AN HISTORIC SCHOOL.
QUEEN ELIZABETH’S PATENT. Owing to the inadequate accommodation for modern needs, the historic Barnet Grammar School for Boys, which four years ago celebrated its 350th anniversary, is to come to an end. The school was granted a patent by Queen Elizabeth in. 1753. The governors placed the position before the Hertfordshire County Council, whose Education Committee has now resolved that the old school shall be superseded by a new county school, to cost £50,000, to be erected, owned, and maintained by the County Council, hut managed by a specially appointed body of governors, for whom articles of government are to be prepared. The existing governors are recommended to apply to the Board of Education to approve a scheme for the disposal of the old school building, but regarding the historic Tudor Hall, which for three and a-fialF centimes has been the main part of the school, the hope is expressed that it will oe preserved for some educational or other public purpose.
