The boy who is wanted in the bust

If his parents cannot afford to give
him high school or college education
he must learn to study without the aid
of a teacher in the early morning be-
fore business begins and in the even

longer be truthfully said that an edu-
cation is out OF any ones reach.
''Our splendid school system, writes
Russell Sage where one can study

priceless treasure of an education
