Description
The Public School canvas is certainly limited. There could be nothing duller than a school novel true to life. Conversation is as restricted among boys as among clerks, and by reason of school slang rather less intelligible. Against the general background the precocious boy seems more brilliant than he is and less popular than he deserves. School life can be totally monotonous and the train of events devoid of plot. Breakage of rules affords perpetual incident and expulsion the occasional tragedy. The only conversation of literary interest is either priggish or Rabelaisian.
