Notes From Elsewhere
Miss Fleming is well known among teachers for her skill in using folk tales to impart a general knowledge of history and geography to children
assistant to Professor H.J. Fleure at Aberystwyth, Miss R.M. Fleming, who had conducted research on 'half-castes' in Britain
Rachel Mary Fleming is one of the category of people who are often invisible even in institutional histories, one of those who do their work with quiet devotion
The work of the Geographical Association is still expanding rapidly, and we are all, as usual, deeply indebted to Miss R. M. Fleming, who, though without any official connection with the College, gives endless time to students to help them with problems and difficulties. It is therefore a special pleasure to state that this has been a year of very marked personal success for Miss Flemmg, whose work has so long merited greater recognition. Her papers to the British Association at Edinburgh have appeared, one in the " Scottish Geographical Magazine " (Geography
and Tradition), and one in " Man " (Sex and Growth Characters in delation to Race Study). The latter was the subject of an evening lecture by Miss Fleming at the Royal Anthropological Institute. In addition to this Miss Fleming's book, " Ancient Tales from Many Lands, has had a quite unusually good reception, and has sold very rapidly ; I hope it may influence not only educational methods, but anthropological rebcarch as well. Finally Miss Fleming has been invited to become one of the Secretaries of Section H (Anthropology) of the British Association. She has been President of the local branch of the Geographical Association during the current session.
