A Modern Hannibal

Sir,—i enclose a cutting taken from your issue of May 2 which I feel must have escaped your editorial eye, and which you might possibly wish to correct. The responsibility for so glaring an error lies, of course, with Reuter’s Harrogate correspondent, and yet it seems rather painful that “The Press” should continue in it. Painful to me, at any rate. Dp you know that boys and girls can now leave school without having “done” any history at all? It produces a sort of tadpole mentality, however able the child may be.—Yours, etc.,

F.B. [The Reuter correspondent marched Hannibal across the Alps in the wrong direction. The error is regretted.—Ed., “The Press.”]
