It is officially announced that the Rev. H. M. Burge, headmaster of Winchester College, has been appointed Anglican Bishop of Southwark,-''in ; "Su'C>:'essibn! " to. Dr. Talbot, who was recently appointed Bishop of Winchester. A SCHOOLMASTER BISHOP. The appointment of Dr. Burge to tho bishopric of Southwark adds one moro to the list of schoolmaster bishops in the Church of England. Some years ago such appointments were frequent, but for somo time churchmen who havo distinguished themselves in other branches of church work havo generally been selected. In 1910, however, Dr. Pollock, Master of Wellington College, was appointed Bishop of Norwich, and now a bishopric has fallen to the lot of the Head Master of Winchester College, the oldest of the public schools of England, founded by William of Wykehain in 1387, and opened in 1393. The Rev. H. M. Burge, M.A., D.D., was born in 1862, and was educated at Bedford Grammar School, Marlborough College, and University College, Oxford. After a very successful University career ho was appointed Sixth Form Master at Wellington College, which position he held from 1887 to 1890, when he was elected Fellow and Tutor of University College, Oxford, becoming Dean in 1895. In 1900 ho was appointed nead Master of Repton School, of which the present Head Master is the Rev. W. Temple, son of the late Archbishop of Canterbury, and one of the ablest of the younger senerhtion of Anglican churchmen. Dr. Burge was made Hon. Fellow of University College in 1908, and was appointed Head Master of Winchester College in 1901. He was a .contributor to a publication entitled "Essays" on Secondary Education."

The vacancy at Southwark was caused by the appointment of Dr. Talbot to the Bishooric of Winchester, in succession to Dr. Ryle, who, on account of failing health resigned in order to occupy the less strenuous position nf Dean of Westminster. the crevious Dean (Dr. Armitage Robinson) having. nl«o for l\pnlth reasons, left Westminster for the Deanery of Wells.
