Blakiston, headmaster of St. Alary and St. Nicholas College (Lancing College), who was reported to have made, at the Aledical Conference, a startling criticism of the- modern boy, claims that he has been seriously misreported. He said he was dealing with mental deficients and not the average school boy. Air Blakiston was reported to have said that- by comparison with the boy of 30 years ago the modern lad was timid, untruthful aryl dishonest. He expected to be taken .everywhere. Above- all he feared loneliness and boredom. Consequently the old spirit of adventure was destroyed. The war had had a definite result upon those who were infants in the period 191418. Consequently there were numerous young people who worked feebly and played feebly.
