Of text-books, about which we hear so much, I never felt the want. I do not even remember having made much use of the books that were available. I did not find it all necessary to load the boys with quantities of books. I have always felt that the true text-book for the pupil is his teacher. I remember very little that my teachers taught me from books, but I have even now a clear recollection of the things they taught me independently of books.
