THE WOODARD SCHOOLS [To the Editor of the SPECTATOR.] -
SIR,—We desire to bring to the public.notice and to endorse an appeal for £80,000 which is being made on behalf of the
Woodard Schools in the West of England. • - These schools were founded by the- late Canon Woodard, whose life forms one of the great romances hi the history Of education in the last century. Their express purpose to extend the Public School system of education to those whose means are not at present sufficient, for we are persuaded that the need of that character which is the combined product of the National Church and the Public School is greater to-day than ever.
We believe that the schools in this Western Division are loyally carrying out the principles of the Founder, Canon Woodard, and we commend this appeal and wish it a quick and generous response.
Cheques should be gent to :—The Provost : The Rev. F. M. Etherington, Wrington, Somerset ; The Bursar : Major M. Cely Trevilian, D.L., J.P., Midelney Manor, Langport,, Somerset ; or to the Divisional Chaplain and Appeal Secretary : The Rev. P. M. Taylor, 15 Palace Chambers, Bridge Street. Westminster, S.W. 1, from -whom further information may be obtained.—We are, Sir, &c., BASIL BATH AND WELLS, Visitor ; ST. CLAIR SARUM ; W. EXON ; WALTERUS TRURON ; 3. P. LLANDAFP ; EDWARD SWANS. ET BRECK. ; C. MONEMUTEN ; D. L. ST. DAVIDS.
