Capitolo 45

education should cut in him, although Boston, with unusual
foresight, rejected the old sketches. What kind of education was
stamped elsewhere, a Bostonian didn't have idea, but he escaped the
evils of other standards having at all anybody standard; and that that
it was true of school it was true of society. Boston didn't offer anybody that

the most greater part of boys very the most interesting. A succeeded scoundrel owes
enjoys besides the great physical advantages a true vocation, and
Henry Adams had anybody; but any boy escaped some contact with
vice of a very low form. Blackguardism came under continually
