Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from A Public School in War Time The Public Schools have been for many years now the object of much strange criticism, the greater part of which has run in two main channels: the most readable and undoubtedly the most just being that of the great novelists of our time who, themselves unhappy at school just as they are miserable in the equally imperfect adult world, have given full rein to their spleen in uncontrollable abuse. The other school of critics has been (unwittingly) more damning: it consists of those successful clergymen, dons, and schoolmasters who have never had reason to doubt that all was for the best in the best of all possible worlds: they had no vivid sensibilities nor any tendency to stray from the normal way of the average, unimaginative man of the world; their schooldays were happy; they have been obsessed by no doubts; they thank God that they have no bees in their bonnets, and as a thank-offering they write fulsome panegyrics of their own old schools that make the lover of truth and the educational idealist fume with wrath.
