Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from Teaching as a Career for University Men
He will be eager enough about school games, and will be glad if he himself is an athlete, and able to take his share in the cricket-field; but all the while his thoughts will be running in a deeper groove. He will know that the value of school games is at least doubled by their being made at the same time an element in discipline and morals; and he will be keenly alive to the dangers of what is called athleticism, of the excessive devotion to idle play in every rank of English society, but most of all among men who have been educated in the great public schools. He will, in fact, undertake the employ ment of teaching with the definite purpose of assisting to raise the tone of society in the generation that is coming, upon whom he will lay his hand in the world of school, before they play their part in the world outside.
