FOR EVER ENGLAND.
There are 62 British children at Ypres. Until the other day they had t« attend Belgian schools, where they learned little or nothing of the history of their own country or its literature, • The fathers of these children are the gardeners who tend the graves of the hundreds of British soldiers near Ypres. The gardeners are doing a worl we all desire to be done. We cannot let their children suffer. Etonians decided to give these children an' English school, and they collected £2000 to start It. with a promise of a further £200 every year toward the upkeep. The L.C.C. has lent two teachers, Mr. and Mrs. Henry Morris. Other public schools are invited to h«lp, and we hope they will. Surely it is a duty to keep up an English school where so great a tract of soil is for ever' England..
