WOMEN IN ENGLISH LIFE.

[To THE EDITOR OF THE "SPECTATOR"] Six,—In your review of Miss G. Hill's work on "Women in English Life," in the Spectator of August 8th, you state that the school at Bramley, Surrey, is the only one "in the South" for girls ;—but there is one at Blandford, Dorset, known as the Milldown School. This was established in 1864, and here, for low fees, boys and girls are educated together, and with happy effects, especially on their manners. There are about fourty-four pupils of the two sexes in the main school, and twenty-two more in a Kindergarten attached to it.. You have drawn attention to a great injustice to girls, which ought forthwith to be redressed.—I am, Sir, &c., T. HORLOCK BASTARD.
