Synopsis
Excerpt from Friendly Talks With Boys
Well, this state of things has passed away, in a measure. I do not think there is any catechising or much speech-making in our public schools now There are a great many great men now, as everybody knows, but they are too busy to talk to school-boys, and, in fact, the boys are too busy to listen, what with all the lessons and recitations which are packed into one Short day. Not every boy now thinks or even wishes to be President. Not that it has ceased to be a worthy ambi tion - God forbid such a time should ever come But the years open ever fuller and more varied opportunities for energy, ambi tion, and influence. There are countless ways in which one may achieve greatness as the world esteems it, though if true greatness lies in goodness, then that is another question. There is only one narrow way to that.
