A LESSON FROM DENMARK
SIR,—We have read with much pleasure Sir Richard Livingstone's interesting and constructive review of our book, Education In Democracy, in the last issue of The Spectator, but should like to point out that it contains a slight slip. Sir Richard truly writes that the Folk High Schools are "colleges for the adult education of the masses," but then adds that one-third of these actually attend them. It is, in fact, one-third of the rural population, and not of the whole Danish people, who find their way to these schools, though it is true that some at least of the industrial workers are now making the discovery that they, too, have something to gain from the Folk Schools.—Yours faithfully,
67 Pont Street, London, S.W. r.
