Excerpt from H. M. I: Some Passages in the Life of One of H. M. Inspectors of Schools Thirty years later bitter experience wrested from me the frequent remark that I did not find my work hard or disagreeable when I was once in school: all that I complained of was the travelling. And there came another curious reminder of the con versation Of 1854. One day, in the 'eighties, I was lunching with a Roman Catholic priest, and among my fellow-guests was a much-loved Canon, who apologized for having omitted his morning shave because he was suffering from neuralgia and, he added, I have often thought I should like to be a Capuchin Monk, so that I might be at liberty to grow a beard. Being myself a hairy man, I pointed out that Inspectors of Schools had the same privilege. But the Canon promptly retorted that he believed there were certain qualifications necessary for the Office Of inspector, and he had never heard that there were any required for being a Capuchin.
