Punch, or the London Charivari, Volume 105, July 29th 1893

Mr. Punch has much pleasure in recommending the following Prospectus to the notice of parents desirous of finding a thoroughly practical school where boys are educated according to the real requirements of modern life.
Mr. J. Pen-Rullox, M.A. Cambs., and the Rev. Wilfrid Bails, B.A. Oxon, receive pupils to prepare for the great public schools and universities.
The well-known qualifications of Mr. Pen-Rullox, who rowed stroke in his university boat in the celebrated race at Amwell in 1878, and of the Rev. Mr. Bails, who played for Oxford in the famous university match in the Common Fields in 1882, will be sufficient guarantee that the boys will be thoroughly well instructed.
Besides Rowing, Cricket, and Football; Swimming, Racquets, Boxing, and Hockey, are specially attended to by competent Assistant-Masters, under the personal supervision of the Principals.
Billiards, Lawn-tennis, Poker, Nurr and Spell, and some other minor games, now too frequently neglected in the education of youth, will find their due place in the curriculum of Cloanthus House.
It is in contemplation, should a sufficient number of boys show a marked inclination for such studies, to engage a Board-school Master, of approved competence, to direct literary and scientific work.
Terms, inclusive, £250 per annum, payable in advance: the only extras at present being Reading, Writing, Polo, and Arithmetic.
Reference is kindly permitted to the following:—The Right Rev. the Bishop of Isthmia; the Editor of the Sporting Life ; the Rev. R. E. D. Horgan, M.A., Jesurum Col., Cambs; the Sports Editor of the Field ; the Warden of Mortlake College, Putney; Dr. S. A. Grace, LL.D.; the Hon. and Rev. Hurlingham Peel.
Break, break, break,
O voice on that clear top C!
And I would that my throat could utter
