ABSTRACT
In 1920 the Trust was approaching its Golden Jubilee. Despite certain gloomy prognostications of previous years, twenty-five of the thirty-eight schools had survived. In the face of the ultraconservative views of some of its members and headmistresses, the Council had contrived to steer the schools into the mainstream of educational development without abrogating their ideals and principles. The schools were open to girls of all classes and types, to a minimum of 10 per cent from the elementary schools, to the intellectually backward as well as the advanced: while the general academic standard remained high the schools had, in fact, become multilateral.
