It is characteristic of Englishmen to despise learning and to regard a student's life as wasted. It is, indeed, amazing that a nation which considers (rightly) games a main part of a youth's existence, which is quite willing to see its upper class devote their whole time to amusement, which honours nothing .so much as a man who hunts or shoots till he is 80, should fail to see that even a student has a justification in the world.—The Pilot. Prior to the original Coronation date, we heard a good deal of the financial strain which the preparation for it was involving in the cases of impecunious peers, and people of other ranks. As matters have fallen out, the pecuniary burden is even greater than was estimated, and not a few will have to economise rigidly for three or four years to come in order to recover from the unprecedented expense to which they have been put this year.—Leeds Mercury.
