Mature Adjusts Matters and Always
Preserves an Equilibrium.
Once year the schools and colleges
of the country harvest crop OF grad
yates, and once year the wise men
Of the land write essays for publlca-
ton on the surplus Of men who are
entering the law, medicine and other
callings that are open to the newcom-
ers. If the wise men are to be be-
lieved. it would seem that all the oc-
equations were filed and that the
young man had arrived too late.
Fortunately for the tenderfoot, the
wise men have always been wrong.
No philosopher has ever presented
logical argument that did not leave
something to be said on the other side.
Every year since the world set up for
business a new crop of young men has
arrived, and that new crop has even
tually become the stay of the race.
What has been going on eternaly Will
continue. The young chaps will locate
themselves. 1t is no argument that
lawyers have their signs staring at
you from every hallway on half the
streets within several blocks OF every
courthouse in the country. The mar
vest that includes a new lot OF law
yers also raises 4 lot Of new litigants.
Nature takes care to preserve an
equilibrium. If the fledgelings Of the
medical schools do not find bones to
saw. some Of them turn TO saving
wood. The boy who has gone through
college with the intention Of becoming
president Of the United States finds
satisfactory job as master of ceremo-
MES in Il coalyard. A few jostles and
the new man adjusts himself to cir
cumstances. and then he has become q
part of the machine, which runs on as
usual.
1t is unnecessary to become alarmed
about the surplus man. If he is in law,
medicine. theology, horse trading, ped
ding milk or anything else, he finds
it out, and he arranges the matter in
some way without any upheaval in So
ciety. The surplus man Is surplus
only until he gets his first job. After
that he is one of the establishment

that 1t will not be concluded until
