of favouritism and Old-School-Tie patriotism. It may be due partly at least, I fancy, to the self-confidence that is the product of a particular system of education....
Hence, though I should half-like to abolish the public 'schools, I feel that there is something to be said for them and their Old-School-Tic tradition. I shall not weep if they disappear, but I thall sympathise with those who do so long as they do not get me into a corner and drool their school reminiscences.
But perhaps the public school will not die after all. It may merely take a new form better suited to a new age. We are hastening, it is said, towards a classless world in which oven public schools will become public property,
Even after privilege has been abolished, however, the Old School Tie will, I am sure, still be preserved. After all, is to be hoped, the world will go on being clvilled.
