[To sae EDITOR OF THE "SPECTATOR."] Stn,—The writer of the

article on " The Position of Assistant- Masters in the Public Schools of England" does not appear to be aware that the Board of Education intends to bring under the new Pension Scheme all Public School Masters who are in schools which either provide no pensions or whose pensions are inadequate. The quid pro quo will be inspection of a thoroughly efficient and helpful character. I believe no further demands have as yet been formulated by the Board.—I am, Sir, &a, J. P. HOWARD (Mill Hill).
