lads are In demand everywhere. They
are sought for with eagerness, and,
when found, employers delight In push
Ing them forward, in opening TO them
new fields OF enterprise and usefulness,
in making them their confdants, ana
finally taking them into partnership.
Boys who are slovenly in attire, who are
stupid, uncivil, and who cannot be
trusted, are to be had, but they are not
likely to keep position for any length
of time. Employers do not want them.
The boy who Is wanted must be edu-

give him a high school or college educa-
ton, he must learn TO study without the
aid of teacher, in the early morning
before business begins, and in the even

longer be truthfulIy said that an educa-
ton is out of any ones reach. Our
splendid school system, where one can
study by day or in the evening,
has put the priceless treasure OF an
education within the reach OF all.
