SIR,—Surely Mr. Whitworth exaggerates when he says that " rising

fees offer no serious obstacle to the great demand." The enlarged middle- class, of which he speaks, within the income range of £1,000 to £2,500, may be able to save enough to cover the school fees of one child. But for two or more it must be almost impossible with today's taxation and

the rising cost of living.—Yours faithfully, M. GATEHOUSE. Flat 3, West House, Godalming.
