ABSTRACT
In its report the Commission had recommended that a girls’ secondary school modelled on Miss Buss’s North London Collegiate School should be established in every town in the country with 4,000 inhabitants or over. It had advocated considerable changes in the existing course of instruction given to girls of all classes, so that more stress should be laid on arithmetic, and, where suitable, mathematics and Latin should be introduced into the curriculum. And, much to the delight of Emily Davies and her friends, it had suggested that women should be given the same opportunity as men of obtaining higher education.
