Mr. Blake Cara said that the summons was taken out on the in- formation of Mr. J. M. Crowther, the Vienr's warden. The inel dent was the culmination of a series of incidents and the result of threats contained in letters written to the Vicur, the Rev, A. Wellesley Orr."

Lewis, he continued, was the only son of a man who had a dis- tinguished military career; his grandfather was a distinguished surgeon in the Indian Army, and Lewis, who was educated at a public school, was brought up to follow that profession,

Miss Dawson, who moved the firat resolution supporting the. League of Nations and urging that an "international spirit may permeate the work of the schools," declared that the League, apparent as were its weaknesses, was the only tool yet fashioned to avert an- other conflict which might sweep away civilisation, A child should therefore learn in its school life what were the aims of the League.

The Vicar, continued Mr. Carn, ignored the interruption, but Lewis was evidently determined to see the matter through, and In order to quieten matters the Vicar gave out a hyma.

"Let, s have," she pleaded, "teaching of a wider significance in the schools.'

The resolution was carried un- almously.

The Voting Age. "

Miss Pearson, of Tottenham, moved a resolution of congratuln- tion to the Prime Minister on his public pronouncement in favour of equal franchise. She suggested that Mr. Baldwin had courageously favoured this course in opposition to many women in his party, and she warned her listeners that if the concession was to be, secured, the continue until Д fight must measure was actually on the Statute Book.

"Addressing the congregation generally, Lewis called out in a loud voice: Widows and orphans do not be misled by Mr. Orr, The rest af his declaration was drowned by the music, and he was eventually persuaded to leave."

Mr. J. M. Crowther, the Vicar's werden, gave evidence supporting Mr. Car's statement, and said that next day he received a letter from Lewis, in which he stated: face.

Mias F. K. Jones, of Oldham, warmly swelled the approbation offered to some members of the Government, but then Miss Britton, "on behalf of all the women under thirty in Walthamstow," hurried to the platform with a determined

The issue is merely a question of whether he has the right to lock anybody in his study when they have previously, as in my Jown case, offered to settle the difference in the back garden,"

The Rev. Arthur Wellesley Orr, the Viear, giving evidence, said that he could not hear what Lewis was declaiming. As far he could gather, he gave out a counter-text.

The Mayor--What was your text? It was: "Inasmuch ns ye have done it unto one of the least of these My brethren, ye have done it unto Me."

Mr. Orr produced a bundle of letters which he said he had re- ceived, and read from one: "Re- St. Paul's Church Magazine, De- sember. 26, 1926,-(mentioning a name), I consider this is undue familiarity and a breach of our agreement, which was that, If you left certain parties alone, I left you alone.

In spite of her fime rebellious- ness the resolution was approved, Married Teachers.

Mrs Stubbins, of Oldham, led the protest against the dismissal of women teachers who get married, maintaining they, should not be re moved from the work for which they had been trained from girl- hood, unless they proved inefficient.

Mrs. Key regarded this demand as the crux of the feminist position -"if you
