I now turn to the objection that one master can
live more attention to one pupil. In the first place
there is nothing to prevent the principle of “one
[p. 45]
teacher, one boy” being combined with school
education. And even if such a combination should
prove impossible, I should still prefer the broad
daylight of a respectable school to the solitude and
obscurity of a private education. For all the best
teachers pride themselves on having a large number
of pupils and think themselves worthy of a bigger
audience.
