By Being So Long In The Lowest Form [at Harrow] I Gained An Immense Advantage Over The Cleverer Boys. . . . I Got Into My Bones The Essential Structure Of The Ordinary British Sentence - Which Is A Noble Thing. Naturally I Am Biased In Favor Of Boys Learning English; I Would Make Them All Learn English: And Then I Would Let The Clever Ones Learn Latin As An Honor, And Greek As A Treat.
