CECIL RHODES’ SCHOOL
Bishops Stortsford Grammar School, where Cecil Rhodes learned his lessons, has been closed after 350 years. It has been proposed to endow the old school and reopen it as a memorial to him. Had Cecil Rhodes been alive he would have seen that his old school should not cease. It seems right and just that such a memorial should be raised to one who did so much to endow and benefit the youth of Greater Britain, America, and Germany,
Cecil Rhodes was not one of those who have no memorial. He raised a memorial for himself, writing his name large, in Rhodesia and leaving to posterity the idea of a United South Africa. This was his own doing. The least posterity can do for him is to raise a worthy memorial to him in his birthplace.
