Discussions and Changes 1840-1850', 1850]: 'I am bound to admit the justice of your Remarks'. HGL has plans to write something similar on education but his priority at present is 'to revive (what was almost extinct) a sound and accurate knowledge of grammar, that I have considered all things to be postponed to this'. HGL has had a tough time educating the boys aged 16 and 17 - this year's crop are most unpromising. He cannot count on the boys doing their best for the Election Examination: 'You know well, that the Studentship at Christ Church are, in point of perpetuity and income, much better than your scholarships; and both Parents and Boys covet them. I know that cases have occurred, when boys have purposely hung back in point of mathematics, in the chance of being rejected by the Master of Trinity'. HGL has tried to find a remedy for this but cannot.
