And it was held that such attire
Was all a youngster could require.
At fifteen now, it’d different quite,
A boy wants shoes of buckskin white
And black and tan and pumps to dance
With clothes for every circumstance;
A dinner coat, a set of tails;
A manicure to trim his nails
And rigs for various kinds if sports
Including fancy-colored shorts.
At fifteen now, though lean or fat,
A boy must have an opera hat ;
Three overcoats; two suits of white,
And shirts and ties in colors bright,
That he, whatever’s going on.
The proper dress for it may don.
That “Sunday best” which -I recall
Today would never do at all.

At fifteen plain I recall.
We had no picture shows at all;
No telephone; no radio,
And very oft no where to go.
I had two suits of clothes; the one
I wore till Saturday was gone
And then, for being nicely dressed,
The one they called my “Sunday best.

If both my shoes were neatly tied.

From the San Francisco Chronicle:
Young President Conant of ancient Har-
vard University is evidently an old-fash-
ioned person. He believes that men, though
equal in fundamental rights, are unequal in
capacity and should receive unequal rewards
for theirunequal services. And he believes
that it should be somebody's business to fur-
nish exceptional opportunities to exceptional
men, and that Harvard may very properly
specialize on that.
On the principle that, in matters of ability,
to him that hath shall be given, he would
like to have the new graduate school of pub-
lic administration train, not mediocre men
for protected routine positions in the civil
service, but the few ablest for competitive
promotion to the highest responsibilities.
With the stupid, universities of course are
not concerned, but President Conant would
not have this department of Harvard trouble
itself even with the “mediocre”—that is,
the persons of ordinarily good intelligence
and energy, who can fill most positions well
enough. To find only the best, and make
them better, is his goal.
