Start Things Moving Produced by Juliet Sutherland, Huub Bakker and the Online Distributed Proofreading Team at http://www.pgdp.net "The Grammar School Boys of Gridley; or, Dick & Co. Start Things Moving" by H. Irving Hancock is a novel likely written in the early 20th century. This story revolves around Dick Prescott and his friends, who navigate the spirited yet sometimes tumultuous life of young boys at a grammar school while dealing with issues ranging from school discipline to tackling a neighborhood bully. The opening of the book introduces Dick Prescott, a boy with a lively spirit, who is quickly put in a sticky situation for whispering in class. This minor transgression leads to an embarrassing moment when he is pressed to share a funny story in front of his classmates by their stern principal, Old Dut. As the story unfolds, there are hints of both camaraderie among Dick and his friends, and trouble involving the reckless Abner Dexter and his abusive tendencies towards his wife, which foreshadows deeper conflicts. The scene sets the tone for a lively exploration of childhood adventures, friendships, and moral decisions as Dick and his companions embark on a journey that challenges their notions of bravery and justice in their community.
