Sus,—Being a junior assistant master at a well-known public school,

I feel that the article by a retired headmaster lacks one very important point. Few people realise that for nearly a third of the year schoolmasters are compelled to live in hotels, unless they are fortunate enough to be able to stay with relations. This is due to the long holidays when school buildings are naturally closed down.—Yours faithfully, A. F. GODWIN.
