Abstract:		 It is not entirely clear why Kate Fowler Tutt (1868-1954) came to be remembered as the spinster schoolmistress who objected to Rodin’s sculpture, The Kiss, being placed in Lewes Town Hall in late 1914, when this venue was used for recreation by soldiers billeted in the town. This story has caused her reputation to suffer unfairly and her praiseworthy achievements in improving the lives of working families and their children to be ignored. As head of South Malling Elementary School, she was concerned primarily with the physical and moral well-being of her pupils, and moving to the Central Senior Girls’ School, Lewes, she led the Juvenile Health Crusade. The priority placed on citizenship was reflected in her work with her girls during the First World War, when her thrift campaign included the instigating of a communal kitchen. She retired from teaching to become a committed borough councillor, and as chairman of the housing committee oversaw the first stage of the building of the Nevill Estate. She was in constant demand throughout the county as an informative and entertaining lecturer, and during the 1930s promoted League of Nations ideals of international peace by participating in International Friendship League student exchanges, visiting Germany and Russia herself. During the Second World War, she did her best to ensure that the borough’s education committee provided adequately for evacuee as well as local children. Convinced that the involvement of women was essential to good government, she continued to address women’s groups and to exhort their members to play their full part in the life of the community.
