believe that Uppingham makes fuller
provision than any other existing school
to meet the necessity for diverse employ
ment or healthy amusement outside OF
study hours Until within few years
the great schools mostly contented them
selves with providing facilities for cricket
and foot ball Fol these ample provision
is made at Uppingham in several large
playing fields. and the cricketers OF the
school particularly have won for them
selves a record SO distinguished as to
prove conclusively that exclusive atten
ton to this game is not essential to great
success But Mr. Thring was perhaps the
first head master who fully realized and
acted upon the fact that many boy has

construction of forge and metal work

In the same category may be included
the school gardens These gardens,

of plants and flowers In connection with
the gardens is an aviary where the lad
