Explore "Glengarry School Days" by Ralph Connor on Textopian. Read with annotations and highlights.
Archibald Munro had a steady purpose in life -- to play the man, and to allow no pain of his -- and pain never left him long -- to spoil his work, or to bring a shadow to the life of any other. And though he had his hard times, no one who could not read the lines about his mouth ever knew how hard they were.
It was this struggle for self-mastery that made him the man he was, and taught him the secrets of nobleness that he taught his pupils with their three "R's"; and this was the best of his work for the Twentieth school.
