After Many Days: A Schoolmaster's Memories

Robert Hale Ltd, London, 1937. Third Impression. Hardcover (Original Cloth). Good Condition/Good. Public Schools have long served as the target against which the arrows of certain critics of our educational system have been directed. All kinds of eulogies and condemnations have been uttered for and against them, some well-informed, others very much the opposite. This book contains the reminiscences of a man who probably knows as much about Public Schools as any living person. Mr. Fletcher's brilliant career began at Rossall and Balliol, where he was a distinguished classical scholar. On going down, he became an assistant master at Rugby; in 1903 he was appointed Master of Marlborough and in 1911 he became Headmaster of Charterhouse, which post he held until 1936. Through the difficult period of the War and the years of unrest that followed, Mr. Fletcher played an important part in the moulding of the destinies of thousands of young men. His views and experiences will prove fascinating reading not only to those who have known him at Rugby, Marlborough and Charterhouse, but also to all who are interested in the past, present and future of our Public Schools.
