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.

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.

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 Schoolmaster Ascham, at eighteen, newly-made Bachelor of Arts, had spoken among his companions against the Pope. How the good Master of the College then joined an official favour to a private kindness, Ascham tells in his Schoolmaster, as may be seen on pages 155 - 157 of this edition. Ascham commenced m.a. On the 29th of June, 1537, when in his twenty-first year, and in the following spring he paid a visit to his parents, whom he had not seen during the seven years of Cambridge study towards graduation. He lectured on Greek at St. John's College, and also for the University, and for two years, from the end of 1539, he was Mathematical Lecturer to the University.

Excerpt from The Hoosier Schoolmaster: A Novel The hoosier school-master was written and printed in the autumn of 1871. It is therefore now about twenty-one years old, and the publishers propose to mark its coming of age by issuing a li braty edition. I avail myself of the occasion to make some needed revisions, and to preface the new edition with an account of the origin and ad ventures of the book. If I should Seem to betray unbecoming pride in speaking of a story that has passed into several languages and maintained an undiminished popularity for more than a Score of years, I count on receiving the indulgence com monly granted to paternal vanity when cele brating the majority of a first-born. With all its faults on its head, this little tale has become a clas sic, in the bookseller's sense at least; and a public that has Shown so constant a partiality for it has a right to feel some curiosity regarding its history.

Excerpt from Learning to Be a Schoolmaster Finally the day of graduation arrived. I was ready to go out into the world with a college diploma, but was unprepared for a definite posi tion. My false aspirations had failed, and I was looking hopelessly about for something to do that would save my pride. I must not accept just a mere job, and to escape that humiliation I became a teacher. It certainly was not a very creditable manner for a young man to enter a profession, to say nothing of the doubtful compliment of such an entry to the teaching profession. Such a confession.

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.
