did not prove an entire success, for several speakers failed to comply with this request. We regret particularly the lack of material pertaining to child welfare work, which was really one of the important features of the Fresno Conference. The chairmen of several of the round-tables sent in short resumes of the discussions, but most of them arc so very brief that it has not been deemed wise to include them in this publication. However, this deficiency is in a measure offset by the fact that the resolutions adopted and rejected by the Conference represent the outcome of all the discussions, and these arc printed in the pages that follow. The following note appeared on the programs distributed at Fresno: In all Round Tables, the discussion will bear on Causes, Methods of Care, Legislation and Prevention. Inasmuch as this Conference occurs during the Legislative recess and there is much pending legislation of great importance to social workers, it is requested that so far as possible the findings of the various sections of the Conference be presented to the Committee on Resolutions in the form of Approval. Amendment, or Rejection of Bills, now under consideration by the Legislature. Resolutions must be in writing. They may be read at any session of the Conference, but are not debatable until reported back by the Committee on Resolutions.
