WOMEN IN MALTA
Sir-I am sorry that my remark about Malta did not satisfy "Saltwater," and on one point I am ready to stand corrected. My script should in fact have read "do not seem to learn." English is taught in the schools, but as far as I could gather, there is no compulsory pericd of attendance, and in the case of many working women, education has been so brief as to leave little mark. I myself encountered young women who spoke no English. My information regarding this and the origin of the Faldetta was gained from Maltese in Valetta a year ago, where, by the way. "goats and aromas" are no longer a
feature of the streets.-
