SChVab Talks toPoor Boys.
President of the Billion-Dollar
Steel Corporation Says He
Knows of No College Bred
Captains of Industry.

New York, May s.-Chas. M.
Schwab, president of the United
States Steel Corporation, talked
for 90 minutes tonight to 800
poor boys of the East Side, stu.
dents in st. Georges Evening
Trades School. The occasion
was the commencement exercises
of the school. Mr. Schwab said,
among other things:
"From my long experience 1
am led to believe that many boys
make the mistake of depending
upon Influence to obtain for them
positions of profit. This is a
serious drawback to any boy, for
even if he has the talents neces
sary to advancement, other boys,
his competitors, will say that his
success or partial success was due,
not TO merit, but to influence. Go
yourself 70 seek work in life and
depend upon your own exertions
and merits. Merit must count and
must win. The boy who depends
upon Influence is handicapped
sadly from the start.
"No matter what business YOU
enter, the essential feature to
success is that you perform your
tasks better than anybody else.
This alone will command attention
Everybody is expected to do his
duty, but the boy or man who
does little more is certain of
promotion.
''Success is not money making
alone, and l want to state that of
the truly great mon l know in
industrial and manufacturing
lines, mono is a coIlegebred man,
but they are men who received
an industrial or mechanical educa-
tion and who worked up by per-
seversnce and application. Let
me advise you all to make an ear
ly start in life. The boy with
the manual training and the com.
mon school education who can
start in life ut 16 or II can leave
the boy who goes to college till
he is 20 or more SO far behind in
the race that he can never catch
up. This, however, does not ap .
ply to professional life. The
other day l was at a gathering of
4o successful business men-men
In Industrial and manufacturing
