April 1914 Henry Lawson - North Shore Sydney

On visiting my old school After many years, I should like to be able To express how pleased I feel at the cheerful and happy appearance of the children, under the new system, and the marvelous change in all things connected with the school; as contrasted with the dull, dreary, senseless grind of the system under which we were supposed to have been taught and which was irksome to teachers and pupils alike. 

And I cannot express my delight at the well kept appearance of the Old School which my Father built, and at which I worked and studied as a boy and in the trees that have grown up round it since then. 

A look through the Class Room convinced me that I have much to learn and unlearn yet; and I would like to be enrolled here a pupil again, as say Henry Lawson Aged 4 Infant Class
