The New School Tie
By Hugh Lyon
IF public schools are worth pre- serving then it is a matter of com- mon justice that their advantages should be open to all who can make proper use of them.
We are told public schools are in Queer Street. After the last war they were saved by the vast army of those who had made money out of the war, and whose first use of it was often to send their sons to public schools.
This was so marked a feature of the post-war years that not only did the old schools fill up again, but there were several new foundations.
And once those profiteers had got their own sons within the walls they were the first to raise an outcry against the gates be- ing opened wider.
Such a thing must not and will not hap- pen again.
State Support
A SECOND possibility is that public schools should slowly disappear; fade out from a scene where they have outlived their usefulness.
If they have indeed outlived their usefulness, then clearly this is what ought to happen. But I suggest that it is possible that they yet have a part to play.
Public schools should long ago Religious education is, have thrown their gates wide to course, more than religious in- Instruction in the either wholly or in part without previous boys of all classes. The obstacle struction.
