LIFE AT AN ENGLISH SCHOOL.

What MIR. Kipling Means When He
Uses the Terms "Gating,'' "Pas-
times" "Perfects," "FOrms," Etc.
In the United States many readers who
follow with interest the adventures of Kip
lings heroes, StallSy, McTurk and Beetle
lost part Of their enjoyment by an unfa-
miliarit with the exact status of an Eng
lish public school.
In the first place 1t must be understood
that the term Public as applied in Eng
land bears the exactly opposite meaning
10 what it does in the United States. The
counterpart in England of the American
public school is the board school-the pub
lie school, in reality. being a very exclu-
sive If not private institution, entrance to
which requires ON the part of the pupil, pa
rents of a certain social standing with
financial means to pay fees ranging from
S400 to $500 Il year to very considerable
sums as at Eton, Harrow and Winchester
The direct authority over an English
public school, such as tie one at which
Mr.. Kipling was educated-the United Ser
vice College Westward Ho-is vested in a
headmaster with housemasters and as
sistant masters under him, nearly all Of
whom are high graduates of either Oxford
or Cambridge universities, and several of
whom are cergymen of Inc Established
Church, of WLich faith all the boys are
presumed to De members.
The system of Grading.
AS nearly all the students received ara
boarders, OF whom there may be several
hundreds ranging in age from u to IS, the
school or college is divided for domestic
purposes into several houses, so many boys
being con yned TO the care of house
master, who In some instances provides the
a.

boys ra6ing their meals In a large han
provided for that purpo e and furnished
in that style OF indestructihle simplicity.
by which plain deal is preferred rnahoc-
any. and carpets give place t. sanded
floors.
The system of grading Is quite different
TO that followed in the United States. An
English public schoo! Is divided into Twelve
forms or classes-the upper sixth lower
sixth. upper fifth. lower nth, and so on
down 90 the lower FIRST, which Is the bot
tom Of the school. A boys position a,
the outset IS determined by an entrance
examination, ana thereafter by his ability
as displayed In the examination al the end
OF each term. so that tie classes for the
various studies hcing made up wlthout
reference so the forms, h Is quite possible
for two boys in say the upper fourth to
seldom meet IA che actual course OF thoir
work.

When the Ship Comes in.

Somewhere, out on the blue seas sailing,
Beyond the reach of my eager hailng,
Where the winds dance and spin;
over the breakers Gin:
Out where the dark storm clouds are lift
ing,
Out where the binding fog is drifting,
Out where the treacherous sand is shift
ing,
My ship is coming in.
o, I have watched till my eyes are ach-
ing.
Day after weary day:
o, have hoped till my heart was
breaking,
While the long nights ebhed away;
Could l but know where the waves have
tossed her,
Could / but know where the winds had
lost her
Out in the twilight gray.
But though the storms her course havo
altered
Surely the port she'll win;
Never my faith in the ship has faltered,
| know she is coming in.
For through the restless ways of her
roaming,
Through the mad rush OF the wild waves
foaning,
Through the white crest Of the pillows
combing,
My ship is coming in.
Breasting the tides where the gulls are
flying.
Swiftly she's coming in:
Shadows and deeps and rocks defying,
Bravely she's coming in;
Precious the love she will bring TO bless
me,
Snowy the arms she will bring to caress
me,
In the proud purple of kings she will
dress me.
When my ship comes in,
While in the sunshine her sails will DO
cleaning,
See where my ship comes in;
At masthead and peak her colors stream
ing,
Proudly she's sailing in;
Love. hope and joy on her decks arc
cheering
Music will welcome her glad appearing,
And my heart will sing at her stately
nearing,
My ship Is coming in.
Robert ]. Burdette.
