SIR, — During the last six months I have sent three boys

to the Public Schools Appointment Bureau. One wrote to say that he had been found .exactly the post he wanted; the second that he had been found an opening with prospects that exceeded his wildest hopes. The third, owing to a change in his plans, presented a difficult problem which the Bureau solved with efficiency and dispatch. I have a letter from him expressing his appreciation of the way in which he was treated and the excellence of the post he has been found.

I am aware that this does not prove the Bureau to be invariably successful, but it may serve as a reply from an entirely disinterested source to the anonymous attack by " Applicant's Father " last week, if indeed any of your readers troubled to do more than wonder vaguely whether the bey was as normal as his parent suggests.—Yours
