Extract

I have just received my latest transfusion of fresh ideas. What teacher can be enthusiastic day after day, year after year, without pausing to renew his strength, revitalise and remotivate himself? We need occasionally to be fired by contact with better minds than our own, to observe excellent teaching and thinking to remind ourselves of what they are like. For such excellence is the ideal we all should seek. It is so easy to have one’s spark attenuated year by year by the dull monotony of ritual in a school’s monastic life—so that one hardly notices.
