I don't know whether Manchester Grammar School sends all its

bright boys to Cambridge. I make no objection to that if it is so. But the remarkable success of M.G.S. boys this year, as so often before, in the matter of entrance scholarships. at Cambridge deserves at least passing notice. They have obtained 13 scholarships and two exhibitions. Next on the list comes Clifton, with six and five respectively. One other point is worth noting. The four schools at the head of the list, Manchester, Clifton, St. Paul's and Dulwich—are all mainly or entirely day-schdols. There may possibly be some- signi- ficance in this; more probably it is mere chance. * *
