[To the Editor of THE SPECTATOR.] have been much interested

in the correspondence on " Sixth Forms " and particularly so as, in the schools connected with the Parents' National Educational Union, lessons on " current events " occur once a week for pupils from third form upwards. Their attention is thus drawn to The Spectator and other weeklies and cuttings from the good daily papers are pinned on the notice boards of each form. This has been the custom for over thirty years, so E. Hawes' wish that it will be " the ordinary way of education " is likely to be realised is more and more schools adopt the methods associated with Charlotte Mason's name.—Yours faithfully, H. FRANKLIN, Hon. Secretary.
