Читать книгу Lost Voices of the Edwardians: 1901–1910 in Their Own Words - Max Arthur, Max Arthur - Страница 99

When we moved to Clapham, South London, my mother wanted to get me into a high-grade grammar school in South Lambeth Road. She went to see the head, who said, ‘Send the boy up to me and if he can pass the school entrance, I may be able to find a place for him.’ So I went to do the exam. He was a lovely man. He put me in the main school hall. He said, ‘Now, make haste slowly!’ and I did my best and answered all the questions on the paper. And I passed. It was a fantastic school, and they taught us French, science, woodwork, metalwork and art. The art master took us to the Tate Gallery. I used to spend Sunday afternoons at the Tate. I loved that school. I went there until I was almost sixteen.
