He soon became devoted to the other worlds and lives to which books gave him access; they also stimulated his desire to write. Later that year he entered Thomas Morley's Commercial Academy, a <a href="/wiki/Private_school" title="Private school">private school</a> founded in 1849, following the bankruptcy of Morley's earlier school. The teaching was erratic, and the curriculum mostly focused, Wells later said, on producing <a href="/wiki/Copperplate_script" title="Copperplate script">copperplate handwriting</a> and doing the sort of sums useful to tradesmen. Wells continued at Morley's Academy until 1880. In 1877, his father, Joseph Wells, fractured his thigh. The accident effectively put an end to Joseph's career as a cricketer, and his subsequent earnings as a shopkeeper were not enough to compensate for the loss of the primary source of family income.<sup id="cite_ref-18" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-18"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>18<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> </p> <figure class="mw-default-size mw-halign-left" typeof="mw:File/Thumb"><a href="/wiki/File:Uppark-Sfront-01.jpg" class="mw-file-description"><img src="//upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/a/a6/Uppark-Sfront-01.jpg/260px-Uppark-Sfront-01.jpg" decoding="async" width="260" height="175" class="mw-file-element" srcset="//upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/a/a6/Uppark-Sfront-01.jpg/390px-Uppark-Sfront-01.jpg 1.5x, //upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/a/a6/Uppark-Sfront-01.jpg/520px-Uppark-Sfront-01.jpg 2x" data-file-width="1850" data-file-height="1246" /></a><figcaption>Wells spent the winter of 1887–88 convalescing at <a href="/wiki/Uppark" title="Uppark">Uppark</a> in Sussex, where his mother, Sarah, was the housekeeper.<sup id="cite_ref-Pevsner_19-0" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-Pevsner-19"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>19<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup></figcaption></figure> <p>No longer able to support themselves financially, the family instead sought to place their sons as <a href="/wiki/Apprenticeship" title="Apprenticeship">apprentices</a> in various occupations.<sup id="cite_ref-20" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-20"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>20<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> From 1880 to 1883, Wells had an unhappy apprenticeship as a <a href="/wiki/Draper" title="Draper">draper</a> at Hyde's Drapery Emporium in <a href="/wiki/Southsea" title="Southsea">Southsea</a>.<sup id="cite_ref-GHW1925_21-0" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-GHW1925-21"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>21<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> His experiences at Hyde's, where he worked a thirteen-hour day and slept in a dormitory with other apprentices,<sup id="cite_ref-wheen_15-1" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-wheen-15"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>15<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> later inspired his novels <i><a href="/wiki/The_Wheels_of_Chance" title="The Wheels of Chance">The Wheels of Chance</a></i>, <i><a href="/wiki/The_History_of_Mr_Polly" title="The History of Mr Polly">The History of Mr Polly</a></i>, and <i><a href="/wiki/Kipps" title="Kipps">Kipps</a></i>, which portray the life of a draper's apprentice as well as providing a critique of society's distribution of wealth.<sup id="cite_ref-batchelor_22-0" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-batchelor-22"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>22<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup><sup class="reference nowrap"><span title="Page: 2">: 2 </span></sup> </p><p>Wells's parents had a turbulent marriage, owing primarily to his mother being a <a href="/wiki/Protestantism" title="Protestantism">Protestant</a> and his father being a <a href="/wiki/Freethought" title="Freethought">freethinker</a>.
