The Ideal SchOOlbOy.

The ideal schoolboy is an orderly ma
chine, always obedient, receptive, sub
missive, ready in the cricket field and
with real or simulated enthusiasm for
football, despising all other games, and
conservative to the backbone. He is
the darling of the master, who sends
him home with glowing reports and
arms full of prize books. 1t seems never
TO occur TO anyone that there may be
natures to which the classical Ian
guages and history make no appeal,
who have not the gift of the mathe-
matician and who do not even care to
play at cricket or football If such ap-
pear in a public school they have a bad
time of it, dragging out their miserable
days the bottom of the form, regarded
as fools by the masters and as muffs by
the boys. And yet among these school
failures there may be Liebigs or Oar
wins, or, at any rate, there may be, and
commonly there is, the material out of
which good and useful citizens are
made, if only they had chance to show
what they can do.-Nature.
