THIS is the first of a series of six talks by Mrs.
Priestley, who was formerly lecturer in English and acting Principal of Dudley Training College for men and women. This afternoon she speaks in general on the subject of systematized reading for women engaged in business, and points out that with twenty minutes a day one can read twelve books in a year. In this talk Mrs. Priestley lays down the principle that readers with limited time at their disposal should choose both classics and now books.
