| Summary |
"For the Sake of the School" by Angela Brazil is a school novel written in the early 20th century. The story centers around the experiences of schoolgirls at The Woodlands, a fictional boarding school, focusing particularly on Ulyth Stanton and her newly-arrived roommate, Rona Mitchell from New Zealand. The narrative explores themes of friendship, personal growth, and the contrasts between different upbringings as Ulyth struggles with her expectations of Rona. At the start of the novel, we are introduced to a lively scene at a train station where a group of schoolgirls eagerly awaits their friends' arrival. The focus shifts to Ulyth Stanton, who is excited about her pen pal Rona joining her at The Woodlands. Initial enthusiasm gives way to disappointment as Rona's personality clashes with Ulyth's expectations of a refined and cultured friend. As Ulyth navigates her complex feelings, the opening chapters set the stage for exploring their evolving relationship and the challenges they face within the school environment.
