Puritan Board Doctor
In those days, a boy on the classical side officially did almost nothing but classics. I think this was wise; the greatest service we can do to education to-day is to teach fewer subjects. No one has time to do more than a very few things well, before he is twenty and, when we force a boy to be a mediocrity in a dozen subjects, we destroy his standards, perhaps for life.
