PBH Hosts Meeting Of 22 Service Groups

Seventy-five representatives of volunteer service organizations from 22 colleges and univrsities in New England and the Middle Atlantic states are meeting at Phillips Brooks House this weekend to discuss possible service projects for a hypothetical model community.

One of the conference's primary sources, according to Mary B. Taylor '62, president of PBH, is to find problems that are not already being handled by local groups, and are within the scope of college social workers.

PBH and the United Community Service of Boston drew up plans for the model community from the answers to questionnaires distributed last month to local service organizations.

In the conference, small discussion groups meet with representatives from community welfare committees. Typical projects under consideration include work with underprivileged children or inmates of mental hospitals.
