THE JUNE YOUNG MAN.

Year after year the college grAdus<e places upon himself false estimate. He shurs common sense as a horse would :" shy V around an old coat. h1ng on a

 editorial headed The June Young Man.
 makes these beautiful remarks
 The trouble with the college graduate is
 that he goes from his college into the world
 equipped for everything in general and noth-
 ing in particular. He doesn't imagine that
 this the case. He has far more assurance
 than he w;u have six months from aog. He
 IS ready and anxious 10 attempt anything
 bui he IS really. SO far as practical money
 making is concerned. as helpless as ar ir-

 The June young man is especially im- pressed with the idea tha, he is an editor. He has perhaps written a old stock" es- says tor the college magazines, and has been able 10 poin, out the errors made oy the compositor in = setting up prope. Latin names from pad manuscript. His repulses a. hrss startle him, ,bu, after awhile ne becomes accustomed 70 such usage. | He Is TO, valuable man in a newspaper [ ofTce. His La,in;zed form Of expression, ais neglect of. or rather his con,emp, for l English grammar, his ignorance of modern history and his lack Of acquain- anoe with current politics, all blockade { lis road to advancement.

He IS a man of to-day. ie understands history both aneier. and noceIn. lie has read the classics in ;nglish, and as ire presiden; of John Hopkins university recently remarked
 l. Is rare scholar who canno, learn nore of Greek and Latin literature from he English than from the original lan- ,uages." The June young man has re- eived an excellent star. and can educate limself As some one once remarked. ie can unlearn much of that which he las learned. Ten years spen, in an old lbfaiy would be of great bench. 70 a nan, but division of the tune, spend ng par, in the library and a part in a nole practical pursuit would better serve
