A HINT TO PUBLIC SCHOOLS.
(From the “Headway.”) A good many headmasters, themselves personally friendly to the League of Nations, might with much advantage institute a custom now firmly planted at the City of London School. The sehoo! supports a flourishing league of Nations Union haunch of its own, but once a year the whole of the Upper School is assembled during a school period to hear an address on the rm*anjng and principles of the League. I>a.st year the address was given by General Sir Frederick Maurice, and this year, on November 10th, by Mr Wilson Harris. The headmaster, who regularly takes the •hair himself, explained on the latter occasion that such addresses were arranged because he was anxious that no boy should ever leave the school with out having had an opportunity to tinderstand fully what the I league of Nations is, and what it stands for. This annual address is followed by a business like appeal for members of the school branch of the Union. No doubt something of ihe same kind is done at other schools. No doubt, equally, it might with much advantage lx* done at manv where it is not.
