Just as Charterhouse migrated from its old Aldersgate home to

Godalming, so Merchant Taylors' School, which took over the Charterhouse buildings, is now moving to the outskirts of London, though not quite so far away. At Sandy Lodge, near Rickmansworth, where the Duke of York laid the foundation stone of the new school on Thursday of last week, Merchant Taylors' will still be accessible to most, if not all, of the London day boys whom it has served for generations past. Professor W. G. Newton's building is planned on a generous scale, and will assuredly admit more light and fresh air than the old school enjoys. If the fine traditions of Aldersgate can be transplanted to Sandy Lodge, as we do not doubt, Merchant Taylors' should have a new era of prosperity.
