Actually, it kind of went by the wayside around WWI, when the entire
school system started getting reformed in light of the growing
importance of science and technology. Unfortunately, it was not really
"talked about", and references are few, far between, and often veiled in
euphemisms (which means it's hard to search for specific ones). I first
learned about it when I read TOM BROWN'S SCHOOL DAYS years ago, came
across the word "fagging", and did some research on it. But this was
from my college library, and I don't recall the books in which I read
it. I will have to do some additional research; in my initial research,
I have only found veiled references.
