1931 TID! Qlltlill 1931 English Eepartmrnt The old picture of the bored school- boy who finds his classes unutterably dull and lifeless will rarely be found when he is traveling blithely down Eng- land's brightest roads of song and story. He hears the jangling of spurs, the bus- tle at the inn, and the cries of the post- boy, as the loved characters in bookland take the coach down literary way through the streets of London town, to Sherwood forest, and from thence to hear the rhyme of the Shropshire Lad. He tar- ries a while with the Bard of Avon, he follows the road of the coach with Black- more to the land of the Doones, and he picks heather in Sussex with Clem Yeo- bright. He rolls along the great high way to Buckingham and Kent, and stops for a space with the Earl of Huntingdon. He journeys up, down, and around Eng- land with some of the most famed and jolly traveling companions of all time - the members of the Pickwick Club. They are jolly good companions all and have at their fingers' ends a large fund of fact and merry quip. There is Tony Weller, who drives the coach, and his irrepressi- ble son Sam who spells his last name with a we. There is the beau ideal, Tracy Tupman, and then there is the widow Bardell. To travel with Samuel Pickwick, Esquire, and to share some of the vicissi- tudes of the road with his fellow club members is a privilege unparalleled. Our schoolboy lives with these many friends and learns to speak their language-the King's English.
