The London School Board canvas goes on with really healthy

enthusiasm. We have elsewhere given our views as to the sort of School Board which would have most chance of leading the educa- tion movement of the country. Here we will only say that we trust the electors of Tuesday will prove the genuine interest of London in the election by a large vote, a vote at least as large in proportion to the number of the electors as would be given for a contested Parliamentary election. A School Board elected by a minority of the electors would exercise a very much smaller influence than one manifestly representing the real wish and choice of London. Languor in choosing, might not improbably lead to languor in the chosen.
