THE BREAK-UP
j ’HE principal of a Wellington College, believing that school break-ups should be jolly sort of affairs, made so short a speech that it could be called no speech at all. He did not even tell of how well the school had done during the year; he even eschewed a dissertation on pedagogics; he got along quite nicely without slanging the educational system under which he worked. All he did was to say how splendid it was to have a break-up. The principal’s name who made this departure is Mr. W. H. Stevens. What a wonderful insight has this teacher into the minds of the small boys who wait long and patiently for the reports to reach their ultimate conclusion. Perhaps he has nol forgotten how he felt at break-ups when he was a boy.
