r working women; she and her husband had been very friendly to the Northern side during the civil war. An important movement had been set on foot just at this time by Mrs. Grey and her sister, Miss Sherret. This was the institution of schools for girls of the middle class, whose education, up to that time, had usually been conducted at home by a governess.

The Bishop of Manchester spoke in opposition to the proposed schools.
