October 1954 The Death Of A School One of the first

October 1954 The Death Of A School One of the first results of the new Bantu Act in South Africa is that one of Africa's most famous schools St. Peter's, Johannesburg, has announced that it will be forced to close down in two years time. The Eton of South Africa as St. Peter's has been called, has had an astonishing record of scholarship achievement in its 32 years. But the Community of Resurrection, who run the school, feel that as a matter of principle they cannot carry on the school with the syllabus and control demanded by the new Act.
