Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The New Schoolmaster Let us imagine some conscientious parent paying a visit to his son, on the middle Saturday of term, at one of the greater Public Schools. He arrives at midday, and has half an hour's quiet stroll round the green pleasaunces and ancient buildings where perhaps he himself laid the foundations of 'a gentleman's character, ' and gained that smattering of rather antiquated knowledge of which he is now proud to have forgotten every word. Apart from a subdued hum in the neighbourhood of the class-rooms or the rumbling of a roller on the cricket pitch it is difficult to believe that this is the scene where some four hundred sturdy young beings pass their daily lives. But the clock strikes and the whole scene is transformed. Swarms of book-laden boys of all sizes stampede from the class-room doors, and among them, somewhat grimy and ink-soiled, nor easy to distinguish among so many equally toil-stained black coats, is the eager face of the pride of the family.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Story of a Great Schoolmaster I knew him personally only during the lam: eight years of his life; I met him for the first time in 1914, when I was proposing to send my sons to his school.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Reveries of a Schoolmaster When I am taking a stroll in the woods, as I delight to do in the autumn-time, laundering my soul with the gorgeous colors, the music of the rustling leaves, the majestic silences, and the sounds that are less and more than sounds, I of ten wonder, when I take one bypath, what experiences I might have had if I had taken the other. I'll never know, of course, but I keep on wondering. So it is with this Latin. I won der how much worse matters could or would have been if I had never studied it at all. As the old man said to the young fellow who consulted him as to getting married: You'll be sorry if you do, and sorry if you don't. I used to feel a sort of pity for my pupils to think how they would have had no education at all if they had not had me as their teacher; now I am beginning to wonder how much f urther along they might have been if they had had some other teacher. But probably most of the misfits in life are in the imagination, after all. We all think the huckleberries are more abundant on the other bush.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Day Dreams of a Schoolmaster This first lesson has turned back the dial hand of my days, and for a passing hour I am standing in the dawn of my own most dreary, weary boyhood. I was not quite seven and a half years old, when my dear Mother was presented with a free admission for myself, her eldest son, to the Grammar School of St. Edward. The offer was too valuable an one to admit of refusal. I was accordingly prepared for admission to my new home, by having my hair somewhat closely shorn, and by being clothed in a long, blue gown, not Of itself ungraceful, but opening in front so as to disclose the ridiculous spectacle of knee breeched, yellow-stockinged legs. After some laughter at my disguise, and much weeping at my banishment, I bade good bye to my dear Mother. We little thought at the time that school was to be my home for twelve long years.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Schoolmaster's Stories: For Boys and Girls Some years ago there was a party of forty or fifty boys who met at my house once a week, and to them I often told stories. They sat on the arms of my chair, hung themselves over the back of it, squatted by my feet on the floor, and leaned on one another's shoulders. I noticed that they were particularly eager for stories that had the smell of the frontier about them. I believe I have told in this book some of the very stories that used to amuse these good fellows, who got a great hold on my heart by listening to my stories and liking them. Dear boys I thought of dedicating the book to them, but they are all gone. Not dead I did not say that. But in five or six years every rascal of them has shot up into some thing like a young man. Some of them are raising little patches of faint-looking beard on their upper lips, and some of them are nearly six feet high. Think of dedicating a story book to sophomores, and store-clerks, and such like 1 It's a way boys have. Just when you think you've got a boy, he turns to a man. Boys and tadpoles are uncertain things. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
