Présentation de l'éditeur
The life of a beloved and venerated teacher has peculiar claims for commemoration. Even when his fame has been secured by his writings or his services, much of his best work simply lives in the character of the pupils he has trained. In thus moulding character, he touches and shapes the most vital interests of society. He becomes a power behind the throne. The world may admire the philosophical writings of Plato more than his personal reminiscences of Socrates. But if we were compelled to choose between these and the dreamy speculations in some of his treatises, we should not hesitate to take his grateful record of the life of the great Grecian teacher, and give up his brilliant speculations in philosophy. Dr. Arnold of Rugby has just claims for remembrance as a historical scholar. It is not these, however, by which he will chiefly Hve in the grateful estimation of his countrymen. His fame will be perpetuated rather as the great educator, who more than any man of his age lifted the high vocation of the teacher into its deserved prominence.

Présentation de l'éditeur
This book was originally published prior to 1923, and represents a reproduction of an important historical work, maintaining the same format as the original work. While some publishers have opted to apply OCR (optical character recognition) technology to the process, we believe this leads to sub-optimal results (frequent typographical errors, strange characters and confusing formatting) and does not adequately preserve the historical character of the original artifact. We believe this work is culturally important in its original archival form. While we strive to adequately clean and digitally enhance the original work, there are occasionally instances where imperfections such as blurred or missing pages, poor pictures or errant marks may have been introduced due to either the quality of the original work or the scanning process itself. Despite these occasional imperfections, we have brought it back into print as part of our ongoing global book preservation commitment, providing customers with access to the best possible historical reprints. We appreciate your understanding of these occasional imperfections, and sincerely hope you enjoy seeing the book in a format as close as possible to that intended by the original publisher.
