BOARD-SCHOOL SCHOLARS WHO HAVE FALLEN IN THE LATE WAR.
rro THE EDITOR OF THE "SPECTATOR."i
you allow sue to make the suggestion that some memorial should be put up in any Board-school of which any old scholars have fallen in the late war in the service of their country ? There must be few schools of which the managers would have difficulty in getting the small amount requisite to fix, say, a wooden tablet to have the names of such scholars painted thereon. The reasons that make it desirable to record the names in some such way at Eton or Rugby apply in the case
of the humbler Board-school.—I am, Sir, Stc., H. M.
[We most heartily endorse this excellent proposal. We desire to see as much esprit de corps in our primary as in our public schools, and nothing will help its growth more than to make the schoolhouse a place of memorial for the noble deeds done in the nation's service by former members of the school. —ED. Spectator.]
