Is it possible to give a stranger some idea of the country life of England - of those enjoyments which enter so deeply into the nature of our islander? Perhaps ¬ but with the help of the books named above, and selected from the more recent works bearing on our subject, we propose to try. Let us begin at the beginning. When a French parent has a son to educate, he sends him to a "college" in a town. An English paterfamilias, if he can afford it, sends his boy to Eton or Harrow, or, if he cannot stand the expense, he seeks out some minor rural school, where there are good masters and also good playing fields and a river to row on. And each has his reward. The French school-boy is a pretty-behaved young gentleman. The Jesuits make fair classical scholars still, though not so good as of old; and an average French educated boy can write his own language, and speak whole sentences grammatically - accomplishments which fall only to the favoured few in England.
