HEAD OF MIXED SCHOOL
WOMAN'S APPOINTMENT MANY OBJECTIONS RAISED A controversy is raging in England at present over tho appointment of a woman as head of a mixed school in Hackney. The London Schoolmasters' Association objected to the appointment of Miss Spender, M.8.E., as head of the school and actually ordered a plebiscite. Ratepayers were asked to say whether they preferred a man as head of the school or a woman with tho result that 2957 voted for a man and 198 for a woman. The Education Committee responsible for tho appointment, however, heroically refused to bo moved by the objections or the result of the plebiscite and Miss Spender will take over charge of the school after Christmas.
