THE 1955 SCHOOLBOYS.
"It would be wonderful to be leavjng school somewhere about the year 1955," writes Lord Snell, in Reynolds' News. "What a brave new world these fortunate young people will then faee. With their clear young eyes they will look at the shape of things to eome. They will be the heirs of time and glory. Someone'has said that experience is a comb which Providence bestows on a man only when he is bald-headed, and Mr Bernard Shaw has recently lamented the fact that the opportunities and blessings of youth ari? given only to young people. He evidently thinks that the young rascals do not merit such considerations. He and I are both frankly envious of their fortune. The world in which they will live will be freed from much that we have hated and tried to destroy. They will be better educated, better boused, and better fed than are many people of our day, and they will possess the power to reorganise the State on lines which will outgrow poverty, ugliness, and greed. Lucky young beggarsl "
