4 An ex-headmaster Of rs years. ex-
perience has confessed that he was
anything but a model boy at school.
He is not exceptional. Some boys
who have no lack Of brains have not
the examination mind" and in some
the intelligence is too yivacious and
original to be. interested in routine
work. There are boys who are really
dull and viii never be anything else,
but there are also boys who are mere
ly unconventional and boys who are
apparently dull only because they are
slow. $$
Human beings are like plants. It
is not always the tree which grows
and fruits the quickest that gives the
best crop in the end. The brilliant
boy does not always fulfill the expec-
tations Of his friends, while the boy
who was supposed to be dull occa-
sionally surprises everybody in after
life because his mind was Of the sort
which takes long time to mature.
No hard-and- fast rule can be laid
down. But, as Dr.. Chalmers Mitchell
has pointed out, It is a general rule in
nature that the longer the period Of
youth the greater is the intelligence

Part Of Manhattan Known az the Bat

That part Of Manhattan known as
the Battery was originally what It's
name implied. It extended from
whitehall and Water streets to Green
wich street, and bristled with guns.
Where the elevated structure now Is
was water. Three hundred feet off
shore stood the building now used for
the Aquarium, 1t was a fort, and be-
came XII swn' as Castle. Clinton. With
Fort Lafayette and Castle Williams it
constituted part Of the defense Of
New York. \. . 51.s5 3. a. n
It had been coded to the Federal
government BY the state, and in 1922
was ceded back. Here It WAS General
Lafayette landed when he visited the
country more than 40 years after the
close of the Revolution. The fort had
then been rooted over, and It had been
rechristened Castle garden and was q
place Of amusement. Jenny Lind, the

York debut in it. /,
The work in filling in the ground
from the old Battery to what is now

New York, Nov. 15.-When the

championship bout every week.
Tex Richard did his best to make
the dreams come true last winter,
but the prospects are not SO good as
the new season approaches. NJ
Rickard and other promoters have
"a double difficulty in arranging cham
pionship bouts. In some divisions
there are; no suitable opponents for
the champions and in other classes
where talent is more, plentiful, the
titleholders refuse to fight to a de-

Benny Leonard, the lightweight

will not box in New York because of
the general incompetence of the

mission to weigh the merits of the
boxers. Sscg
Leonard is not the only one to criti-
tcize the poor work of the officials.
Boxers Of all divisions and the fans
have observed that. some glazing in
justices have been done by the judy

"crooked work" The boxers complain
merely that the judges, are doing bad
work. because they don't know better.

title at stake, but there's no one in
