the lack of appreciation and moral courage on the
part of the people,' who, he said, were still unwilling

Indian Women's University for women's education.
Experiments must continue to be made in education

All this is being done by the Japan Women's University. + Sir Hormasji's suggestion is simply to pay more attention to the study of English than what is given to a second language and that is being done.itage Portal
