[To TIER EDITOR Or TER SPRCTATOR.1 Srs,—It is to be

hoped that your articles and Mr. Bull's letter will inaugurate an extensive movement for the sup- pression of vicious literature. The Head-Masters' Conference and the Head-Masters' Association have, for some years past, had Committees dealing with the matter ; but our efforts have been constantly impeded by the fact that we are prudish by profession. For this reason our repeated remonstrances have gone unheeded, and we have not ventured on a prosecution. A. Committee of laymen such as you suggest would not be liable to the same imputation, and would be far more effective. Most Head-Masters, I think, would gladly subscribe to the guarantee fund proposed by Mr. BulL—I am, Sir,
