Equality of opportunity is a necessity if England is to develop the latent talent of all her children so that each shall servo to the best of his -ability. This scholarship won by a lad who not long ago could have looked to no future •outside the ranks of manual labor is on© of many recent signs of the breaking down of 'banners, the very existence of which is fast becoming an anomaly.
