About this book
An eagerly awaited letter gives Irving Upton a teaching post at St. Timothy's School in New Hampshire and makes his brother Lawrence's college plans possible. Quiet and easily embarrassed, Irving leaves his work in a village store for the challenges of a private school. Arthur Stanwood Pier's school novel follows a young master's uneasy encounters with boys whose jokes can make ordinary duties feel like public trials.
Westby turns newspaper clippings into a dining-room performance, tests the wording of school rules, and repeatedly leaves Irving struggling for a reply. Elsewhere, noisy dormitory games and autumn sports shape the boys' daily lives. Irving wants more than orderly behaviour: he envies the friendly relationships other masters have with their pupils.
