In going about English towns and
cities one is struck by the absence
of large, well-located, adequately
equipped common schools or high
schools. The board schools gen
orally are located in congested
areas and very often are not much
larger than cottage-like homes
which surround them. Private
schools very often are conducted in
large residences which have been
converted.
One provision enforced by prac-
tically all secondary schools is that
every master (teacher) must have
a bachelors degree.

The public schools are the real
criterion of social standing. Elton

are for the blue blooded" folk. The
training is similar to that given in
scores of American academies or
prep" schools.
By diligent study, a bakers son
might win scholarship in a sec
ondary school emitting him to en-
ter, fees paid, some public school
at the age of 10. But cases where
in poor mans son wins his way
from a board school to the public
school are rare. 1t is not the COM
mon thing.
Thus, the poor children get only
an inferior education-a tutoring
which the fathers in the middle and
upper classes frown upon as being
too degrading for their children
The middle class children get as
good schooling as their parents can
pay for. If there is large family
and the income is limited, educa-
tional advantages likewise are linn
tied. To "well-heeled' families good
opportunities, though being every
thing but democratic, are available
for their children. They can choose
schools and tutors for their children

Co-education stops by the time
boys and girls are 9, no matter

Thus community does not regu-

anders along the bottomland until
he comes to the Kazmirski house
