little tour around the city, going first down on
River street. Some of the hoys were reckless

Though we venture to cleave to the
opinion that the average schoolboy, when
at school, is literally young barbarian,
1t is fair to discriminate. The small boy,
before his term at school, is often an
imaginative little fellow. fond of reading
and even of poetry. He soon gets that
knocked out of him, and enters the
grubby stage, abjuring sentiment and
living chiefly on chestnuts, oranges,
tofee, tarts, and "sock in general. In
this stage he is a good deal bullied, and
is initiated by painful ceremonies into
the mysteries of the tribe. His hand is
against masters and monitors, and every
mans hand is against him. When he
reads, he reads penny novels about boy
pirates. This grubby state gradually
alters as the hoy takes to the use of
scent, and to decorating his person with
gorgeous neckties in the holidays. Soon
after this he either becomes an athlete. a
student Every rarely, or mere ornament
OF society or man about school, so to
speak, looking down upon football.
These characteristics abide with him
until ne gets in the sixth, and the eleven,
or gets a scholarship, or takes to writing
poetry, or to reading about evolution, OF
to collecting china wherewith to furnish
his study. And so he ceases to be boy,
and becomes an undergraduate, forget
ting his grubby ways and barbarous
rules Of conduct. But in all stages he
is loyal to the unwritten laws of his tribe,
and will endure all things rather than
reveal anything to master Or pastor
