SIXTH FORMS AND " THE SPECTATOR "
[To the Editor of THE SPECTATOR.] Stu,—When I was in the Army Class at Wellington in 19or, one hour a week was devoted to " General Knowledge." This consisted of the reading by the form master of the Editorial Comments in the current week's Spectator, to which he added his own explanations. We were always told that it was our duty to keep in touch with what was going on in the world and that The Spectator was much the best medium for an " impartial and intelligent survey " of world affairs.
I am sorry to have to record that this excellent arrangement was confined to the Army Class. This may not, Sir, be alto- gether to your taste, but I can only offer the questionable comfort that in those days the really brilliant boys at Wellington all
went into the Army !—Yours faithfully, C. ROBINSON. 45 Gower Street, W.C. r.
