NOTES: Catalogued 7/95, DZ. Caption from --Halfway to Freedom--: "Archaic Educator: Khadeeja Feroze Ud-din, a deputy directress of education, veils face and hides hands in the presence of men. That she opposes coeducation is not suprising. A dual system of schools will be an expensive tribute for the hard-pressed state to pay to an archaic orthodoxy."
