SCHOOL LETTER. : seems that no sooner have we laid down our editorial pen than we have to take it up again. The term is now drawing to its close, and we have played most of our matches. We have not had a very unsuccessful season, having four victories to record : —two over Ripon G.S., one over Wakefield G.S., and the other over Richmond G.S. ; and we drew with the Old Boys and the Leodiensian F.C. We encountered two crushing defeats at the hands of Durham, and were also badly beaten by Leeds G.S. We have been unlucky in our number of casualties, and only once have we had a full team. We greatly sympathise with G. A. Fisher, who now has had both his shoulders put out at
I
football. We have had several very interesting lectures this term, and two concerts, in the second of which the newly formed Orchestra gave their first performance ; on the excellence of which we heartily congratulate both Mr. Grigson, their instructor, and themselves. Before again laying down the editorial pen we should like to draw your attention to a poem in one of our contemporaries, written by a boy who was only 15 years old. If boys of other schools can contribute in this way to their School Magazine, why do not the boys at St. Peter's contribute to their's ? It is not that the majority of human beings dislike to commit their thoughts to writing. Take for example the Juvenile column in many monthly magazines ; numberless are the letters " Dear Mr. Editor," has from communicative youth of all ages.
