Show The Consoling Volume. There was a backward student at Balliol who, for failure to pass un examination ex-amination in Greek, was "sent down." His mother went to see the master. Dr. Jowett, and explained to him what an excellent lad her son was. "It Is a hard experience for him, this disgrace," dis-grace," said the old lady; "but he will have the consolation of religion, and there is always one book to which he can turn." Jowett eyed her for a moment mo-ment and then answered: "Yes. madam; ma-dam; the Greek grammar. Good morning." |
