EASTER AT SCHOOL
Stu,—I see that Janus says that for the proposal to fix Easter in April there is " everything to be said and nothing to be said against." Yet I doubt if he will find much support for his attitude from those who have to do with boys and girls at boarding schools. The value to them of the experience of taking part in the kind of worship, or of music, which is customary in all schools during Holy Week and Eastertide, leads some even to advocate the fixing of Easter so as to come always within the school term. To deprive so many of our children altogether of the experience of taking part in these things would certainly strike many of us as regrettable. If Easter should be fixed at a date which falls within the school holidays, the great majority of children would never know anything but the secular Easter holiday.—Yours faithfully,
