“‘In 1935 [in] Leighwood House, discipline here was enforced by the masters per medium of an extremely cruel horsewhip… bruising was seen by the school doctor and the whip barred. What was not known was that two little boys in the middle of the night entered the master’s study and hid the whip and so there was some trouble in locating it in order to have it destroyed. – perhaps this is a good example of self reliance. (I know who the other boy was but ain’t saying).'”
