Every country boy whose ambition it
Is to ''go to the city, should ask him
self the following points; they are sug-
gested by a very level headed man:
Benjamin Franklin. one of the most
sagacious and practical of the worlds
great statesmen. had the habit, 1t is
said, of reducing every puzzling prob
lem In life to a series of written ques-
tons and answers. When l can see
them before my eyes, l can master
Them he used to say. There are hun
dreds Of boys and girls today on farms
and In country villages who are eager
to go to the nearest great city to TRY
their luck" We offer a few questions
for them to consider before making
their decision.
Ftrst.-I am going to the city in the
hope of making my fortune. Is there
any duty at home on which l shall turn
my back when | go-any duty weight
Ter and more urgent than that of max.
ing my fortune?
Second.-For every dollar to be earn.
ed there are at least ten competitors In
the city for one here in the country.
What qualities have l that will insure
me success over the other nine?
Third.-The jack of all trades. OF
'handy man who can turn his hand to
anything is not wanted in the city.
He is speedily trampled out of sight.
Success Is to be won only by the men
best trained in their own trades or pro.
LESSONS. What trade or profession
have 1? What proof have | given of
special ability in any trade l have In
mind or that may seem attractive to
me?
Fourth.-Have l energy. skill. pleas.
Ing manners. tact, to win me q place
where the crowd and the competition
are SO great? Or is my only qualifica-
ton for town work discomfort with
home and village life and untitness for
work in the country?
Fifth.-At home | have the good will
and friendship given to my family and
to me by people that have known me
since l was born. This Is a valuable
capital, out of which happiness can be
made to come. What is there in the
city to atone for the lack Of it to a poor,
friendless boy! Isn't there some occu-
patton in the village or the country
town that | can secure. or cannot farm
ing, with energy and industry, be made
to give me al adequate livelihood?
These questions if gravely considered
may lead a boy or girl of common
sense to a wise choice at one Of the
