General Paget has not had long to wait for a

new appointment. Governorship of the Royal Hospital at Chelsea will in itself give little scope for his qualities, but it should leave him leisure to continue in one form or the other the valuable educational work he was carrying out so successfully at Ashridge. His successor there must be chosen soon, for it is hoped that the new regime will be inaugurated in January. The Governors of Ashridge, I understand, are much impressed by the quality of some of the applicants for the post of Director.
