A PLEA FOR ARTS COURSES

SIR,—You very rightly remark : "That Arts courses at the Universities should have to cease is deplorable in view of post-war needs in education." Is it too late to save a handful of non-scientific thinkers for the service of the nation? A thousand men, picked as carefully as Rhodes scholars are picked, would make little difference to the war effort; they might make a very big difference indeed to the peace effort.—Yours faithfully, (Rev.) C. KINGSLEY WILLIAMS. Kingstv,od School at Upp:ngham.
