SCHOOLS 



charity trustees and the separate office of usher, placed all boys on an 

 equality in respect of fees, at the rate of 5 to 10 a year at the 

 governors' discretion, and made the headmaster dismissible at pleasure 

 and the other masters dismissible by him. In 1890 there were seventy 

 boys in the school paying 8 a year, of whom one-tenth were boarders. 

 The teaching of science had been introduced, but it was not until 1898 

 that a physical laboratory was erected with the assistance of grants of 

 300 from the county council of Hampshire, and ,105 from the town 

 council of Basingstoke. In 1900 the boys numbered eighty-seven. The 

 school still contributes scholars to the universities ; and as a ' modern ' 

 school, laying stress on physical science and modern languages as well as 

 classics, is more flourishing than it has ever been.

HARTLEY UNIVERSITY COLLEGE, SOUTHAMPTON 



The education of the county higher than secondary is represented 

 by the Hartley University College at Southampton. This institution 

 owes its foundation to Henry Robinson Hartley, who had inherited in 

 1800 a fortune made in the Southampton wine trade by his father Henry 

 Hartley, an emigrant from Yorkshire. Soon after he had come into his

 corporation of Southampton to be used ' for the study and advancement 

 of the sciences of natural history, astronomy, antiquities and classical 

 and Oriental learning in the town.' The will was disputed, but after a
