GIRLS OF TO-DAY
HEADMISTRESS’ OPINIONS. By Telegraph—Press Assn.—Copyright. Received Jan. 2, 5.5 p.m. Loudon, Jan. 1. “I think you will find girls to-day invariably skip the books which were the favourites of their grandmothers; either they must have the most modern books or genuine antiques,” said Miss Faithfull, principal of the Ladies’ College, Cheltenham, at the headmistresses’ conference.
She added: “The girl of to-day is much more philosophic and rational than the girl of 20 years ago, but she is far too well satisfied with her own crude and raw opinions and needs discussion with older people. Girls of today are brutally frank. We can be brutally frank with them. There are things we can and must discuss with them; things which no one discussed 20 years ago.”
