WOMEN AND "MATHS"
Mr. H. L. Eason, principal of London University, speaking at the commemoration day and prize-giving at Queenswood School, Hatfield, Herts, recently, said to the girls: "Most of the women of my acquaintance still count their bridge scores on their fingers. I sympathise with those girls who cannot get on with 'maths.' At the same time I have a feeling that there must be something wrong with the teaching. "I have one great reform which I should make in every school if. I were an autocrat. I should make the pupils of every form write every term a report to their headmaster or headmistress on their teaching." Lord Stamp, chairman of the board of governors, unveiled a thanksgiving window in the chapel. The window commemorates the completion of the rebuilding of the original wing of the | school which was burned in 1935.
