Work and Play in Girls' Schools By Three Head Mistresses

"Work and Play in Girls' Schools" by Dorothea Beale, Lucy H. M. Soulsby, and Jane Frances Dove is a handbook for teachers in girls' schools, giving advice on how to teach, set up classes, and make school important for young women. It talks about making education better, teaching character, and helping students grow their minds during their school years. Dorothea Beale's introduction says the book is meant to give useful teaching advice and shows that the writers worked together, with connections to Cheltenham Ladies' College. Beale says that it is important to teach both the mind and morals, and teachers need to keep learning and changing how they teach. The introduction prepares readers for a talk about different subjects in education, with the goal of making a good learning place that understands what girls need.
