When he was 12, Sir, Henry sent Ainsley to Barrow Hurst. There was another Father Gill at the school of a different family and Ainsley to avoid mistakes, always signed his papers with a very large and distinguishable A J. This became such a characteristic that he began to be called A J by his friends. In his third year, he suddenly startled at everybody by leading a minor rebellion. There was a master at the school named Small John who had a system of discipline for which A J had gradually conceived an over mastering hatred. The system was this small John stood in front of the class gold watch in hand and said, If the boy who did so and so does not declare himself within 25 seconds, I shall give the whole form an hour's detention. One day after confessing himself under such threat of vicarious doom. The author of some trivial misdeed AJ calmly informed his fellows that it was the last time he ever intended to do such a thing. Couldn't they see that the system was not only unfair but perfectly easy to break down if only they tackled it the right way and the right way was for no one ever to confess. Let them put up with a few detentions. Small John when sue can get tired of it when he found his system no longer worked. There are a few Barrow hurst men who will still remember the quiet faced boy arguing his case with an emphasis. All the more astonishing because it was the first case he had ever been known to argue.
