School

"One of the other songs we sang with gusto (in addition to the ACS Song) went like this: Arithmetic and Algebra, Geometrry and Greek. Multiplication tables three times a week. Work, work, work, they never give us a rest. Of course we jolly well hate it all, but we'll do out best!"

"Recently a teacher asked some of his bring young students what they thought their school was. We understand that their tacit answer is that a school is a recreation club for boys after their strenuous work at home."
"Another bright student of the lower class says that a ruler is used more for ruling the class than for ruling lines - since canes went out of fashion."
"Our teacher who says that 'silence is golden' and 'an empty Bessel makes the most sound' sometimes fails to see why we do not answer his questions."
