MASTER EXPLAINS.
MODERN BOY EXONERATED. MISREPORTING ALLEGED. (.United Press Association—Copyright) LONDON, July 31. Mr Blakiston claims' that he was seriously misreported. He was dealing with mental deficients, ', not with average schoolboys. Mr C. H. Blakiston (headmaster of Lancing College) was reported to have said that, by comparison with the boy of 30 years a£o, the modern boy was timid, untruthful and dishonest. He expected to be taken everywhere, ana, above all, he feared loneliness and boredom. The consequence was that the old spirit of adventure had been destroyed. The war had had a definite result* on those who were infants in the period of 1914-1918, and consequently there was a large number of young people who worked feebly and played feebly.
