THE MODERN GIRL.
HEADMISTRESSES' VIEWS.
"The present girl will make a better woman than her mother," was the opinion expressed to a reporter by several of the headmistresses of private school, wha were in conference at University College, London.
Mr. Ewart McClure, president of the Incorporated Association of Hoad- masters, had said he thought that the present, boy will make a better man than his father.
Miss E. E. Lawrence, headmistress of West Heath School, Richmond, Surrey, said: From marquisës” daughters down to the girls in the elementary schools girls are better in every way--physically, mentally, and morally. They are more courageous and they are going to be very good housewives. "I remember the time when girls were ashamed to take out their own babics and to do their own about the present girl. cooking. There is no such false pride
Miss Judson, of The Abbey School, Malvern Wells, acting chairman of the conference: The modern girl as a woman will have sound common sense and will bring up her children in a far better manner than her own mother did. She
will be a public-spirited woman, and we
look forward to the time when a great deal of our unpaid public work will be done by the wives of professional and business men, who are themselves too busy to devote much time to public affairs. Education is helping girls to control. their emotions and to act impartially,
Miss A Fleming, headmistress of Thoresby High School, Leods, stated at Leeds: The girl of to-day is more virile and better developed, both mentally and physically, than her mother.
Miss M. Bellman, headmistress of the Loods Girls' Modern School: Few mothers have bad the benefits enjoyed by their daughters. It is obvious, there- fore, that the girl is going to be better than her mother.
