1 This morning, the village school opened.
2 I established one for boys: I mean now to open a second school for girls.
3 The school, thus improved, became in time a truly useful and noble institution.
4 The bread and cheese was presently brought in and distributed, to the high delight and refreshment of the whole school.
5 Meantime, Mr. Brocklehurst, standing on the hearth with his hands behind his back, majestically surveyed the whole school.
6 Morton, when I came to it two years ago, had no school: the children of the poor were excluded from every hope of progress.

8 Besides, school would be a complete change: it implied a long journey, an entire separation from Gateshead, an entrance into a new life.
