their memories. Many would write about their schooldays, and – unsurprisingly,
perhaps – they often recalled their headmasters and the punishments they dished
out.

That’s a great picture. Rare to see a boy who can touch his toes and keep his legs straight. But the collection of canes, though initially impressive, are rather too thick on closer inspection.
