Concord, New Hampshire, Of g
young lawyer too proud to beg, DIV.
in9 Of sheer starvation. For two
years he had been a member of the
Concord bar. He had fair ability,
was industrious, temperate aud hon.
est. But the profession was full.
There was not work enough for him
to do and he could not earn enough
to keep soul and body together.
For weeks he subsisted, or tried to,
ON crackers and water; but in the
end he was forced to yield and was
found dead in his office.
The chances are that he misunder
stood his vocation. Had he been
really gifted with a genius for the
law, he would have made his wav
even in the conservative state of
New Hampshire. But ho was most
likely cut out for something else. He
might have made an honest livelihood
at the carpenters bench, or the ma.
chinlSts lathe, or the blacksmith's
forge or even in following the plow.
There is no record, even in TIE
unpromising Granite State, of a
young tarner Or mechanic starving
to death for lack of employment.
Farmers and mechanics are always in
some demand. Bit he became a
lawyer, probably because he thongh,,
Or his friends thought, that it was
more genteel o be a lawyer than to
work for a living. So he very gen.
teely starved 10 death.
The case is slngllar one but it
is wonder that it should be. There
are lawyers and doctors. too, in ev-
cry large city in the land, whose pro
lessiou does not afford them a decent
living. There are plenty of them in
Detroit; men who might I've renun-
eralivrly employed in agriculture or
the industrial arts, but whom fool
ish pride keeps in professional life
where they are slowly starving. And
they are not alone to blame for this.
Our educational system is largely re-
sponsible. 1t is the states theory
as shown by the states practice
that it is better TO be lawyer or a
doctor than II good, we'll trained me
chauic. If a young man wants 10 be
a lawyer or a doctor the state throws
open the doors of her professional
schools and gives him an education
for nothing. But If he wants to
learn to be a mechanic he must shift
for himself. Society very naturally
follows the state-unless it is the
state that follows society. At all
events, both society and state rule
the professional man higher than the
mechanic and foster the foolish pride
which fills the professions to over
flowing with just such young men as
the New Hampshire unfortunate.
