THE BOY OF TO-DAY.
Sir Arthur Yapp, secretary of the National Council of the Young Men's Christian Association, finds that the average boy is 5 per cent mischief, 5 per cent pride, 10 per cent courage, 10 per cent determination, 10 per cent love of truth, 10 per cent cowardice (not so much physical fear as fear of what his fellows * might think of him), 2o per cent selfishness, self-will and selfindulgence (which could be turned into the right channel), and 25 per cent activity, push and go.
