University College, London, Milton Mount College, Aberdare Hall, West Ham Girls’ School, Grey Coat School, Westminster, Sarah Bonnell School, London School of Medicine, and was also on the Committee of the National Health Society. As well as an _associate_ of— College for Working Women, London Pupil Teachers’ Association, University Association for Women Teachers, Art for Schools Association, and of the Somerville Club. She was interested in— The London Institution, Governesses’ Benevolent Institution. Foremost among later works must come the Teachers’ Guild, of which the first origin is due to Miss Buss. Like most things undertaken for or by women, it began on the strictly practical or economic side; though it now embraces the highest ideals of educational possibilities. It is now devoted to securing the best conditions on which the teacher can best grow; but the first start had to deal with the question how the teacher might live at all. And as we found the germ of all the higher education for girls in the “Report of the Governesses’ Benevolent Institution,” we find ourselves going back to that Report for the origin of the Guild which aims at the highest development of the teacher. Governesses, as a class, come to poverty and dependence not from extravagance or self-indulgence, but from sheer self-sacrifice, in unselfish devotion to the claims of relatives, and to no class is thrift more difficult. The effort to make it possible was from the first one of the leading impulses of Miss Buss’ work. As early as 1866, a letter from Dr. Hodgson shows that she had then discussed the subject with him— ... “You may remember the tenor of my remarks in Camden Street on the ‘Reports of the Governesses’ Benevolent Institution.’ When I spoke of _saving for one’s self_, I wished merely to give, for completeness’ sake, the other side of your phrase ‘saving _from our friends_.’ The duty and advantage of saving are common to both sexes. Individual cases might be dealt with, or judged, according to circumstances; but the general doctrine must be preached without reserve. “It would be much nearer my notion to say: ‘Earn sixpence a day (if you cannot earn more), and save out of it a _penny_, or, if that be not possible, then a _halfpenny_, or if that be not possible, then a _farthing_. In any amount, however small, let the claims of the future be recognized.... Let the general duty and wisdom of saving be taught and recognized. Then let the needful allowances be made in individual cases. It may be more meritorious, because more difficult, for one person to save £5 than for another to save £500. Let each judge himself as he would another.”
