WOMEN OF EGYPT ARE ACTIVE
Interest In Affairs Outside of Home
Draws Comment From High
Commissioner.

London.-Egyptian women are at
last beginning to take an interest in
public affairs, particularly in the
schools. Viscount Miner In his re-
port as high commissioner of Egypt,
says that no change in that country in
the last few years Is more striking
than the awakening interest Of women
in affairs outside Of the home.
The commissioner added that few
years ago it was rare to find a moth
er showing a direct personal interest
In the welfare of her daughter at
school. All this was left to the IA
ther, who often had to overcome the
mothers opposition to the education
Of her daughter. 49,.
During the last few years these
conditions have changed in the larger
towns where mothers now visit the
schools and discuss their daughters
progress with the head teacher" said
the report.
This change is attributed by the
high commissioner largely to educa-
ton, and he predicts that its infiu-
ence will be potent on the future prog
ress Of educational development in
Egypt.
