The salary, though a moderate one not by a third equal to salaries in English schools of the same grade was yet reasonable; and when it is added that it was a day-school; that there was held only one session of five hours, with a roomy interval for lunch, gymnastics and music; that each teacher had a large, well-furnished and cleanly-kept room to himself a luxury which is rare in the best English schools; that each department was under the charge of a separate teacher, who was never required to step out of his own special walk another school-virtue not common in English schools; that the principal fulfilled my ideal of a calm, judicious and discriminating headmaster, it is no wonder that I began to congratulate myself upon having at last fallen upon a school that furnished a combination of what I consider the best features of both the English and Scotch schools, to the exclusion of all that is detestable and soul-harassing in either.
