By Being So Long In The Lowest Form [at Harrow] I Gained An Immense Advantage Over The Cleverer Boys. . . . I Got Into My Bones The Essential Structure Of The Ordinary British Sentence - Which Is A Noble Thing. Naturally I Am Biased In Favor Of Boys Learning English; I Would Make Them All Learn English: And Then I Would Let The Clever Ones Learn Latin As An Honor, And Greek As A Treat.

By Being So Long In The Lowest

By Being So Long In The Lowest Form [at Harrow] I Gained An Immense Advantage Over The Cleverer Boys. . . . I Got Into My Bones The Essential Structure Of The Ordinary British Sentence - Which Is A Noble Thing. Naturally I Am Biased In Favor Of Boys Learning English; I Would Make Them All Learn English: And Then I Would Let The Clever Ones Learn Latin As An Honor, And Greek As A Treat.

The Gratitude Of Every Home In Our Island, In Our Empire, And Indeed Throughout The World, Except In The Abodes Of The Guilty, Goes Out To The British Airmen Who, Undaunted By Odds, Unwearied In Their Constant Challenge And Mortal Danger, Are Turning The Tide Of The World War By Their Prowess And By Their Devotion. Never In The Field Of Human Conflict Was So Much Owed By So Many To So Few.
