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 Memories of a Great Schoolmaster (Dr. Henry a Coit) These "Memories" have been printed with the desire of recalling an "old boy's" impressions of the personality of one around whom grew a great school, and whose honored name is among the cherished possessions of nearly three generations of St. Paul's men. No memory of any characteristic word or act has been withheld, though the apparent inconsistencies of Dr. Coit's character were as marked and puzzling as those of other great men. Let it be remembered, moreover, that the subject of this memoir, owing to his comparatively secluded life, experienced little of the leveling process that naturally falls to the lot of most men.

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.

Excerpt from A Schoolmaster of the Great City I remember sitting with the family and the neigh bours' families about the fireplace, while father, night after night, told us stories of the Knights of the Crusades or recounted the glories of the heroes of proud Italy. How he could tell a story! His voice was strong, and soft, and soothing, and he had just sufficient power of exaggeration to increase the attractiveness of the tale. We could see the soldiers he told us about pass 'before us in all their struggles and sor rows and triumphs. Back and forth he marched them into Asia Minor, across Sicily, and into the castles of France, Germany and England. We lis tened eagerly and came back each night ready to be thrilled and inspired again by the spirit of the good and the great.

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 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 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 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."
