describe taplow's meeting with frank

Taplow had come to school for extra work under the orders of Mr Crocker-Harris. As he tells Mr Frank, he would have preferred to play golf but since Mr Crocker-Harris was leaving and Taplow had already missed a day of school last week, it was imperative for him to come. Also, Mr Crocker-Harris was unlike any ordinary master, so he had called in Taplow for extra work, failing which he would not have been conferred his remove to graduate from class. Taplow's meeting with Frank was quite by chance but it led to an extensive discussion about teachers, teaching methods and the different streams of academic knowledge that one could pursue. The two teachers, Frank and Crocker-Harris were quite different, it is illustrated in the discussions that Taplow engaged in with Frank. Frank was much younger than the already established Crocker-Harris who could be regarded as the propounder of an old school of pedagogy. As Frank encouraged Taplow to come out with his opinions on the different teachers and the way things were taught at school, we get to learn about the academic system of that place.
