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 often 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 further 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.

Reveries of a Schoolmaster by Francis B. (Francis Bail) Pearson CHAPTER I IN MEDIAS RES I am rather glad now that I took a little dip (one could scarce call it a baptism) into the Latin, and especially into Horace, for that good soul gave me the expression in medias res. That is a forceful expression, right to the heart of things, and applies equally well to the writing of a composition or the eating of a watermelon. Those who have crossed the Channel, from Folkstone to Boulogne, know that the stanch little ship Invicta had scarcely left dock when they were in medias res. They were conscious of it, too, if indeed they were conscious of anything not strictly personal to themselves. This expression admits us at once to the light and warmth (if such there be) of the inner temple nor keeps us shivering out in the vestibule. Writers of biography are wont to keep us waiting too long for happenings that are really worth our while. They tell us that some one was born at such a time, as if that were really important. Why, anybody can be born, but it requires some years to determine whether his being born was a matter of importance either to himself or to others. When I write my biographical sketch of William Shakespeare I shall say that in a certain year he wrote "Hamlet," which fact clearly justified his being born so many years earlier. We are delighted to publish this classic book as part of our extensive Classic Library collection. Many of the books in our collection have been out of print for decades, and therefore have not been accessible to the general public. The aim of our publishing program is to facilitate rapid access to this vast reservoir of literature, and our view is that this is a significant literary work, which deserves to be brought back into print after many decades. The contents of the vast majority of titles in the Classic Library have been scanned from the original works. To ensure a high quality product, each title has been meticulously hand curated by our staff. Our philosophy has been guided by a desire to provide the reader with a book that is as close as possible to ownership of the original work. We hope that you will enjoy this wonderful classic work, and that for you it becomes an enriching experience.

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. But our thoughts and interests drew us very close to one another, I never missed an opportunity of meeting and talking to him, and I was the last person he Spoke to before his sudden death. He was sixty-six years of age when he died. Those last eight years were certainly the richest and most productive of his whole career.

The thoughts and musings in "Reveries of a Schoolmaster" are the creation of American educator Francis B. Pearson, who spent a large portion of his life working as a teacher and a school administrator. The book is still read and studied today. The book's essays cover a range of topics related to education and the role of teachers in society. Pearson takes into account his own experiences as a teacher and an administrator in addition to talking on more general subjects like the objectives of education, the nature of learning, and the challenges encountered by teachers and schools. Pearson emphasizes the importance of the teacher-student relationship and the teacher's responsibility in inspiring and aiding students in realizing their full potential throughout the whole book. Along with putting a focus on academic achievement, he also makes a case for a more comprehensive approach to education. In addition to schooling, Pearson provides his opinions on a broad variety of topics, including literature, the natural world, and spirituality. Sharp observational skills and a deep appreciation for the complexity and beauty of our surroundings are characteristics of his work. The collection of essays "Reveries of a Schoolmaster" is thought-provoking and insightful, and it continues to be helpful and motivating for educators and students today. Pearson's writing serves as a poignant reminder of the transformative potential of education, and readers continue to be inspired by his reflections on the nature of education and the teacher's role in helping pupils build their minds.

Excerpt from Day Dreams of a Schoolmaster Thompson was teaching the Classics at Edinburgh Academy, and his soul appears to have revolted at the dreary waste of effort involved in the methods of teaching usually employed at that time. This is the theme of his "Day-dreams," and reading between the lines we can see that his endeavours to bring about reforms were not unattended with difficulty. Many years later he expressed doubt as to whether he had not laid irreverent hands upon ancient forms and time-honoured traditions, but whatever the value of the book to the teacher, as such, to the layman fortunate enough to discover it, it has been a source of unalloyed delight. D'Arcy Thompson was dubbed an unsuccessful schoolmaster. No doubt he was in advance of his time, but two lads who rose to eminence in literature were in his class at the Academy - Robert Louis Stevenson and Andrew Lang - and who shall say how much these men owed to his individuality. Mr. Lang has written in "Adventures Among Books" "One can never say how much one owes to a schoolmaster who was a friend of literature, who kept a houseful of books, and who was himself a graceful scholar and an author, while he chose to write, of poetic and humourous genius."

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.
