THE TRAINING OF AN ENGLISH GENTLEMAN IN THE PUBLIC SCHOOLS

다국어 초록 (Multilingual Abstract)

THE first part of my duty, and the pleasantest, is to offer you, sir, my sincere thanks for your kindness in suggesting that I should give a lecture before this large audience, and, still more, in consenting to preside at it. For the title of the lecture the responsibility must rest upon yourself, or upon my old friend Mr. Inagaki, who introduced me to you. But to me it can be only a high privilege, if by any words of mine upon English education--a subject, as you have said, not unfamiliar to me--I can help, in however small a degree, to strengthen the sympathy between your country and my own.
