Excerpt from The New Schoolmaster

So paterfamilias is contented. Ought he to be How often has he given a real thought to the main business for which a boy is supposed to go to school i - what he learns, and with what real power of thought and understanding and mental equipment for after life he is being furnished. He is more than contented with the boy's moral tone, so far as he can discern it or his House master report on it. He knows that he is acquiring a healthy, breezy tempera ment, a large measure of self - control, a respect for authority, or is at least learning the lesson to obey; that, if he began a bit wild, he is being licked into shape that he is excelling in games, and games will make him manly and strong.

So, cheered by all these good qualities in his son, by no means superficial, but appearing more readily on the surface than the defects, he not unnaturally forgets to think of the other questions.
