Britain Begins School Reform in Poor Area
Poor boys from London's east end will attend a new preparatory school to enter public schools without embarrassment. The program, part of Churchill's policy to widen privileges, is run by Oxford House Bethnal Green and uses a 17th century farm house near Donalog in Montgomeryshire. The aim is to bridge class gaps by speech, manners, and background. Initial costs will restrict intake to keep numbers small.
