Dr. Cranage’sundeviating aim is to train the boys committed to his care, not only in mental acquisitions, but in their whole moral and physical being; believing, that as much pains and unremitting attention are required for the latter as the former. Attention is given not only to the studies which the boys pursue, but to their recreation, games, and amusements—upon the principle that almost every incident affords materials for improvement, and opportunities for the formation of good habits.
His main object in the intellectual culture is to teach the boy to think; without omitting the positive work and hard study to brace “the nerves of the mind” for the making of a scholar.
The system of rewards and punishments is peculiar, with the general absence of corporal punishment; but the experience of more than twenty-four years has fully proved its efficiency.
Above all, his desire is to bring them to Christ as their Saviour, and then to help them to walk like Christ, as their example.
Dr. Cranage finds the most wonderful difference in the progress and conduct of the boys committed to his care according to the measure of moral support he receives from the parents and guardians of the boys. He earnestly solicits their hearty and constant co-operation in his anxious labours.
The skeleton Report will give a succinct view of the subjects of study. The aim is to give a thoroughly liberal education, without too exclusive attention to Latin and Greek. In the study of languages the system of Arnold is considered admirable, but not perfect; the grammar is therefore supplied, and iteration and reiteration of declensions, conjugations, and rules to impress indelibly, by rote even, all the fundamentals are resorted to. Latin, as the basis of most of the modern European languages, is considered—even to boys not going to college—very important; it is deemed also very desirable forallboys to be able to read the Greek Testament before leaving school.
Some objects are taught by familiar Lectures only, illustrated by extensive apparatus; while many other subjects are occasionally thus exemplified.
A report of each boy’s improvement and conduct is sent to his parents or guardians eight times in each year.
At the end of each year the School is examined by the authority and direction of the Syndicate appointed by the University of Cambridge, and a copy of the Report is sent to the parents or guardians of each boy. There is also an examination at midsummer by the masters of the school on the work of the previous half-year; a report of which is sent to the parents.
The boy’s Reading Room is furnished with good Periodicals and a well-selected Library.
There is a well-furnished Laboratory for the study of Chemistry, Photography, &c.; Dr. Cranage himself instructing in science in the school.
A Museum is established for collecting specimens to illustrate natural history, arts, and sciences, together with articles of virtû and antiquity—the boys themselves being the principal collectors and contributors.
There are three orders of distinction in the school conferred for proficiency, combined with good conduct:—1st, Holder of a Certificate; 2nd, Palmer, or Holder of the Palm; 3rd, or highest, Grecian.
The School-house is delightfully situated within a mile of the railway-station of Wellington; it is well adapted for its purpose, and fitted up with the necessary appliances. The school-room, reading-room, dining-room, lavatory, bath-room, and dormitories are spacious, airy, and convenient; the playgrounds very extensive, and well fitted for healthy recreation.
There is a swimming-bath on the grounds.

[28]Inquis. Henry III., incerti temporis, Nu. 6, 156.
[41]For additional particulars respecting this interesting tenure we refer the reader to the Appendix B.
[49a]There is a legend that Major Smallman, a staunch royalist, surprised by some of Cromwell’s troopers, hotly pursued over Presthope, turned from the road, spurred his horse at full gallop to the edge of the precipice, and went over. The horse is said to have been killed on the trees, whilst the Major escaped, and secreted himself in the woods. Facts and local circumstances concur in giving a colouring to the tradition, and deeds extant show that the family resided here from the reign of Henry III. to the time mentioned. See Appendix C.
[49b]See Appendix.
[63]In 1390, Sir Humphrey de Eyton, an ancestor of T. C. Eyton, Esq., of Eyton, was ranger of this forest.
[64]The Old Hall, which we suppose to have been the old hunting lodge, the residence of Dr. Cranage, Watling Street, is another interesting specimen of the residences of the Forester family, and of the style of building and profusion of wood used therein during the great forest periods. Dothill, now the residence of R. Groom, Esq., is another of the old family residences of the Foresters.
[66]Appendix D.
[69]For a more complete account of the Forester family, we refer the reader to the Pedigree given in the Appendix E.
[171]Lord Dundonald, who lived in the old mansion, still standing, at the Tuckies, was an excellent chemist, and constructed some ingeniously contrived ovens, by which he extracted from coal a tar for the use of the navy, and which also became an article of general commerce.
