“Go Western, Young Women!”
is Turkish Urge Under New Law
ANKARA, Turkey, May 9. – A new law entitled “the Readjustment of Gestures” apparently amended by the Ministry of Education, makes courses in etiquette obligatory in all Turkish schools for girls. The Ministry points out that Turkish girls have Westernized their costumes, but still need to be taught how to converse, walk and smile in the Western way. – Associated Press, May 1931
