To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
' He regarded it as one of the most unfortunate results of the present system of army entrance that it deprived future officers of this most valuable part of a public school training. In the selection of prefects he considered nothing but character and governing power, and utterly disapproved of the common public school plan of using the prefectorial system for the aggrandisement of scholarship. Discipline, chastity, manliness, mercy were interests, in his opinion, too grave to be subordinated ...to intellectual considerations. Mere scholarship affiDrded no stronger presumption than mere athletic prowess that a boy should be able to govern others. In the choice of prefects, therefore, he disregarded both physical and intellectual accomplishments, except in so far as they contributed to the capacity he was in search of, and it was by no means uncommon for an eminent athlete, or a brilliant scholar, to have no part in the prefectorial government of the School. It was to be expected that Loretto prefects, being thus appointed solely for govern- ing power, should be more efficient than an ordinary public school Sixth, which is commonly selected partly for other attributes.
