ABSTRACT
In each school the staff were first invited to come for individual interviews to report upon whatever they might feel to be the main difficulties of their work. Had experience in a Dalton school and found far more 'work attitude', the girls took on responsibility for what they did. A Junior School mistress mentions the everlasting problem of how much restriction to impose on noise. In a school with silence rules only when going in and out of prayers, a young mistress reports that there is too much noise, she would like silence in the corridors. Thinks the schools often get too much of a classical bias, and that classical mind does not sufficiently understand the processes of reflection, it makes the mind too tidy. A Junior School mistress thinks non-bookish children in Senior School due to having books too difficult for them in the Junior School, so staff have to spend all the time explaining and making it nice.
