 London-Eton is without doubt the pre- mier school of England, and today there is a small band of eighteen boys wearing Eton jackets who could walk al the way from Brighton to John O'Groats on their own prospective acres, if suitably arrang- ed, and find one of their own palatial homes awaiting them at the end of every fifteen minutes walk. They might also receive a title of prestage every ten miles of their journey without exhausting their future honors.
 A scnool boys life, perhaps, may not be an undiluted blessing, but II its pains can be alloyiated by the prospect of coronets, of broad acres and lord.y pleasure houses, there are at least thirty Eton boys whose lot is a comparatively happy one Twenty four of the pupils at Eton who are imbib- ing their early course of education are heirs to thirty earldoms, twenty-two viscounties and thirty-three baronies, in addition to other hereditary honors. These same boys are also destined to inherit forty-eight of the most beautiful houses in Engiand, some of princely magnihcence, and almost as many acres as are in three English coun- ties. This, however, does not exhaust the school boasts three royal princes, one of whom may wear a crown, and there are many untitled boys whose millions would buy up half a dozen earls.
