Crocker Harris.
Answers
Answer:
Mr. Frank and Mr Crocker-Harris provide a striking contrast.
Mr. Frank is a young teacher and teaches science to higher classes while Mr Crocker-Harris is a middle-aged schoolmaster. He is a teacher in the traditional mould and teaches classical literature to the lower fifth class.
Mr. Frank lacks the sense of involvement that Mr Crocker-Harris seems to have in studies. He is a science teacher but shows no interest in science while Mr Crocker-Harris is a dedicated teacher. He has a wonderful hold over his students. Students seem to be scared to death of him. He is a hard and honest taskmaster. On the other hand, Mr Frank lacks honesty. He doesn’t seem to care for the rules. He doesn’t do his duty well. Being a teacher himself, he urges Taplow to avoid the punishment given by Mr Crocker-Harris.
