And the remarkable thing about his achievement is that it isn't -remarka-hle at all. Thousands -of boys -are as favorably situated as he is for doing the same thing ; it is only that they could do it and he did it that- makes the difference. "His -methods -have not been spectacular; he bears not the slightest resemblance to the heroes of various popular' boys books, nor ;has he been spurred by any dire necessi ty; he has notpeen goaded into action m any way, or required to drudge away his boyhood; he Has merely-been given sympathettic encouragement, and been allowed to do his own think ing and planning and to "reap his own reward.
