was a mess. He hated school, ~ ~
and his father once shouted: |
''You for nothing but
shooting dogs and rat-catch-
ing, and you will be disgrace

couldn't stand the sight of
blood He was sent to divinity school and barely
managed to graduate. Whereupon he chucked the
whole business and shipped to the South Seas on
the famous exploring ship Beagle On that voyage,
one of history's greatest scientists was born.
Faulkner foiIsd in English
Politics offers familiar example Of contrast.
Herbert Hoover must have learned administration in
the cradle When he at school he was drafted as
football manager, though he didn't know the game,
and glee-club manager, though he couldn't sing
note Whatever he touched went smoothly, glee
club or food for a starving Europe.
But one of his successors in the White House had
about as checkered youth can be imagined.
Turned down by West Point because of poor vision,
Harry Truman tried dozen jobs, including stretches
in drugstore, a bank, bottlng works, and rail
road yard. But he got there just the same!
Great writers are supposed to be born, not made,
but here again there many fascinating excep-
tions. William Faulkner quit school in the fifth
grade and ratified around the country as a house
painter and dshwasher.
Once he tried attending college, but failed in
freshman English and quit. He wangled post
masters job in small Mississippi town, and infui-
ated the populace by getting the mail all mixed up
and closing the Office whenever he felt like it.
Faulkner was Is before he started the writing career
that won him Nobel prize.
And Just to show that girls can be as confusing as
boys, take Pearl Buck, who from early youth made
it point to write at least few lines every day of
her life Then take Edna Ferber, whose sole ambi-
ton was to be an actress she thought of
writing anything until she in her 2Os and had to
take $3-a-week job on a newspaper to help her
family.
How oboUf those prodisiss?
And added to all the aforementioned paradoxes
you have small army of child prodigies who were
graduated from college when they were Is, and are
now obscure clerks in accounting departments. And
you have small army of men who were too stupid
or indoent to get into finish college and who are
today presidents of the firms that hire the prodges.
So who's to say what about youth? Any young
boy or girl who knows what he wants to do in life
is probably the better off for it. But teen-ager
need despair of the future. He has that one special
advantage over the greatest alive time If you
don't think time counts, look at Grandma Moses.
