Chapter Two? I believe the term is "comrades." The boys scoffed because they considered their teacher anything but a comrade.

"I can see him now, as he used to glare at us through his spectacles and say in a moving voice: "Won't you join up, Comrades?"

These teachers always carry their feelings ready in their waistcoat pockets, and trot them out by the hour. But we didn't think of that then."
