About this book

The Story of a Great Schoolmaster is credited to H. G. Wells. Wells writes that in no part of our social life is dull traditionalism so powerfully entrenched as it is in our educational organisation. Wells writes that Sanderson in his latter days broke into unexampled freedom, but for the greater part of his life he was, like most of his profession, 'wading hips-deep in fools,' and equally resolved to work out his personal impulse and retain the great opportunities that the governing body of Oundle School had, almost unwittingly, put into his hands.

A passage from a sermon entitled Creative says that all this condition of anarchy, this waste and void, was the material out of which a new world was to be created. The text gives the line 'The secret of a joyful life is to live dangerously' and says you only live dangerously if you are perpetually trying to overcome your own inertia.
