Nebraska at the
Pan American
Conference
By ANNIS C. SORENSON.
A Nebraska woman. Miss Grace
Abbott, formerly of Grand Island,
presided at the opening meeting of
the I'an-American conference in
Baltimore. Thursday, April 20.
Miss Abbott is chief of the chil
dren's burean of the United States
Bureau of Labor, and the morning
session of the conference was de
voted to the subject of international
and Tan-American work for child
welfare. '
The League of Women Voters of
Nebraska is well represented at the
conference, which will he followed
by the annual convention of the
League of Women Voters. All the
delegates from Nebraska had not
yet arrived, but on the opening day
"-iliere-appeared at the registration
desk Mrs. Charles Dietrich of Hast
ings, who is one of the seven region
al -directors; Mrs. C. G. Ryan of
Grand Island, who is state director;
Mrs. Edgar Scott of Omaha, who is
the alternate for Mrs. Draper Smith;
Mrs. Frank Babcock of Hastings,
and from- Lincoln, Mrs. W. E. Bark
ley, Mrs. Rachel Cams, Mrs. John
Baird and Mrs. C. A. Sorensen.
One of the outstanding features
of the conference was the exquisite
English of most of the South Amer
. ican delegates. If Nebraska sends
delegates to the coming Pan
American conference, which meets
in Brazil late next summer, will she
reciprocate in speaking the language
of that country?
