MONITORIAL BULLYING.

[TO THE EDITOR OP Tun "EIPXOTATOVI

Sru,—Seeing in your columns a letter calling attention to the "monitorial bullying" at Charterhouse, I think it only right to say that whilst I have been here, which is near upon three years, there has been no case of bullying, except what cannot be called bullying, when a boy is punished by the head monitor of his house, or of the school, for some deserving offence, in which case he is permitted to appeal to the master. I think it right also to add that I am sorry to see that such a letter should have been written by an "Old Carthusian," who ought to have more respect for his school,—I am, &c., A. P. C.

[True respect for a great school is best shown by efforts to make it more perfeet.—En. Spectator.]
