Description
Excerpt from Education: Intellectual, Moral, and Physical
Ralston, our tutor, was a good scholar after the fashion Of the day, and famous for Latin verse; but he was essentially a commonplace don. ''stephen major,'' he once said to my brother, ''if you do not take more pains, how can you ever expect to write good longs and shorts? If you do not write good longs and shorts, how can you ever be a man of taste? If you are not a man of taste, how can you ever hope to be of use in the world?''
