"We have no private school in this district, no provision of any kind for the abnormal. " 78 EDUCATION IN A DEMOCRACY The other day I stood looking across the street into the windows of a private school, windows literally darkened by the shadow of a great public-school building. This private school had been an old dwelling-house, one of a solid block of houses that it had appropriated much as a hermit crab appropriates an aban- doned mollusk's shell, the school accommodating itself to the house..., not the house to the school. A single window to a floor let in the shadows of the street. The select children were in the study room; and as I looked, I chanced to see one of them seize what appeared to be her geography, and bring it down with a vicious smash upon the dear devoted head of her select sister. It was only the exceptional act, of course, which proves the abiding rule of good manners in private schools ; but I could only think how human and hopeful private-school children are, and how like public-school children, really; and what a pity to mew up these few select girls in this dark, inadequate, abandoned house of gentry, when they might have spent the afternoon across the street with a thousand little unselected broth- ers and sisters, in the spacious halls of the great DEMOCRACY 79 public school as I was spending my after- noon, it being the day before Christmas marching down the long ringing corridors to the tune of "Over There, " for an hour of Christmas singing and story-telling in the sunny assembly- room; and marching back singing, "Keep the Home Fires Burning, " every right hand at salute as the thousand little singers passed out between the Colors flanking the assembly-room door.
