A propos du livre

Présentation de l'éditeur

Excerpt from The Best Foot Forward: And Other Stories

When the boys of Second Academic discovered a new teacher at the desk, they were surprised and bewildered. No wonder they looked at each other with uneasy and inquiring glances; but two weeks of the school-year had passed and all had been going as merry as a marriage bell. What could have happened?

This is what they learned later in the day.

Mr. Phillips had been suddenly called away to a new field of labor; Mr. Phillips, who with much scattering of sunshine had brought them through the class of Third Academic; and who had succeeded in making the past two weeks of the new school-year so bright and pleasant.
