LONG ODDS.
Leadership in Great Britain is recruited from the 3 per cent, of people who have been educated in public schools. Of 21 Cabinet Ministers, 20 went to a Public School. Of 56 Bishops, 52 went to a Public School. Of 210 highly placed Civil Servants, 152 went to a Public School. Of 156 Judges, 122 went to a Public School. So that the odds against an elementary school-boy getting into one of the “ reserved seats ” are 1,000 to 1.
