Lincoln's Inn.—Choristers educated, but not boarded.
Norwich Cathedral.—No boarding school.
Carlisle Cathedral.—No boarding school.
Rochester Cathedral.—Boys live at home, and attend Cathedral School, which is not especially for choristers.
Liverpool Cathedral.—No boarding school.
Southwell Minster.—No boarding school.
St. Alban's Cathedral.—No boarding school.
From these particulars it will be gathered that the prevailing custom is for chorister boys to live at home and give their voices in return for free education. The various boarding schools described differ much in the terms they offer, and it may be said generally that only an exceptionally good voice and a personal introduction are likely to succeed in those cases where free board and education are given. The number of candidates is so large that selection is difficult.
