THE B.E.F. AS A FRENCH AUTHOR SUMS IT UP
SIX points in favour of the British soldier were enumerated by Captain Andre Maurois, the French author, at a lecture to French liaison officers with the
B.E.F.
Captain Maurois is himself a liaison officer. Lord Gort was among those who heard his address. The speaker finds that the British soldier is a

THE PUBLIC SCHOOLS
THE war spells the doom of the Public Schools, Mr. Lees-Smith, M.P. for Keigh- ley, told the House of Com- mons recently.
He was leading for Labour in
a debate that ringed over the whole field of education,
"It is impossible for the Public Schools to stand un their own feet any longer," he asserted.
"Such schools ns Rugby, Charter- house, Uppingham and Marlborough have reached the greatest, crisis 'in their history."
Monstrous Foca
Fees were about £250 a year for each child, and that meant that after the wur not more than a tenth of the boys or girls would be able to go back.
The system was so extravagant that 90 per cent, of the public schools would have to close down.
Suggestions had been made that the public schools, like the secondary schools, should be given State grants. That raised the question: Should taxes bo used to perpetuate the greatest elasa distinction in our social life?
"Certainly there can be no public nld without pubile control and with- out public entry. These schools will have to accept, as did the secondary schools, a large proportion of chil dren from the elementary schools."
The proportion would have to be increased rapidly until it reached a substantial Ogure.
Public school fees, He
"extravagant to
a monstrous degree," were partly due
to the boarding system.

Lees-Smith thought it un- natural that the most comfortably- off section of the community should Wish

"THIS is a crusade, not against the light, but for it. These men of the Australian Imperial Force will be much more truly Crusaders than were the men whose enigies lie in the Templars Church in London," said the Australian Premier, Mr. R. G.
