Description
Excerpt from Arms and the Boy: Military Training in Schools and Colleges; Its Value in Peace and Its Importance in War With Many Practical Suggestions for the Course of Training and With Brief Descriptions of the Most Successful Systems Now in Operation
Of all callings, it has sometimes seemed to me that that of the headmaster of a secondary school for boys is at once the most responsible and the most delightful; delightful because the contact there is with the spirit of youth as it is beginning to measure itself against the task of life, and responsible be cause the problem is so subtle, requires so much understanding of personal variation and difierence, and also because of the fact that a mistake made with a boy is so much more serious than a mistake made with a man.
