This class realize more or less what they are about, but cannot
be called a danger to the morals of pure boys.
"(c) Young boys who, whether in the development of their own
physical nature, or by the instruction of older boys of the class
(a), find out the pleasures of masturbation or intercrural
connection. (I never heard of a case of _pedicatio_ at my school,
and only once of _fellatio_, which was attempted on a quite young
boy, who complained to his house master, and the offender was
expelled). Boys in this class have probably little or no idea of
what sexual morality means, and can hardly be accused of a
_moral_ offense at all.
"I submit that these three classes should receive quite different
treatment. Expulsion may occasionally be necessary for class (a),
but the few who belong to this class are usually too cunning to
get caught. It used to be notorious at school that it was almost
always the wrong people who got dropped on. I do not think a boy
in the other two classes should ever be expelled, and even when
expulsion is unavoidable, it should, if possible, be deferred
till the end of the term, so as to make it indistinguishable from
an ordinary departure.
