Show A Boy Will Show Bit Bent. Schoolmasters of experience could, no doubt, tell of numerous cases of boys who have been distinguished at school for nothing at all, except possibly general gen-eral all round laziness, and who yet developed de-veloped in later life into successful warriors, war-riors, lawyers, clergymen, or authors. The usual rule, however, seems to be that, if a boy is going to turn into a great man, he shows some signs of his future in his early career. It is not necessary for these indications to be intellectual; a youth endowed en-dowed with the exceptional physical vigor which is destined to carry him to the front when he attains man's estate may be prominent at school simply for iis athletic prowess.
