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 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 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 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 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 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 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.

Excerpt from Locke Amsden: Or the Schoolmaster, a Tale Our story, contrary perhaps to fashionable precedent, opens at a common farm-house, situated on one of the principal roads leading through the interior of the northerly portion of the Union. It was near the middle of the day, in that part of the spring season when the rough and chill features of winter are becoming so equally blended with the soft and mild ones of summer upon the face of nature, that we feel at loss in deciding whether the characteristics of the one or the other most prevail. The hills were mostly bare, but their appearance was not that of summer; and the tempted eye turned away unsatisfied from the cheerless prospect which their dreary and frost-blackened sides presented. The levels, on the other hand, were still covered with snow; and yet their aspect was not that of winter. Clumps of willows, scattered along the hedges, or around the waste-places of the meadows, were white with the starting buds or blossoms of spring. The old white mantle of the frost-king was also becoming sadly dingy and tattered. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
