Have you read this?  Help!
« on: December 01, 2003, 06:30:55 PM »
Something has been stuck in my head and I'm trying to find out a) who wrote it, and b)where I can read it again.

It was an essay we read in high school, written by a famous male writer about his time spent in a British boys' school.  He described how they all used the same towel after a bath and how, when he had a collapsed lung, they made him run miles in the cold to try to "fix" it.

Did anyone else read this?  Do you remember who wrote it?

I am not sure but it seems to be in line with George Orwell. "Such such were the Days". It sounds familiar.  Will check back if husband has any further ideas!

Being ignorant is not so much a shame as being unwilling to learn. -Benjamin Franklin

I have long since come to believe that people never mean half of what they say, and that it is best to disregard their talk and judge only their actions. -D.Day
