Synopsis
A book of deep and practical wisdom, and uncommon common sense, by one of the nation's most eminent educators. F. Washington Jarvis was headmaster of Boston's Roxbury Latin School, the oldest school in continuous operation in North America. His approach here is anecdotal, how real people cope with real situations. Jarvis's addresses, reprinted from his school's publications, have enjoyed something of a cult underground circulation among young people--and their parents and grandparents. Now his best addresses have been brought together in a single volume for wider circulation.
