Billett, for instance," and Oliver felt a little shudder of terror go through him for a moment at the way she said it. But she laughed again. "I shouldn't worry. And besides, you're blighted, aren't you? and they're unteachable till they recover. Well. "Oh, yes, there was something else I meant to be serious about. Sargent said something about our disappearing, and all that.
Qualification exacts a little exertion, as evidence of good faith, and it is designed to weed out the duller dull and many of the base. Our schooling period ends now about fourteen, and a small number of boys and girls about three per cent. are set aside then as unteachable, as, in fact, nearly idiotic; the rest go on to a college or upper school."

To hold the same views at forty as we held at twenty is to have been stupefied for a score of years, and take rank, not as a prophet, but as an unteachable brat, well birched, and none the wiser. It is as if a ship captain should sail to India from the Port of London; and having brought a chart of the Thames on deck at his first setting out, should obstinately use no other for the whole voyage.
