NAN you imagine the boys in the A,

elementary school-boys of from
twelve to sixteen-writing plays in blank
verse, rehearsing them, making the cos
tunes, and finally acting their dramas
with so much success as to attract the
attention of the whole country? Prob
ably not, yet exactly this is done by the
juvenile pupils of the Perse School at
Cambridge, place of learning which,
thus far. is unique in this country, and
which may now be training the Pinero,
Shaw or even the Shakespeare of the
future.
At the Perse School they teach boys
to be actors and playwrights and pro-
ducers but not with the idea that they
will follow any of these callings in after
life any more than that they will be-
