MODERN BOY’S NERVES
“The modern boy is a fine fellow,” says the head of Harrow. “You can trust him fnr more than you trust the modern man. But his nerves are not perfect. There is something subtly wrong with the nerves of the hoy born during the war; and I am afraid the hoy born after the war, who will be arriving at school in about 18 months’ time, will be even more nervy. He will need careful handling. “The modern boy is much more civilised than his grandfather was as a boymore civilised even than his father. That is why birching fs going out of fashion.”
