Lua; H,Lioave.—The pupils of a day-aeltoof
have not the same need for long holidays as boys living
away from home. If the Eton, Harrow. Shrewsbury, or
Winchester boy has long holidays, he is, at any mit,
absent from his family and boom throughout the school
terms. Not so the boy at the City of London or the Oil-
wick schools. who returns once or twice each day to Inn
home, and has only five whole days of schooling in each
week. Yet Dulwich boys (to quote an example) cannot
make more than one hundred and sevesty•tive complete
days of schooling, even if they miss no single half-day
when the school is opened. Their holidays, half-holidays,
amid Sundays amount to a hundred and ninety days in the
year. )lore work and ie.' play is clearly needed here ;
but the practice of the great public schools is copied
without regard to the widely differing circumstances and
prospects of the pupils. Boys whose de.tination is the
desk, the warehouse, the shop, or one of the infinite variety
of industrial pursuits, cannot afford to opens, a lame
section of the year in mere pastime or listless idlensas
The masters of theme metropolitan and suburban day-
ischools have not the same need of long vacations that cua
be pleaded for their fellow-workers in boarding-sehouts.
An Eton, or Rugby, or Harrow master is more or lens
engaged with his pupils from early morning till late at
night, and even his Sundays are not days of rest. Yet the
head-master of Eton holds that such duties, tilling ten or
twelve hours every day, involve no severe mental labour.
The masters in large d: y-schoole have only half as many
hours of work each day. and no Sunday work. Yet four
months out of the twelve are claimed by the masters of
middle-class dapachoola as indispensable to the recruiting
of their exhausted energies. If this claim be just, it fol.
lows that Eton and Rugby masters, who work twice as long,
should get eight instead of four months' vacation. It is
only in Bsgland that each a claim is set up. Schools re
simiar character in Scotland, Prussia, and other countries
where educatiee is best attended to, give less holiday by
ail or eight weeks in th- year. One coneplenons result of
the shorter holidays in Scotland la the frequent sitcom of
Scotch boys in coespetition what the ablest youths from
the English public scaools. —Msesillein's Altrum.in• for
