It must not be supposed that in the midst of the excitement of School politics the intellectual side of the Fellsgarth juniors, life was being quite neglected.
On the contrary, they complained that so far from being neglected it was rather overdone.
The Classic juniors, for instance, suffered many things at the hands of the cheerful Mr Stratton, who really worked hard to instil into their opening minds some rudiments of those studies from which their side took its name.

He took pains to explain not only when a thing was wrong, but why; and, unlike some of his calling, he devoted his chief attention to his most backward boys.

This was his great offence in the eyes of D'Arcy and Wally and some of their fraternity, because under the arrangement they came in for the special attention alluded to.
"That kid," said Wally, one day, _sotto voce_, as class was proceeding, "has no more idea of teaching than my hat.

We don't get a chance to _do_ things ourselves, with him always messing about and looking over.
It's rude to look over.
