Abstract
PERHAPS you will kindly allow me once more to correct your correspondent. Clifton College was not in advance of Rugby, either in the date, or in the extent, of the teaching of science, but closely followed Rugby in both. Your corresoondent gave 1867 as the date for the general introduction of Science for the whole school at Clifton. I have before me the lists of the Rugby classes in 1866. Out of 48 Sixth Form boys 24 learned science; of 133 Fifth Form, 60; of 155 Upper Middles, 155; of 135 Lower Middles, 135; of 30 Lower School, none. Clifton College never exceeded this proportion.
