what"s the moral of the chapter "the browning version"??

In The Browning Version, everyone seems to equate success with popularity and sports. On one hand we find the example of Mr. Frank Hunter, who is a successful schoolmaster because he relates better to the boys. On the other hand, there is Mr. Andrew Crocker-Harris who is not at all popular in spite of being a gifted classical scholar because of being a strict disciplinarian.  However, Hunter is envious of Harris, as he lacks the devotion of the latter; he teaches science but shows no interest in his subject. The author through this play vividly brings about the agony of a dedicated teacher and how we many a times fail to realise the real worth of a person.

The moral of chapter the browning version was to present the relationship between a student and a teacher. Taplow a boy was asked to stay for extra work by his teacher Mr. Crocker-Harris. He was naturally very disappointed and his later conversation with Mr. Frank reveals this. But instead of his anger his words show his love and dedication towards his teacher Mr. Crocker-Harris. Frank quiet failed in tempting Taplow to abuse Crocker-Harris. Thus Taplow represents an ideal student who stays there for extra work even after Frank tells him to get dismissed.May be this can help.
