[To the Editor of THE SPECTATOR]
SIR,—Having but lately left a public school, I should like to take the opportunity of endorsing the truth in Mr. Veagh's article on public school religion. From personal experience, the very necessary, if not essential, discussions on'the subject of Christianity which he advocates, are being organised at the present time ; not by the school, but by the boys them- selves. Surely this gives conclusive evidence that there is a real need for discussions on all matters appertaining to the spiritual life, and that these discussions, which so often end nowhere through lack of mature and well-directed advice, should be encouraged and helped by masters suitably equipped to deal with them.
In conclusion, I would say, that there is More vital work being performed through school Christian Unions, where they exist, than through the ordinary school services.—Yours
