Poor Boys Opportunities

An American by birth and education, as
were his parents before him. and the grand
son of naturalized citizen who gave his
life for the Union, Archbishop Mundelen is
enthusiastically American. I'VE all have

spite of the talk about the corporations de-
stroying the poor boys chances. The poor
boy succeed as readily the rich boy.
and does so much oftener" When appointed
Auxiliary Bishop of Brooklyn six years ago
he gave this message to the school children:
at is work, even more than brains, that
counts. A great recommendation for hard
work is that it keeps out of mischief. Tell
the children that every great and good thing
in the world has been accomplished by per-
severance and hard work"
The Archbishop in personal appearance is
tall and slender. His nose is large and aqui-
line, his eyes dark and sometimes twinkling,
sometimes flashing; his forehead high and
broad, his hair dark and close cropped, but
getting bald on top. His face is both youth
full and strong, He carries himself always
erect and is fond of long walks. He tramps
about the streets and country roads, some-
times alone and often with companion. For
he likes companionship, well as his books
and his ecclesa stical tasks.
