I do not think that that follows. As I said, we do not seek to attract pupils from secondary schools, but the career of a boy messenger is by no means a blind-alley occupation, and men have risen from that rank to very high positions in the Post Office. If everybody is agreeable to boys or girls taking up that career, I do not think it would be proper for the Post Office to refuse to consider them as candidates simply because they had been to secondary schools.
