Here ends this book about my little boy.
What more can there be to tell?
He is no longer mine. I have handed him over to society. Hr. Petersen,
candidate in letters, Hr. Nielsen, student of theology, and Froeken
Hansen, certificated teacher, will now set their distinguished example
before him for five hours daily. He will form himself in their likeness.
Their spirit hovers over him at school: he brings it home with him, it
overshadows him when he is learning the lessons which they zealously
mete out to him.
