It is significant that none of the sparrows has ever been found in the Gymnasium except during the periods of inquisition. They are doubtless imported for the occasion by the sprightly overseer to tantalize the troubled multitude with a bright vision of liberty. It is all rather...
...during the three years. It is certain that unless at least one or two scholarships are available, the group will be pitifully small in proportion to its potential value.

It is precisely the "deep personal intimacy" that Dr. Drury mentioned as one of the virtues of the private school, however, that justifies the tutorial system, and, to a lesser degree, the small class. Doubtless the learning that can be summarized in outlines and tested by surveys can be equally well delivered to larger groups, but the deeper, more permament, more valuable influence that is the essence of education depends upon personal contact and the interchange of ideas between teacher and pupil.
