In your opinion, what are the lessons learned from

school life?

Whether one’s school-days are happy or the

reverse, depends a good deal on the character of

the school in which one’s lot in cast; for schools

are of all kinds good, bad and indifferent But

most schools nowadays are respectable, and

some are very good; and most of us look back

upon our school life as, on the whole, a happy

time Of course, a small boy who first goes to

school (especially if it is a boarding-school) does

not at the beginning feel very happy He is

surrounded by unfamiliar faces and the life is very

different from what he was used to at home, and

he feels lost and homesick, and badly wants his

mother But he soon settles down; and when he

gets used to the new conditions, he will feel

comfortable and happy enough

Of course, there are draw backs, and even

dangers in school life There are always back

sheep in every flock A boy sometimes gets led

away into bad habits by vicious companions And

when the discipline is over-strict and the masters

unsympathetic, a sensitive boy may suffer much

But on the whole the influences of school life are

healthy and good

For one thing, the strict discipline of a school has

a healthy effect upon growing boys At home a

boy is too often coddled and allowed too much of

his own way; but at school he has to obey And

there he learns the good old useful virtues of

punctuality, regular method, the best use of time,

diligence, and prompt obedience Boys may not

like these; but they are thankful for the lessons

afterwards, when they become men

Then a boy cannot live in a community of boys

without, as we say, getting the rough angles

knocked off Boys in their social life out of class

and in the hostels discipline each other A

schoolboy soon gets such faults as conceit,

priggishness, cowardice, meanness, and

unsportsmanlike behavior, knocked out of him by

the ridicule, criticism, and even rough treatment of

his companions

It is often at school that life-friendship are made

Boys soon get to know one another, and form fast

friendship, that in after life are a great joy and

source of strength to them

The school games also develop a lad’s manly

qualities, and not only make him physically strong,

but also teach him “esprit-de-corps” and the true

spirit of sportsmanship

So when school-days are over, a boy feels

miserable and really regrets as he has to leave

the school he joined
