Abstract
THE April number of the Stoicrepresents, not the “famed Athenian Porch”, but Stowe School, which, starting at one of the great houses which flourished in the eighteenth century, has long since won its way to recognition on a par with older foundations. The school magazine is one of the best we have seen, including literary matter as well as the usual records of activities. Stowe is now responsible for two London clubs for boys. It produces its own films, which have dealt with several classes of animals and plant-life, while the Natural History Society, started last year, keeps a journal of work done which is well spoken of. The school evidently enjoys many things besides the normal curriculum. The illustrations make a good show and include a lively “Decorated Black-out Screen” designed by a young artist.
