LETTERS TO THE EDITOR.
HOW TO CONQUER SOUTH AFRICA IN ITS -- SCHOOLS.
[TO THE EDITOR OF THE "SPECTATOR."]
SIR,—The question of education in the schools of South Africa, with which Mrs. Heckford deals so ably in the Spectator of April 20th, is doubtless all-important among what she justly terms "the works of peace." May I crave space in your columns to invite her, and any who have read her letter with sympathy, to send for the programme of the "Victoria League " ? This society, which will be formally inaugurated next month, already numbers amongst its supporters women of all shades of politics, who, in the words of the first resolution passed at the preliminary meeting, "are in sympathy with Imperial objects and desire a closer union between the different parts of the Empire." At this meeting, held on the 2nd inst., the subject of education was mooted and a strong desire expressed to aid the "Guild of Loyal Women," already formed in South Africa, to take steps towards widening the historical knowledge of the rising generation in the new Colonies. Any further information will be gladly supplied by the Hon. Mrs. Alfred Lyttelton, hon. sec., "Victoria League," 16 Great College Street, Westminster.--.
I am, Sir, &c., M. E. JERSEY, Osterley Park, Islewor th. President " Victoria League."
