Excerpt from The St. Andrew's College Review: Easter, 1907 The boy who apes the man. Copying habits and customs be longing to an age other than his own, not only fails in his desire to appear as a man, but is supremely ridiculous in the sight of those he imitates so badly. The strong. Pure-minded boyish boy is too busily engaged in the interests and pursuits Of his kind to care for the things outside Of that sphere. He looks forward to the time when he shall have arrived at man hood, but he has no unholy desire to hasten that time by unlaw ful means, or to enter too soon a heritage that sooner or later will be his by every right. He sees that men do certain things that he does not; but he realizes that they do so by right Of age and experience. Accordingly he has no desire to imitate them; he is content in his own little sphere Of well-emploved boyhood. Unconsciously he has become possessed Of the very trait for which he was not even striving; it has come to him unsought though not undesired; he has achieved true manliness.
