(From the Private Schoolmaster , Sept.15,1890). “ As to the relative advantages and the reverse” (says the Field) “ of placing school cricket under the dom inion of a master or of a professional, the H on. and Rev. E . L yttelton prefers the master.’ * W hen both sides of a question receive support from those of acknowledged competence to speak on the subject, it is presumably allowable for hum bler individuals interested therein to form opinions for them selves. F or our own part, wo think a master cannot compare to a pro­ fessional in point of real utility. There is an unavoidable feeling of restraint imposed by the person, as a coach , of the dom inie in the cricket field. If he be there as a spectator or as a participator in the practices or “ pick-up ” sides, well and good, but to make him officiate in the capacity of regular instructor does not comm end itself to our judgm ent. A principal, even supposing him to feel the inclination, would hardly be able to devote the necessary amount of time, so that the duties of the post would, of necessity, devolve upon an assistant master, who, to bring about any good results, must him self be strong “ all round,” and more especially strong, perhaps, in the bow ling de­ partment. Instructing boys in a game is not at all the same thing as playing it w ith them, and the teacher has to be prepared for con­ siderable self-sacrifice; it does very little good to the boy cricketer to bow l to a m an who simply amuses him self by driving the (to him) feeble deliveries to all points of the compass. T o put his pupils satisfactorily through their paces in fielding cannot but prove somewhat irksome to their instructor; he must, in fact, com e to the cricket field with the intention of benefiting others, not with the idea of amus­ ing himself. There are not so very m any assistants who feel at all inclined to do this, more particularly if they have just ended—or perhaps not yet ended—an arduous day’s work. If the duty of cricket coach attaches itself to the ordinary duties of his post, he is bound to make his appearance; but, in all probability, he would do as m uch good by staying away— a thing he is very likely irritated, at times, at his inability to do. Whereas a “ pro.’’ comes to his regular employment— that of instruc­ tion ; if for no other reason than that of m aintaining his reputation, he perform s what he has engaged him self to perform, to the best of his ability. He is far more likely to perceive genius when it exists than a master “ coach ” would be, simply because his 3 stimate of a boy’s capabilities is formed entirely from a cricketing point of view. H e has had no opportunities of observing the ever-increasing insanity displayed by his pupil in the m anipu­ lation of ablatives absolute, or ut w ith the subjunctive, nor has his ear been shocked and his entire nervous organism disturbed, by twenty false quantities in half a page of repe­ tition. H e can appreciate aptness in the cricket field because he has not learnt to despair of any change in the apathy of the sohoolroom . And he m ay possibly unearth and develop a W . G. Grace in places where the form master has searched in vain for a mute, inglorious Milton. It is not every school where arrangements will permit of the em ­ ploym ent of a professional; much, in such cases, m ay be and has been done by energetic assistants and sometimes principals, in the direction of cricket field edu cation ; but, where professional services can be employed, and where boys are willing and anxious to learn, the benefits resulting from them are real and substantial. Nor is the expense such as need deter any but large schools from adopting the plan : a professional, if he be not required also as “ ground man,” can be obtained for a very moderate outlay indeed. W e venture to think that, in spite of Mr. L yttelton’s opinion, not a few of our readers w ill be inclined, from what their own experi­ ences have taught them , to side with us in the m atter.
