The Rev. C. A. Alington, Head-Master of Shrewsbury, has been

chosen to succeed Dr. Edward Lyttelton at Eton. Mr. Alington was educated at Marlborough, and at Oxford ho became a Fellow of All Souls. Before going to Shrewsbury, where his success has been remarkable, he was a master both at Marlborough and Eton. He married a half-sister of Dr. Lyttelton. His book, A School- master's Apology, is well known. He is a man of ideas, occasionally a little fanciful, say his critics, but he has a notable freshness of mind that never seems to fail in energy and understanding. He is also a cricketer.
