O knihe

Excerpt from The Eton Abuses Considered: In a Letter Addressed to the Author of Some Remarks on the Present Studies and Management of Eton School

The author of the Reply admits, that this system of exacting attendance upon Divine Wor ship will allow of no defence; and yet he brings forward, as an alleviating circumstance, that the same system is still acted upon at other Collegiate foundations. Now, if the system is bad, (and bad he confesses it to be), I can discover no reason why Eton should not take the lead in setting a better example. She stands high among our Collegiate Institutions - her authority is likely to be in¿u ential - and the system is allowed to be permcmus, - why then should she not take the lead? I am sure that it would have its effect.

I have now done with the author of the Reply It may be a matter of wonder. To many that the collective talent of the Provost, vice-provost, Fellows, and Masters of Eton, should have been inadequate to produce more effective arguments, with which to arm their champion for the contest. I will, however, candidly confess that the ineffi ciency of their defence is not so much in couse quence of the want of ability in their literary Dymoke, as to the paucity and barrenness of the facts with which they have supplied him.
