Summary

This quote implies that while life may not always be filled with pleasure and amusement (beer and skittles), it is still essential for an Englishman to have some form of leisure and enjoyment in their education. It suggests that recreational activities, or something similar that brings happiness and fulfillment, should be an integral part of personal growth and development. This could be interpreted as a reminder to value leisure and entertainment as important aspects of life, alongside more traditional forms of education.
