DIET AT THE PUBLIC SCHOOLS

[To the Editor of the SPECTATOR.]

Sim—Your correspondent " Enquirer " who wishes to find a public school " where epidemics are, if not unknown, at least infrequent," must find one where the regulations for the Christmas holidays are :

(1) No boy may attend any theatre, pantomime, cinema or other place of public entertainment. (2) No boy may enter any hotel, restaurant or other place of public refreshment.

(3) No boy may travel in any train, tram, omnibus or public

vehicle.

(4) No boy may attend any church, chapel or other place of public worship.

But what a life !—I am, Sir, &e., R. C. LUCAS. Woodfield House, Sebright School, Wolverley, nr. Kidderminster.
