Cut away selvage on the side that laps over right to left. Ravel out lengthwise threads for about

NURSERY TEACHERS

Work will begin early in 1951 un the Margaret McMillan Training College at Bradford in the English county of Yorkshire which when completed

will provide training for nursery. infant teachers, with a residential accommodation for 150 students. Margaret McMillan, after whom the College is named, was one of England's great social workers. She was born in New York in 1860 but came to Bri- tain at an early age and was associated with

Labour the Movement in Bradford. She was elected to the local school board. It was largely through her efforts that in 1099 the first recorded medical inspection of schoolchlidren took place.

She went to London with her sister, Rachael, at the begin- ning of this century.and founded a children's clinic at Bow in the East End of London. Some years later the sisters went to Dept- ford in the county of Kent and
