Father FinneTJy's zeal in the upbuilding

David r Porter. a BOWdOin man. who

dressed the meeting OF boys in the boys
department. 7. N, c. A. yesterday. Mr..
Porter insists there Is too little chance for
the boy in high school life TO train his

Tn the rush OF social. intellectual. and
athletic activities said Mr.. Porter. few
high school boys are given an opportunity
70 pick out the hard things and do them.
a boy who does not exercise viii have
fabby muscles. and a boy who does not
learn 70 do hard things viii find ulti-
mateIy that he has 6 fiabby will
Although only per cent Of the boys
OF any community graduate from high
school, from this small number come over
% per. cent Of the leaders OF Our national
life. To train this future leadership TO
be men Of great power, q voluntary move
ment Is taking place all over America 20
enlist high school boys to do hard things
for other boys. 70 help purify school life-
TO Danish dirty athletics, 90 organize and
