THE AUSTRALIAN BOY. The average Australian boy (writes the Sydney correspondent of a London paper) gives his father mu ill to think about. It is not that oe is disobedient and discontented more than other boys, but that the sunshine seems to have somehow taken the faculty of reverence out of his soul. Ho does not find much anywhere that overawes him, unless it be a phenomenal cricketer, and then be will, as soon as not, call him by his Christian name if be' gets a chance. It is told of a father, i’l glisli born, who wanted to sh >w bis son the glories of the Mother Land, that" he took the lad round lonlui without extracting any comment from him to indicate that no was impressed . Not evon-tlie Bank of England, with its stores of gold, could draw from him more than the suggestion that it might be compared to places in Sydney and Sydney with out hurting anybody. lie was impressed witli the navy and army whenever ho saw them, but his dominant thought seemed to bo one of eliicioncy, not of size or fashion. What can they do? Can they do it well? So much must bo allowed that reverence in this particular found a beginning when it dawned upon Young Australia that in England there wore so.diers who could ride and sailors who could shoot; and, of course, he knew all about English cricket. But the result of the tour, speaking genet ally, was that the lad got a new joint of view without giving his sun-smoth-ered consciousness any great access of shadow. The Australian father, it must bo remembered, is as often as not British born. He may have been a boy when he landed, and he may be now getting into the sere and yellow loaf; but he thinks of the Old Land still as home, and his ideals are anchored on the thought. 'firs touch of irreverence in his sen—tr perhaps it would he fairjr to cell it a lack of proportion—prompts him at times to sigli and wonder. He knows there is a section in the Austra’mn community which loves to use terms of disloyalty—under its l roata ; ard lie fancies that perhaps it may have serious influence on the ri-mg generation. “Australia for the Aurtralians” is a cry' that he does not unite understand, and he fiercely resents the way in which it is some "inas used. But reflection shows lum cmarly enough that Young Australia is all right. The old flag is. everywhere, and “God Save the King” is sung nowhere so lustily as ill the public schools and where men and women m the making most do congregate.
