Hmm, I think he wrote " scouting for boys" sounds like good clean fun.

I am sure some of the old chaps everyone mentions were fairly learned in thier time but to continue there opinions into the 21 century is surely folly.
Just look at the background of these people, there education was largely the "classics" yes they could see pretty things for there class however I wonder is they could really recognise anything creative even if it hit them between the eyes.
