Founded in 1782 by one Peter Masters, LL.D., a very good and learned pedagogue, it has for more than a hundred years maintained its high estate among boys' schools.
The hour of play was now over, and a bell summoned us all to school; I went in with the others and took my seat where Mr O'Gallagher had before desired me. As soon as all was silent, my pedagogue beckoned me to him. "Now, Mr Keene," said he, "you'll be so good as to lend me your ears that is, to listen while I talk to you a little bit. D'ye know how many roads there are to larning?
But he has not been fortunate in the invention of parallel absurdities in his Italian pedagogue to those which he may have remembered of some German prototype. He describes him as animated with a sort of insane aversion to the poet Dante, whom he decries on every occasion in order to exalt Petrarch.
Knowledge must exist somewhere before there be any pedagogue to impart it; and though, under the name of Truth, it hide in Ymir's Well, those whose souls are athirst therefore will assuredly find it, though denied all mechanical furtherance. Education is simply the acquirement of useful information, it matters not how nor where nor when.
As old Tom warbled out, so did the pedagogue gradually approach the chair of Mary; and as gradually entwine her waist with his own arm, his eyes twinkling brightly on her. Old Tom, who perceived it, had given me and Tom a wink, as he repeated the two last lines; and then we saw what was going on, we burst into an uncontrollable fit of laughter.
Besides that he was sensible of his merits and value as an assistant, which had greatly raised the credit of his little school, the ancient pedagogue, who had himself been tolerably educated, retained some taste for classical lore, and would gladly relax, after the drudgery of the school was over, by conning over a few pages of Horace or Juvenal with his usher.
"Oh, my father, you a Capuan and a man learned in the ways of women! It is pitiful this littleness of your knowledge. Come, tell me now, as to a pedagogue, what is it that leads a woman to all places, through all dangers?" "Surely, my child, it is love," said Calavius, vacantly.
'In consideration of this, Charteris, I shall er mitigate slightly the punishment I had intended to give you. Charteris murmured his gratification. 'But, continued the Head sternly, 'I cannot overlook the offence. I have my duty to consider. You will therefore write me er ten lines of Virgil by tomorrow evening, Charteris. 'Yes, sir. 'Latin and English, said the relentless pedagogue.
However feared and, accordingly, respected an English teacher may be by his scholars, he is nevertheless an ogre to most of them to the aristocrat a plebeian pedagogue to whom he must defer, just as, when he is a little older and sports a scarlet tunic, he must submit to the unlettered sergeant-major who teaches him his goose-step; to the rich parvenu more intolerable still, as the pruner of his obtrusive vulgarities of speech and manner, the index of his social inferiority and the standing menace to his innate rudeness, that is only intensified by his consciousness of wealth; to the poor man's son essentially a "schoolmaster" a wielder of the ferule and a bloodless automaton, to whom, as Southey wrote,
Kullak, stern old pedagogue, divides these dances into two groups, the first dedicated to "Terpsichore," the second a frame for moods. Chopin admitted that he was unable to play valses in the Viennese fashion, yet he has contrived to rival Strauss in his own genre.
