CRANWELL WEEK
SIR,—On April 27 you published a paragraph giving instances of the bullying of new junior entrants by gangs of seniors at Cranwell. You will now rejoice to hear that I am told that subsequent to this date the Air Ministry issued an order prohibiting these degrading and senseless practices. I am, however, also told that the order was received with mixed feel- ings by some of the old hands, so that whether it remains a dead letter, or whether the new entrants who join this week are spared, depends on the will of the senior officers in charge of the college to enforce it. Parents can also play their part by urging their sons to take the lead in creating a healthy public opinion at Cranwell or at least to refrain from joining in any 'ganging up.'—Yours faithfully.
A CRANWELL PARENT
