ADVENTUROUS BOY

WORKING WAY ROUND WORLD

BETTER THAN UNIVERSITY At the age of 18, a Harrow schoolboy, a nephew of Viscount Peel, has already worked his way half round the world. He is Mr. Penrhyn Goldman, son of Major and the Hon. Mrs. C. S. Goldman, and it is believed that he set out on his great adventure to settle an argument with his brother, who is at New College, Oxford, reports the London “Daily Chronicle.” Mr. Penrhyn Goldman thinks that a man who has worked his way round the world Is more likely to get the better of life than a man who has been to a university, and as soon as he left Harrow he went to Canada to put his theory to the test. Major Goldman, who lives at Inchmery House, Hampshire, said that his son determined to work his way round the world, not only to get a wider experience of life, but to study the Dominions, in which he Is greatly Interested. “He will not be home for at least nine months. He is now in Adelaide, but is going to New Zealand shortly to work on a sheep farm. “After leaving Canada my son went to Rhodesia. He worked his way from South Africa to Australia as a deckboy on a P. and O. liner. “In Australia he made an adventurous journey from the South to the North, covering 4,000 miles in a ‘baby’ car. I believe he is only the third person to have made this journey under such conditions.” Mr. Goldman worked for six months in South Australia, and his anxiety to see life in various phases has led to some curious “ups and downs.” In Adelaide he was the guest of Sir Alexander Ruthven, the State Governor, but at Broken Hill, New South Wales, he was refused accommodation at four hotels because he had a workworn, dirty and blistered face. Mr. Goldman’s mother is a sister of Lord Peel.
