 And now gentle reader, forget not that while schoolboy howlers are comIcal, they signify 8 pedagogical tragedy. So much of the teaching and the learning in our public schools is textbook teaching and the text book learning that generally speak ing, the teacher doesn't half teach and the learner doesn't half learn. But don't blame the teacher too se- vereIy, or the learner; they are both victims of big, cumbersome, inflext- bIe machtnery-the school system and of machine methods of educa- ton.
