WOMEN & DICTATORS
TOTALITARIAN DOCTRINES CAUSE CONCERN. Growing concern is manifest among women of the British teaching profession lest totalitarian doctrines—to which “feminism is anathema” —may permeate the educational world and upset plans carefully laid since the beginning of the century. The problem was frankly discussed when the National Union of Women Teachers met in conference at Eastbourne recently. Mr A. McMillan, the newly-ap-pointed president, drawing attention to the need for the exorcise of the greatest vigilance in the protection of children against influences which would rob them of their heritage of freedom. So far as Britain is concerned. Mrs McMillan pointed out, the struggle to establish sex equality in the teaching profession has gone on unremittingly for many years. But. “it is impossible for the most sanguine among us to deny." she said, “that, in a large and increasing number of countries, women are being beaten back and degraded to those levels from which, at the cost of much toil and suffering, after many generations, they were rising.”
