ARE THEY MORE' LIKELY TO BE CRIMINALS?
The suggestion that boys taught by women teachers arc more likely to become young criminals than those taught by men is made by head- Miss Charlotte Cowdroy, mistress of Crouch End High School for girls, whose out- spokeness on education ters is well known.
This appears in a pamphlet writ- ten by Mis Cowdroy which has been sent to members of Parliament by the National Association of School- musters.
