About forty years ago,I was an instructor in the military academy at Woolwich,when young Scoresby was given his first examination.I felt extremely sorry for him.Everybody answered the questions well,intelligently,while he—why,dear me,he did not know anything,so to speak.He was a nice,pleasant young man.It was painful to see him stand there and give answers that were miracles of stupidity.
I knew of course that when examined again he would fail and be thrown out.So,I said to myself,it would be a simple,harmless act to help him,as much as I could.
I took him aside and found he knew a little about Julius Caesar's history.But he did not know anything else.So I went to work and tested him and worked him like a slave.I made him work,over and over again,on a few questions about Caesar which I knew he would be asked.
He came through very well on the day of the examination.He got high praise,too,while others who knew a thousand times more than he was sharply criticized.
I thought that what in the end would destroy him would be the mathematics examination.I decided to make his end as painless as possible.So,I pushed facts in to his stupid head for hours.Finally,however,I was shocked out of my mind.He took the first prize! And he go the highest praise.
