Women's Institute Meeting-Bognor Regis Observer-Wednesday 11 September 1929
Transcript:

W.I. A most illuminating address on "Women Police" was given by Chief Inspector Campbell at the monthly meeting of the Women's Institute on Wednesday last. After briefly outlining the history of the movement, the lecturer gave a simple, direct account of the work for which the women police are required. She indicated clearly how in many respects the position of women offenders was far worse than that of men just because male police are employed, going on to prove the value of women in dealing with little children and even, in some cases, with men. The Institute members were much interested and impressed. After tea, the Study Circle greatly amused the other members by acting a translation of an old French play, "The Farce of the Worthy Master Pathelin," the parts being taken by Mrs. Godell (L 'Avocat Pathelin), Miss Hunt (Guillemette, his wife), Mrs. Beatty (Master William Joceaulme, the draper), Mrs. Maidment (Tibald Lambkin, a poor shepherd), and Mrs. Sayers (the Judge). An excellent exhibition of old teapots and tea caddies was also held.
