POPULAR BOYS
ATHLETES' ADVANTAGE EARL BALDWIN'S VIEW LONDON. Juno 20 In addressing the boys of Shrewsbury School, Earl Baldwin, the former Prime Minister, said: "Old gentlemen talk bunkum when they tell boys that schooldays are tho happiest time of their lives. That is true only about a popular athlete. True popularity comes only when a boy, without making the slightest effort, gains it. "There was never a time," he added, "when there was a greater need for a steady stream of really good men to grow up to take a hand at straightening this harassed world."
