College Men In Business.

1t is often said by practical business men
that they would rather receive boy at the
age of Is or IS, and train him to special
work by actual acquaintance with it than to
take him at the age of 20 to %, after COM
pleting an academic or college training.
Now, here are few figures to be pom
dered by such young men as are in hurry
to get into the business harness.
In two different cities of the United
States, both at the west, 100 young aaer
occupying responsible places, were asked
to report the kind and amount of education
they had received. The comparative mum
bers were the same in the two cases, witt
the exception OF those enclosed in paren.
thesis, so that each census strikingly con.
firms the other.
Of 100 young persons (male) in posi-
tons OF responsibility,
80 were from the common schools,
25 (24) =" high
% " normal schools or bus.
mess colleges.
% Gay from colleges or universities.
To understand the true significance Of
these figures, a few more will be necessary
Of 100 males who attend the common
schools, only 2 81 ii. e., two and a quar-
ter in the hundred) ever reach the high
school; only 1.47 (not quite one and a
half enter normal school or businesscol-
lege; and only 81 (23 of one per cent?
attempt college education.
Now if we combine these figures with
those first given, we shall obtain unex-
pected, if not startling, results-as follows
The number of those in positions of trust
and responsibility who have had a high
school training is proportionally eleven
CID times greater than of those who stop
with the common school; the number of
those from the normal schools and business
colleges is fifteen (15) times greater; and
that Of graduates from college and univer-
sity courses "a times greater.
And yet there are many practical" men
who would dissuade an ambitious young
man from going to college.
But it is thorough training-howeyer ac-
quired-that tells in the long run.
And it is not idle, as certainly it is not
without interest, to add that 81 of each 100
young men were communicate in Chris
tan churches, and others regular attend
ants.-The Vermonter.

Memorial Services.

A terrific gale sweeping up the dust Sun
day afternoon required a soldier-like
bravery for ladies to go upon the street,
but good company gathered with the vet
Grams for the service in the opera house.
An anthem was rendered by the Congre-
gational choir assisted by H. c. Elliott and
an orchestra of young girls, J. F. O'Brien
at the organ. The scriptures were read
by Rev. G. R. B. Dodge, pastor of the
Baptist church, and prayer offered by Rev.
L. H. Elliott, Vermont secretary OF the
Bible society, who was supplying the Meth
odist church..
Rev. Ellsworth Fullerton OF the Con-
gregational church announced as his text
Elk. XIV: 3. "The Lord is a man of war
He commenced by remarking what we owe
to the soldiers who hazarded life and limb
to preserve the country, and went on to
say the text expressed the ideas of the Con-
federate general who has lately said the
confederacy came so near success several
times that the only way to explain the re-
suit was to say that God fought for the
north. The address was simply an earnest.
sympathetic Christian sermon that God
showed himself man of war in creation
and in providence, that war was as divine
as peace, that God has drafted us all for
the war between good and ill in this world,
and plea that we honor the draft and be
true soldiers in town and country but par
ticularly in the fight tor our own souls.
The choir and orchestra led the audience
in singing America and the benediction was
pronounced by Rev. Mr.. Elliott.
