TMOUGHTS FOR THE TIMES.
The Boy And The Achievement. “No hoy ever wins a scholarship unless lie realises that, in addition to the prescribed work being done as well as it possibly can be done, be must spend some part of his time in private work. It is there- that tbe responsibility of the home, comes in. If bis parents take the view—a- view that is prevalent in all (lasses of society to-day, which I believe is responsible for the majority of ■ our discontents—that work is an evii that as little time as possible should be spent on it, and that the matter of primary importance is that everyone should have what is popularly known as a good time, then I can see littlo chance of hoys winning-scholarships or of their fellow-countrymen, being a success in any walks of life.”-—Air Af. L. Jacks, headmaster of Afill Hill School, in a speech recorded in the London “Evenings News.”
